151 F. 951 | E.D.N.Y | 1907
The attorneys for the petitioning creditors in this proceeding objected to the granting of the discharge and have filed certain specifications, which have been referred to the referee in bankruptcy. He has made a report to the effect “that the specifications have not been sustained, and that the discharge of the bankrupt should be granted.” .'V motion now comes on for the confirmation of that report and the formal discharge.
The bankrupt shows a plain desire to be discharged of his debts, and an indifference to the claims of his creditors prior to the filing of his petition. He also shows a willingness to carry on substantially the same sort of business which he claims was unprofitable, and is now proceeding as a clerk, acting for a corporation, and transacting tlie business of that corporation in much the same manner as he conducted his own establishment before the bankruptcy. The objections to the discharge were, substantially, that the bankrupt had not consistently written up such books as he did keep until the time of filing his petition, that certain articles of office furniture were claimed by his wife, as was aiso a house which had been purchased several years before the bankruptcy, and that neither he nor his wife and the other witnesses entirely corroborated each other as to many of the details of their business relations. But there is nothing to show that the continuance of the books by the bankrupt would have disclosed any sub
The application overruling the objections and confirming the referee’s report and granting the discharge in bankruptcy will be granted.
