Roath, but that said efforts were unavailing and said Controller was thereafter ordered and required by the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of California, Central Division, in the Matter of Marshall Roath, Bankrupt, No. 35,760-C, to turn over to Hubert F. Laugharn, as trustee in bankruptcy of said estate, all property both real and personal theretofore seized or levied upon by him and it was further ordered by said Court that all of such assets be administered in the above entitled estate under and in accordance with the terms of the National Bankruptcy Act. “That said Controller in seizing said assets, as aforesaid and in advertising the same for sale as authorized by said Act incurred costs and expenses in the amount of $2,262.60, no part of which has been repaid to plaintiff. That pursuant to the provisions of said Act there is now due and owing from defendant Marshall B. Roath to plaintiff, in addition to all other amounts herein mentioned, the said sum of $2,262.60.””
