Most-quoted passages

1. ““Any tendency to multe tlie bankrupt ¡let unduly harsh is to be avoided. It is a sufficient ground of opposition to discharge that the bankrupt has obtained property from a creditor by a materially false statement in writing, ■whoro that statement was specifically ashed for hy the creditor or by the creditor’s representative. General statements to mercantile agencies, not specifically asked for by prospective creditors, ought not to be ground of opposition to discharge; it makes the provision too harsh, in the estimation of your committee.””
