delivered the opinion of the court.
The assignee acquired his title to the movable proper found on the demised premises, subject to the rights of al other persons. * The rent in question was for a period which terminated when the assignee took possession, and the entire period was within a year of that time. Before the commencement of the proceedings in bankruptcy, the defendants in error might have distrained; and it is agreed that the property upon the premises was more than sufficient to satisfy the demand. The statute of Pennsylvania, of June *577 16tb, 1886, provides that where property under such circumstances is seized and sold under execution, the rent due for a period not exceeding one year shall be paid first out of the pi cecds of the sale. This case is within the equity of that tute. * The question presented is one belonging to the J law of Pennsylvania. We think it was correctly decided the Circuit Court.
Judgment affirmed.
