AN ABSTRACT OF THE GENERAL
BANKRUPT LAW.
1. Who may be Bankrupts ? By sec. Ist,
the law establishes two kinds of bankruptcy—
tiie one voluntary, the debtor himself demand*
ing it, the other compulsory, the creditor ask
ing the court to declare the debtor bankrupt.
We shail digest the act, as regards both, in
order.
First, then, Who may be a Voluntary Bank
rupt? The act, sec. 1, says, all persons re
siding within the U. S. unable to meet their
debts and engagements, except those whose
debts have arisen,
1. From defalcation as a public officer.
2. From defalcation as an executor or ad
ministrator.
3. From defalcation as a guardian or trus
tee, or,
4. From defalcation while acting in any
other fiduciary capacity.
Secondly. Who may be compelled to be a
Bankrupt ? The act, sec. 1, provides that any
merchant, retailer, banker, factor, broker, un~
der-writer or marine insurer, owing 2,0ti0
and upwards, may on the petition of a creditor
or creditors to the amount of S3OO be declared
a bankrupt, if he has committed any of the
following acts of bankruptcy, viz :
1. If he has departed from the State, dis
trict, or territory in which he resides, with the
intent to defraud his creditors.
2. If he shall conceal himself to avoid being
arrested.
3. If he shall willingly or frauduentlv pro
cure himself to be arrested, or his property to
be legally seized for his debts.
4. If he shall remove or conceal his goods
to get them out of danger of process.
5. If he shall fraudently convey or transfer
his lands, g'>ods, credits, or evidences of debt.
Recurring now to voluntary bankruptcy, we
will inquire how a person must proceed who
wishes to be declared bankrupt ? Sec. 1 pro
vides that he must present a petition to the
proper court, verified under oath or affirma
tion, setting forth a list of all his creditors,
their respective places of residence, and the
amounts due to each of them, together with
an inventory of all his property, rights and
credits whatever, and the location and situa
tion of each part thereof; in which petition
they must further declare themselves unable
to meet their debts and engagements.
Now let us sea how creditors should proceed
who wish that, any debtor should be declared
bankrupt ? They also should present a por
tion to the same court, stating that he owes
them to the amount of SSOO ; that he is such
a person as the act, as before stated, makes
liable to be declared bankrupt; that lie owes
at least $2,000 ; and that he has committed
one of the above specified acts ot bankruptcy.
On the reception of every such petition,
notice shall he published in one or more ol
the papers of the district, at least 20 days be
fore the hearing, at the time and place of
which all persons interested may appear and
show cause against the decree of bankrupt
cy—the evidence at the hearing to he under
oath or affirmation, oral or by deposition, be
fore the court, its commissioner, or a disinter
ested judge of the State where taken.
After the hearing of such petition, present
ed either by the debtor or his creditors, the
court by decree will declare the person peti
tioning, or petitioned against, a bankrupt.
But any person so declared a bankrupt, at
the instance of a creditor, may have a trial by
jury to ascertain the fact of such bankruptcy,
if he petitions the court for that purpose within
ten days after its decree —if he does not, the
decree is final.
II—THE DECREE OF BANKRUPTCY AND ITS EF
FECTS.
By sec. 3, it is provided that all the property
and rights of property whatsoever of persons
who snail be declared bankrupt shall ipso facto,
from the date of the decree, he div ested out of
the bankrupt, and vested in an assignee to be
appointed by the court, who shall thereupon
be clothed with the same rights as to his prop
erty which, till that time, the bankrupt had ;
to act, however, under the direction of the
court; excepting the necessary household and
kitchen furniture and such other articles and
necessaries of the bankrupt as the assignee
shall designate and set apart, (altogether not
to exceed S3OO worth in any case, to be se
lected according to the family, condition, and
circumstances of the bankrupt;) and also the
wearing apparel of the bankrupt and his fam
ily shall be excepted and retained by the bank
rupt.
By sec. 2, it is provided that all future pay
ments or arrangements made by a bankrupt
in contemplation of bankruptcy, and for the
purpose of giving any of his creditors the
preference, and all other payments or arrange
ments by a bankrupt in contemplation of bank
ruptcy to any person not a bona fide purchaser
for a valuable consideration, without notice,
shall be deemed utterly void ; and the assignee
be entitled to recover the same as part of the
assets of the bankruptcy. But this is not in
tended to invalidate Bona fide dealings with
the bankrupt done more than one month be
fore the petition filed bv or against him, it
the other party to them had no notice of any
intended act of bankruptcy, or of his intention
to take the benefit of this act.
lII—THE DISCHARGE.

tled to a discharge.
By sec. 4, if a bankrupt shall bona fide sur
render all his property and rights of property
(those excepted as in sec. 3) lor the benefit of
his creditors, and shall fully comply with this
act, and obey all the orders and directions
which may from time to time be made by the
proper court, lie shall he entit led to a decree of
full discharge from all his debts.

time, in contemplation of tiie passage of a

tors assent- (Sec. 2.)

ty in number and value of the creditors pro
ving their debts, file their written dissent to
