This was an issue certified to the court upon an exception to the ruling of the register (Davis). The bankrupt applied to the assignee for the exemption provided for in the 14th section of the bankrupt act. The assignee refused to allow the exemption on the ground that the bankrupt had not yet made a satisfactory surrender of his property.
