This was an action by the trustee in bankruptcy of Julius M. Erlenborn to recover from the defendant in the court below the amount of an alleged preference received by it as a creditor of the bankrupt. There was a trial of the issues to a jury in the court below, a verdict for the' plaintiff, judgment on the verdict, and to reverse this judgment defendant has appealed to this court.
This case, with the companion case of Hackney v. Hargreaves Brothers, is before the court for review a fifth time. A full statement of the issues involved in the controversy is contained in our former opinions. See Hackney v. Raymond Bros. Clarke Co., 68 Neb. 624; Hackney v. Hargreaves Bros., 3 Neb. (Unof.) 676, and the opinion on rehearing of the two cases by Holcomb, C. J., in 68 Neb.-633, and the recent decision in Hargreaves Bros. v. Hackney, 74 Neb. 700. In these opinions the law of the case has been fully determined, and the fact that the preference was illegal under the provisions of the national bankruptcy law is settled. The instructions complained of in the instant case are of the same nature and effect as those
We therefore recommend that the judgment of the district court be affirmed.
By the Court: For the reasons given in the foregoing opinion, the judgment of the district court is
Affirmed.
