LIESUM v. KRAUS.
(City Court of New York, General Term.
June, 1901.)
Bankruptcy—Discharge.
Where the schedule of a bankrupt described a judgment debtor as George Liesman, and his real name was George Liesum, the bankrupt’s discharge did not release the debt as against George Liesum.
Oonlan, J., dissenting.
Appeal from special term.
Action by George Liesum against George J. Kraus. Judgment for plaintiff. From an order discharging the judgment on the ground of the discharge of defendant in bankruptcy more than one year before the motion, plaintiff appeals. Reversed.
Argued before CONLAN, O’DWYER, and HASCALL, JJ.
Goeller, Shaffer & Eisler (Robert Goeller, of counsel), for appellant.
Charles L. Hoffman, for respondent.

Opinion:
HASCALL, J.
Even if the alleged clerical error were a mistake, it was still a serious matter to plaintiff, and defendant should not be permitted to profit by his own wrong. Order reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements, and motion denied.
