THE BANKRUPT LAW.
'The following is a summary of the act to
establish a uniform system of bankruptcy
throughout the United States:
Section l—The District Courts of the Uni-
ted Slates are declared Courts of Bankruptcy
through which all proceedings in Bankrupt-
cy shall begin.
Section 2—The Circuit Courtss have pow-
er to supervise the proceedings of the District
Courts in bankruptcy.
Section 3 provides for the appointment in
each Congress District, upon the nomination
of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, of
one or more registers (to becounselors in the
District Courts), whose duty it shall be to as-
sist the District Judges in bankruptcy cases.
Section 4 makes it the register’s duty to
adjudicate upon, receive surrenders in, and
preside in bankruptcy proceedings. He is to
compute property, dividends, assign prorata
shares to creditors.
Sections 6 to 10 provide for the formula of
legal proceedings in the Courts of Bankrupt-
cy.
Section 11 makes $300 theminimum of debt
on which to declare voluntary bankruptcy,
requires the bankrupt to be or to become a
citizen of the United States, forbids a trans-
3 fer of property during pendency of proceed-
ings, and demands full exhibit of debts and
assets on the part of the voluntary bankrupt.
Section 12 and 14 provide that the action
in bankruptcy shall go on should the bank-
;rupt die, the same as if he were in me; that
3the creditors shall appoint an assignee of the
gdebtor’s estate, subject to the approval of the
:District Judge; that everything he turned
{over to the assigneis,whether of substance or
format for distribution except: That there
fshall he excepted from the operation of the
provisions of this section the necessary house-
;liold and kitchen furniture, and such other
garticles and necessaries of such bankrupt as
ithe said assignec shall designate and set
iaparl, altogether not to exceed in value the
fsum of $500; and also the wearing apparel
iof such bankrupt and that of his wife and
gchildren,aud the uniform, arms and equip-
:ments of any person who is or has been a
soldier in the militia or in the service of the
United States; and such other property as
.now is, or hereafter shall be, exempted from
;attachmeut or seizure, or levy on execution
by the laws of United States, and such other
property, not included in the foregoing excep—
tions, as is exempted from levy and sale
upon execution or other process or order of
Court, by the laws of the State in which the
bankrupt has his domicile at the time of the
commencement of the proceedings in bank-
ruptcy, to an amount not exceeding that
allowed by such State exemption laws in
force in the year 1864 : Provided, That the
foregoing exception shall operate as a limi-
tation upon the conveyance of the property
of the bankrupt to his assignees, and in no
case shall the property hereby excepted pass
to the assiguees, or the title of the bankrupt
thereto be imputed or aficctcd by any of the
provisions of this act; and the determina-
tion of the assignee in the matter shall on
exception taken. be subject to the final decis-
ion of the said Court.
Sections 15 to 18, give the assignee full
power to recover the property of the debtor,
to be distributed by whomsoever held; re-
quire him to classify and separate the goods
or other effects, empower the assignees to
choose arbitrators in matters of disputed
possession; and provde for the supervision
over and power to remove the assignees by
the district judge for cause shown.
Section 10 to 2i, ordain that claims be pro-
ved in the same manner as now against the
estate of deceased persons; provide for set
offs in mutual debts between debtor and
Clditlitlnls, forbids suits against the bankrupt
by those creditor roving their claims, and
provide that if any anlirupt shall, at the
.iime of adjucatiou, be liable upon any bill of
exchange, promissory note, or other obliga-
tion in respect of dist incl. contr acts as a mem-
berof two or more firms carrying on separate
and distinct trades, and having distinct es-
tates to be wound up in bankruptcy, or as a
sole trader and also as a member of a firm,
the circumstance that such firms are ill whole
'or in part composed of the some individuals,
or that the sole contractor is also one of the
joint contractors, shall not prevent proof and
receipt of‘dividend in respectof such distinct
contracts against the estates respectively lia-
ble upon such contracts.
Sections 22, 23 and 24 ri-quire verification
by oath of all claims by creditors, and if a
jcorporation, by the proper Officers, for that
purpose, to be filed before the Register, or if
in a loreigmcountry, before the Consul or
other diplomatic officer nearest adjacent, and
that. investi aiion can be made by the Judge
in case of a i doubtful claims. ,. ,
Section25 orders the sale and the holding
for distribution by the,asslgnee of all perisha-
fble property, the title to which is not in dis-
-. ate.
1) Section 26 provides for the examination of
the bankrupt by the Court, either at its own
option or at the request of assignee, into all
circumstances and statement of the bankrupt,
who is punishable for contempt for non-com-
pliance with the order for examination, and
jtor good cause shown, the wife of the bank-
'rupt may be called and similarly examined.
‘ Section 27 subdivides priority of‘ claims as
follow ; First: Servants‘ wages under $50.
Second: All the creditors pro rata, without
'any preference either from amount or date
of claims except that in cases where the
bankrupt has be ome bail, surely, or guaran-
‘tor for for another, the compliance of the lat-
ter with the éoudilions must be showu before
the claim is AllowedAt the expiraton ofihree
months from the date of the adjudication
of bankruptcy in any case, or as mucll earli-
er as the court may direct, the Court, upon
request of the assignee, shall call a general
meeting of the creditors, of which due notice,
shall be given, and the assignee shall then
report and exhibit to the court, and to the
‘crejitorsjust and true accounts of all of his
receipts and payments, verified by his oath,
and he shall also produce and file vouchers
for all payments for which vouchers shall be,
required by any rule of the Court ; he shall
also submit the schedule of the baukrupt’s
creditors, and property as amended, duly
verified by the bankrupt, and a statement of
the whole estate of the bankrupt as then as-
certained, of tne property recovered and of
the property outstanding, also what debts or
claims are yet undetermined, and stating
what some remain in his hands. At such
meeting the majority in value of the credit-
ors present shall determine whether any and
what part of the net proceeds of the estate,
after deducting and retaining a sum sufficient
to provide for all undetermined claims which,
by reason of the distant residence of the cred-
itor, or for other sufficient reason, have not
been proved, and the other expenses and con-
tingcucies, shall be divided among the cred-
itors, but unless at least one-half in value of
the creditors shall attend such meeting, eith-
er in person or by attorney, it shall be the
duty of the assignee so to determine. In case
a dividend is ordered,tiie Register shall, with—
in teu days after such meeliu , prepare a list
of creditors entitled to divi end, and shall
calculate and set opposite to the name or
each creditor who has proved his claim the
dividend to which he is entitled out of the
net proceeds of the estate set apart for divi-
deud, and shall forward by mail to every
cieditor a statement of the dividend to which
he is entitled, and such creditor shall be paid
by the assignee in such manner as the court
may direct. 7
Section 28 provides that the like proceed-
ings shall be ad at the expiration. of the
next three the, or earlier if practicable,
and a third meeting of the creditors shall then
