Opinion:
Per Curiam.
We are of opinion that under section 32 of the Insolvency Act of 1852, the court erred in ruling out the offer of the plaintiff to prove that the defendant Grimes had wilfully, knowingly and intentionally omitted from the schedule of property annexed to his petition in insolvency, certain real property held and owned by him at the time of the commencement of the insolvency proceedings; and for this reason the judgment is reversed and the cause is remanded.
