Trimble v. More

The Superior Court of New York City · decided 1881-05-02

By the affidavits, it was shown that defendant, More, -filed an individual petition in bankruptcy, and obtained his discharge. It also appeared that the judgment in the action was against the defendants jointly, on a note given by them as a firm, and that at the time of the petition in bankruptcy, that firm had a large amount of assets. The motion was denied.

Decided 1881-05-02

By the Court.—Sedgwick, Ch. J.

¶1The case of Crompton v. Conkling (15 Nat. Bankr. Reg. 417), requires us to hold that, in a case like the present, the individual discharged in a proceeding begun, carried on, and ended by him solely, is not relieved, by force of his discharge, from the partnership debts.

¶2Order affirmed, with $10 costs, disbursements to be taxed by the clerk.

¶3Truax, J., concurred.
