¶1The power of the court below to open plaintiff’s default being beyond question, the only question to be considered is whether defendants’ motion to cancel the judgment on the ground of their discharge in bankruptcy was properly denied. The plaintiff claimed that the judg*330ment should not be cancelled because his address was given in the bankruptcy schedules as “ unknown.” This does not per se invalidate the discharge. But the plaintiff further showed that although made aware of the address of plaintiff’s attorney by the summons and complaint and the judgment record, the defendants failed to inquire of him as to the address of his client; that they made no effort whatever to ascertain said address; that presumably they scheduled said address as “ unknown ” for the purpose of evading their duty to give notice, and that in fact no notice of the bankruptcy proceedings was sent to the plaintiff directly or in care of said attorney. Upon all the facts presented, the court was justified in finding that the debt had not been duly scheduled within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Act, and that for such reason defendants’ motion should not prevail. While it is true that the provisions of section 1268 of the Code of Civil Procedure are mandatory in requiring the court to discharge a judgment when proper proof of the discharge of the debt is presented, yet the provisions of the Bankruptcy Act must be shown to have been complied with, and where it is shown that the debt has not been duly scheduled, the court may refuse to cancel the judgment, for the Bankruptcy Act expressly excepts from the operation of a discharge such debts as have not been scheduled in time for proof and allowance with thé name of the creditor, etc. See Sutherland v. Lasher, 41 Misc. Rep. 249, affd., 87 App. Div. 633; Tyrrel v. Hammerstein, 33 Misc. Rep. 505; Columbia Bank v. Birkett, 174 N. Y. 112.
¶2So far as there is any conflict of fact in the affidavits used on the motion, the court below has presumably passed upon the same and there is nothing in the record to justify this court in adopting a different conclusion.
¶3The order should be affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.
