2. ““It is plain that the bankrupt’s former partner cannot be allowed to prove in this case. To permit him to do so would permit him to compete with his own creditors. * * * There are joint creditors in this case who have proved, and, until the claims of the joint creditors are settled, Brown cannot share in the distribution of his former partner’s estate. * * * There is nothing in section 5g of the act. to change this well-established rule.””
