OJ' KELLY,
Bankrupt.
(DiBflrict Oourt, D. Kentucky.
June, 1880.)
BANKRUPTCy-PETITION FOR DISCHARGE-FAILURE TO PnOSECUTB.
In Bankruptcy. BARR, D. J. In this case Caleb Kelly filed his petition, to be adjudged a bankrupt, on the second of May, 1878, and was so adjudged on the tenth of May, 1878. He reported some encumbered real estate and a little personal property, but all seems to have been set apart to him under the exemption laws. The bankrupt filed his petition for a discharge February 15, 1879, and at the meeting some of his creditors opposed his discharge, and filed grounds why the discharge should not be granted. No further action seems to have been taken hy the bankrupt. Berry, Jones & Hiter, creditors, who had proven their claims, filed a petition in this court October 8, 1879, asking to be allowed to pursue their legal remedies in the state courts against the bankrupt. This court, on an ex parte hearing of said petition, declined to enter such an order, but directed a rule to be issued against the bankrupt, returnable July 6, 1880, to show cause, if any he had, why he did not prosecute his cause and ask for his discharge. The rule has been returned executed, and still the bankrupt has made no response, nor has he taken any further steps in his cause. I therefore direct the order to be entered: In re Caleb Kelly, Bankrupt.
The bankrupt having failed to prosecute his cause with ,1iligence, and failed to show cause why he does not prosecut&.
