1. “‘'Under section 21b a question of law only is taken to tbe Circuit Court of Appeals; under the appeal section, controversies of fact as well are taken to that court, with findings of fact to be made therein if the case is appealable to tills court. We do not think it was intended to give to persons, who could avail themselves of the remedy by appeal under section 25, a review by Iiefition under section 24b. The object of section 24b is rather to give a review as to matters of law, where the facts are not in controversy, or otfders of courts of bankruptcy in the ordinary administration of tbe bankrupt’s estaie.””
