*310BRADLEY, J.:
I disseut'frorri the opinion of the court just read. In my opinion an adversary .suit against an insolvent person may be prosecuted- to judgment up to the very-moment of bankruptcy. ^he diligent debtor cannot.be deterred from such prosecution by a knowledge that his debtor is insolvent,- or. by any apprehensions that bankrupt proceedings may be in-, contemplation. He is not bound, himself, to petition against his- debtor in bankruptcy, nor does the neglect of his debtor to file such a petition deprive him of his fairly-gained preference, unless complicity between them can be shown, of which.in my opinion, there was no evidence, in this case.
Justices MILLER and DAVlS did not sit.
