19 F.2d 518 | 8th Cir. | 1927
This appeal is brought to review a decision of the trial court granting an order of discharge in bankruptcy. On a hearing before the referee, many of the specifications of objections filed were' denied. However, on some it was recommended the discharge prayed should be denied.
At the outset the question of the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court to entertain the proceedings was raised and ruled in favor of jurisdiction. As the home and family of the bankrupt was at Green Bay, in the state of Wisconsin, and his employment only was and had been for some two years next preceding bankruptcy in the state of Iowa, we are inclined to the opinion the holding of jurisdiction was proper and right.
Coming now to the specification of objections to granting the discharge prayed, it is seen the referee found specifically from the proofs taken before and considered by him, as follows:
“This special master is of the opinion that the amounts on deposit at the Union Trust & Savings Bank and also at the Iowa Trust & Savings Bank should have been included in the schedules of the bankrupt, and that said amounts were 'knowingly and fraudulently omitted, and that the specifications of objections in respect to said ground of objection have been sustained.”
We are therefore convinced the order granting the discharge should be set aside.
