The opinions of the appellate court AZ
the case OF William Landry. trustee In
bankruptcy against George w. Andrews
and same VS.. Byron NJ. Young, were
handed down today. Defendants de-
murrers are overruled. The defendants
were creditors of the insolvent firm Of

ed that Baker, with the knowledge OF
Andrews, took $500 from the firms funds
when the firm was insolvent ana paid IL

Another statement I'm the declaration
was that Andrews and Young were en-
dorsers on note OF the firm on which
note $500 was due. This note was paid
while the firm was insolvent and this IL
is claimed was a preference given An
drews and Young over other creditors.
The chief ground OF defendants' de-
murrer was that a payment of money Is
not transfer of property within the
provisions OF the bankrupt law.
Assuming that money Is included I'm the
term property. tho court says two Ques-
tions arise. Is it within the meaning of
a transfer when II is paid 10 a creditor
upon his own debt or for his benefit, and
II so paid can IL be recovered by the
trustee?
And. the court says, II an insolvent
debtor cannot, under the bankrupt law.

by Marjoaauc Pepin vs.. societe ST. Jean
Baptiste de Woonsocket, % recover ben
efts, wss presented TO the APPELLATE
court today on plaintiffs demurrer 10 de-
fendants special plea.
Mr. Pepin was a member OF the society
and says benefits he was entitled 20 be-
tween April ], 1898 and July. 1898, by rea-
son OF sickness were not paid him. lie
claims he complied with all the rules
about getting "A physicians certificate.
The defendants special plea was 10 the
effect that plaintiff had not exhausted
his remedies within the society, in that
the bylaws provide that disputes be-
tween the members OF the society and the
organizations shall be submitted 10 ar
bitrators.
The plaintiff submits four grounds OF
demurrer. the principal one being that
the by law in regard 90 submitting
claims 10 arbitration is absolutely void
and of no effect. and that it cannot oust
the court OF it's jurisdiction from the
matter.
Arthur NJ Allen, counsel for the plain
tiff argued that the contract I'm this case
was no different from any other con-
tract, and that the defendant organiza-
tion was only an insurance company and
could no more prevent n person having
a claim against IL getting justice I'm court
without regard to arbitration than two
private parties could bind themselves to
prevent court having jurisdiction Of
any trouble that might arise between
them.
The brief for the defendant will be sub
