¶1Bankruptcy (§ 226*) — Report op Referee — Recommendations.

¶2Where any matter is referred to a referee in bankruptcy to find the facts, it is proper for him in his report to state his conclusions on the facts found.

¶3[Ed. Note. — For other cases, see Bankruptcy, Dec. Dig. § 226.*]

¶4In Bankruptcy. In the matter of Hyman Baker, bankrupt. On motion to strike out referee’s recommendation.

¶5Motion denied.

¶6Thomas H. Sullivan, of Worcester, Mass., for bankrupt.

¶7Friedman & Atherton, of Boston, Mass., for objecting creditor.

¶9MORTON, District Judge.

¶10Whether a master, to whom a matter is referred to find the facts, should state his conclusions upon the case, is a question upon which, in the superior court at least, there has been a difference of opinion among the judges. It seems to me proper and' helpful for the master to do so; and I understand this to be the usual practice in all bankruptcy matters referred to referees.

¶11Motion to strike out denied.
