2. ““I think, also, that the facts concerning the payments to the Tradesmen’s National Bank should be set out more specifically. As the petition stands, no amount is named, nor is it even averred, except by inference, that the payments were made upon the bankrupt’s promissory notes, to say nothing of the vagueness of the reference to ‘the indorsers and makers of promissory notes held by said bank,’ whom the bankrupt is charged with intending to prefer.””
