11 F. Cas. 152

In re Hafer

U.S. District Court

Decided March 17, 1868

U.S. District Court · decided 1868-03-17

In bankruptcy. The assignee in his certificate of exempted property set apart the separate property of the bankrupts [James H. Hafer and brothers], but refused to allow them any part of the partnership assets.

Decided 1868-03-17

CADWALADER, District Judge.

¶1As I un•derstand this case, all the separate property of each bankrupt has been allowed to him as exempted. The state exemption laws have been decided by the state courts not to apply to partnership property; and the words of the act of congress manifestly refer only to separate property of the debtor. The exceptions are overruled.
