Case No. 11,628.

In re REDFIELD.

[1 Ben. 535.]¹

District Court, S. D. New York.

Nov., 1867.

BANKRUPTCY—POOR DEBTOR—GENERAL ORDER NO. 30.

An order, directing that the fees and costs in a bankruptcy case shall not exceed the amount of the bankrupt's deposit, should only be made after a personal examination of the bankrupt.

In this case the bankrupt [Justus S. Bed-field] applied, under general order No. 30, upon an affidavit that he had no means, for an order that the fees and costs should not exceed the amount of the deposit. THE COURT held that, on similar applications, the order should only be made on the personal examination of the bankrupt as to his means.

[Subsequently the court refused the application after the personal examination of the bankrupt. Case No. 11,629.]
