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. 1. When a Bankrupt is, and when not enti 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. But— not, if a majority in number ans! value of his creditors who have proved their debts shall file their dissent thereto. Not —it he shall be guilty of any fraud or willful concealment of his property or rights of property. Not—if he has, in contemplation of bank- ! ruptcy, for the purpose of giving 1 a creditor or ! other person a preference or priority, arranged any of his debts by payment or otherwise. Not—if being a voluntary bankrupt, he has since the first of January last, or at any other time, in contemplation of tiie passage of a Bankrupt Law, by assignment or otherwise, preferred one creditor over another, unless a majority, in interest,*of his unpreferred credi tors assent- (Sec. 2.) Net—if he shall wilfully omit or refuse to comply with any order of the court or con form* to any other requisite of this act. Not—if he shall admit a false or fictitious debt against his estate. Not if being a merchant, &c. he shall be come a bankrupt and shall not ha\e kept proper books of account, after the passage o! this act. Not—if after the passing of this act, he shall have applied trust funds to his own use. Not—if before discharged, unless his estate produce, after all charges paid. To per cent, on the debts allowed. (Sec. 12.) 2. How is this discharge to be obtained 1 1. The bankrupt must liie a petition for that purpose. 2. Ninety days from the date of the decree of bankruptcy must expire, before the court can decree discharge. 3. He must give 70 days notice in a news paper to be designated by the court, to all creditors proving their debts and other persons interested, to appear at a certain time and place to show cause whv such discharge and certificate thereof shall not be granted—and 4. Personal notice or by letter as the court shall decree, to all creditors whose residence is known. (Sec, 4.) o On the day notified, the bankrupt and his creditors shall have a hearing, and the reasons for and against his discharge shall be canvassed. Then, and at all other times, be fore the Court or Court’s Commissioners, the bankrupt shall be subject to examination oral ly or on written interrogatories, on oath or af hr/ni*Kin, ill an ‘•! .t “f- r itiug to h.s ban#v ruptcy, his acts and doings and his property and rights of property, under the supervision of the Court. (Sec. 4.) 3. The rights of *he Bankrupt , if at first pre vented from obtaining his discharge. 1. (By Sec. 4.) if at the hearing, a majori ty in number and value of the creditors pro ving their debts, file their written dissent to the allowance of the discharge and certificate —or 2. If the Court under the circumstances shall refuse a discharge, the Bankrupt may demand a trial bv jury upon a proper issue to be directed by the Court, or, further, 3. In the latter case he may appeal from the decision of the Court, within ten days, to the Circuit Court of the United States, to be held for that District: submitting his case to the Court alone or a jury as he chooses, and, If the Court shall be satisfied, or a jury shall find that he has made a full disclosure and surrender of all his estate, and has in all things conformed to the directions of this act, the Court shall make a decree of discharge and grant a certificate thereof. Moreover, if on his examination, the Bank rupt swear falsely, he shall be gu.lty ot and punishable for perjury, as punished by the United States laws. 4. The operation of discharge. (Sec. 4.) A discharge and certificate shall in all Courts of Justice be a full and complete discharge of all debts, contracts, and other engagements, ot the Bankrupt which are pro vable under the act: and may be pleaded as a full and complete bar to all suits brought in any Court of Judicature whatsoever, and shall be conclusive evidence of itself in favor of the Bankrupt, unless impeached for some fraud or wiiful concealment of assets hv him, on prior reasonable notice specifying in wri ting such fraud or concealment. But it shall not discharge any peroon liable for the same debt as partner, joint contractor, ! surelv, or otherwise. I Jt shall not, nor shall any thing in this act | contained, annul or impair any lawful rights of married women or minors, or any lien, mortgage or other security on property, real or personal, Provided the same are not ar rangements lor fraudulent preference, (as in Sec. 2. specified.) IV. —DISTRIBUTION OP BANKRUPTS’ EFFECTS. Section 5 provides, that the effects of the bankrupt shail be distributed by paying 1. Debts due by him to the United States. 2. Debts due persons wiio, by the United States laws, have a preference inconsequence of having paid moneys as his sureties. 3. Operatives who have been in the service of the bankrupt, shall receive their wages in full to the amount of $25, provided the ser vices were performed within six months be fore the bankruptcy, and then— 4. All creditors proving bona fide debts shall share prorata: all pers >ns whose demands are not yet due, or whose demands are uncer tain and contingent, having proved the same, shall receive pro rata , when their claims be come absolute; or if they choose, the value of their claims may he ascertained under the direction of the court, and they may share as creditors in presenti. If any creditor shail not prove until after a dividend, he shall receive out of the next divi dend a jwo rata equal to what others have re ceived. In unliquidated accounts the balance shall be taken as the true debt. All creditors proving their claims shall thereafter be barred from any future suit, at law or in equity for the same, and all proceed ings then existing thereupon shall likewise be annulled thereby. V. —rROOF OF DEBT. Debts shall he proved before the court, or Commissioners by it appointed, who shall be residents in the bankrupt’s county.
