JUDGE LOCHREN DECIDES.
Supports Referee Flittie in Case Where
Mankat0 Parties are Interested.

Judge Lochren has rendered deci-
sion in the case of Soldosky & Olson,
bankrupts, in which he afirms the
ruling of Referee Flittie.
1t appears that the firm was insolvent
from Nov. 1st, 1900, to the filing of it's
petition and adjudication March 2, 1901
On Nov. 10, 1900, it was indebted to the
L. Patterson Mercantile Co. of this
city for merchandise in the sum of
$217.79, and thereafter paid to that
creditor in the usual course of bust
ness $136. OF, which was received..b
the creditor without cause for believ-
ing that the debtor was insolvent.
After receiving this payment, the same
creditor, in good faith and without
security, gave further credit to the
debtor by selling it on credit other
merchandise to the amount of $149. %.
Upon proof of claim by this credi
tor, the referee held that this payment
of $136. OF was a preference received
by the creditor, which must be sur
rendered before the claim Of the credi-
tor could be allowed; but that in max
ing such surrender the creditor was
entitled to set off the new credits so
given to.the bankrupt; and that as
such new credits exceeded the prefer
ence, there was, after the set off, no
sum left to be paid to the trustee to
accomplish the surrender. The referee
therefore allowed the claim of this
creditor at the sum owing before the
preferential payment, $217 70, and the
excess of the new credit over the pre-
ferential payment, $13.17. or total of
$3.50. SO.
The trustee excepted to this ruling
and allowance by the referee, contend
ing that because the creditor received
the preference innocently it had no
right in the surrender of the preference
to set off such subsequent credits
given to the debtor.
Judge Lochren examined this ques-
ton prior to any reported decision on
the subject and held that sec. 60 ap-
piled to creditors who had innocently
received preferences no less than to
those who had received preferences in
bad faith, and such has since been his
ruling. There has since been consid
cradle conflict of decision upon this
question elsewhere.
