Opinion:
NETERER, District Judge.
The status of the parties was fixed as to existing indebtedness on the date of adjudication. A creditor, being inadvertently omitted from the schedule, does not gain any legal right 'thereby. When the schedule was amended on January 3 following, it related back to the date of adjudication. The credit from November 3 to November 14 was a new relation. The payment of the- $50 on the last-named date should be applied to the new account, $19, and the balance, $31, in the absence of direction as to application, was rightfully applied to the old account. The payment of the $35 on the 28th of November should be credited to the new account for merchandise purchased subsequent to November 14.
