Case No. 17,274.

In re WATSON et al.

[1 Wkly. Notes Cas. 334.]

District Court, E. D. Pennsylvania.

March 31, 1875.

BANKRUPTCY—DELAY IS APPLICATION FOR DISCHARGE—PETITION FOR REVISION.

The bankrupts had heretofore applied for their discharge, under the circumstances reported [Case No. 17,273], and their petition was then referred to the register to report the facts. Vide loc. cit.

The register now reported that he was of opinion that the delay in application of bankrupts for their discharge was sufficiently accounted for to warrant the issuance of the usual orders upon such application; that the issuing of such orders could not prejudice the right of any creditor or person interested to object to the discharge on the ground of delay; and that upon the hearing on said orders the question could be more fully and perhaps more appropriately considered.

THE COURT refused to confirm the report of register, and dismissed the application for leave to file petition, but allowed a petition for revision to be filed in the circuit court. See section 2, Bankrupt Act [of 1867 (14 Stat. 517)].
