Adjudication under section 12, Act 1874 [18 Stat. 182], when petition filed before act.

[In the matter of William N. Taylor & Co., bankrupts.]

A petition for adjudication was filed in this case previous to the passage of the amendments of June 22, 1874. An adjudication was not had, however, thereon, until subsequent thereto, section 12 of said amendment being retrospective. A petition signed by the requisite amount in number and value of their creditors was filed, praying the court to make such order of confirmation or adjudication as would validate such proceedings.

Mr. Cleeman, for petitioning creditors.

THE COURT vacated the warrant heretofore issued, and newly adjudged said firm bankrupts, and ordered the issuing of a new order of adjudication.
