DEBTS.
Section II, Bankruptcy Law:
An injury to person or prop
.vty 10 a malicious injury Within
the provision Of Section IL Of
the bank uptcy law If il Wds
wiuful, wTOnFu[ and Without just
cause or excuse.
Fox, Amdnr., VS.. Strunk. Law
No 1860.
The plaintiff obtained a judg.
ment of Two Thousand Seven
Hundred Dollars t$2,70O on Jan.
uary 20, 1894, in a tort action, the
intestate having been killed as
a result of being struck by de.
fendant's automobile. On March
13, 1884, q garnishment was is
sued and an answer filed by the
garniShee admitting an indebted.
ness. Defendants motion to quash
was predicated upon defendants
alleged adjudication as a bank
rupt on March 6, 1884. The point
in issue was whether plaintiffs S
judgment is excepted from a dis
charge by Section II Of the Bank
ruptcy Law, as being a liability
for willful and malicious injuries
to the person or property of an
other.
The declaration charged that
the defendant operated his auto
mobile at an excessive and unlaw-
full speed, negligently passing an
other automobile at a street in
tersection; failed to keep a proper
lookout, or to have his, automobile
under control; failed to give the
decedent a pedestrians right of
way; drove his automobile on the
left-hand side of the street, strik-
ing the decedent when he was on
the crosswalk and carried him a
distance of 81 feet, and then at
tempted to run away and leave
the scene Of the accident.

1904 Decision Cited

The case of Tinker VS.. Colwell,
1913 U. S. 473 decided in 1904)
had before 1t the question of
whether a judgment for criminal
conversation with plaintiffs wife
is discharged by bankruptcy. The
court held that it was not dis.
charged, being within the excep.
ton, and then stated as follows:
"It is not necessary in the
construction we give to the
language of the exception in the
statute to hold that every wiIIful
act which is wrong implies
malice. One who neligently
drives through a crowded thor
Oughfare, and negligently runs
over an individual would not,
as we suppose, be within the ex-
ceptiOn. True, he drives nell.
gently, and that is a wrongful
act, but he does not inten-
tiOnally drive over the individual.
If he intentionally would drive
over him it would certainly be
malicious ="
The court in the above case
also states that it does not think
the statute should be construed
so as to make the exception refer
only to those injuries to person
or property which are accompanied
by particular malice, or a malevo,
lent purpose towards the injured
person, nor confined to such
cases, and that it would not be
necessary to prove the existence
of such malice to bring the case
within the exception. 1t said the
fair meaning Of the statute would
not thus be carried out.

"InaSmuch as 1t would seem
that punitive damages cannot

NON-AYRAN SACES PLACED BY BRITISH

LONDON, Aug. 14.-Posts for 389 persons who, on grounds of relig- ion, political opinion, or race were unable to carry on their work in their own country" were found by the Academic Assistance Council in it's first year.
 The council was formed to aid German professors and research workers, dispossessed of their work by the Nazi regime.
 Places for 178 were found in the British Isles while the United States took 58, France fl, Turkey B and Holland 26.
 The Councils annual report states that more than $66,000 had been subscribed but that these funds are nearly exhausted. Un- less further contributions are re- ceived, the report says, the schol- ars and scientists harbored in Britain will have to leave.
 Their position" it says, Twill then be worse than before, be- cause the possibilities of help, or even of refuge, in other Europ- can countries have contracted since they were compelled to leave their fatherland."
