Opinion:
PER CURIÁM.
The evidence in the record satisfactorily denotes that the bankrupts had their books of account in their possession or under their control at the time of the preparation of the schedules annexed to their petition of bankruptcy, and that they have concealed or destroyed them for the purpose of thwarting an investigation into their financial' condition. The order denying their, petition for a discharge was consequently justified. Order affirmed, with costs.
