BANKRUPT ruling
TESTS AMENDMENT
Judge ReIIstab Hands Down De-
olslon Based on 1910
Change In Act.

a ruling rendered by Bankruptcy
Referee Atwood L. De Coster, of this
city, was affirmed today by Federal
Judge John Relstab in the local
branch of the United States District
Court Judge Rellstab based his de-
cision on the 1910 amendment to the
federal bankruptcy act. This was the
first time the amendment had been
brought into use In the local branch
of the District Court.
The amendment gives u trustee in
bankruptcy practically the same pow
ers as Judgment creditor, who CON
trolls judgments against a bankrupt
for all his debts. This gives the trus-
tee control of property purchased on
conditional bill of sale and not re-
corded, even though the property Is
not entirely paid for. Before the
amendment was passed the dealer
could claim the article sold on a con-
ditional bill, as security for his claim,
providing no attachment had been
made on the article by a Judgment
creditor previous to bankruptcy.
Judge Rellstab's ruling was the result
of stiff legal battle.
Gideon M. Dewitt. of Paterson, a
bankrupt, purchased concrete
mixer of w. V. Johnson & Co, of
New York, on a conditional bill of
sale He paid $50 down and was to
pay the remainder in monthly in
stallments.
Following his adjudication in bank
ruptcy the trustee sold the mixer
and applied the proceeds to the as
sets of the bankrupt. The Johnson
company claimed the sale money of
the mixer, and Refere DeCoster ruled
that because the conditional bill of
sale was not recorded the New York
concern had no claim on the mixer.
Counsel for the Johnson company
appealed from the referees ruling
and today Judge Reilstab upheld the
referee, by authority of the 1910
amendment.
David Bilder, of Bilder g. Bilder,
represented the trustee.
