2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. In re Fixen & Co. · In re Hammond““The thirty-ninth section of that act (March 2, 18G7) declared, In substance, that if one who was insolvent, or in contemplation of insolvency, should make any gift, grant, sale, conveyance, or transfer of his property, with intent by such disposition thereof to defeat or delay the operation of the act, he should be deemed to have committed an act of bankruptcy; and it was repeatedly held that a general assignment by an insolvent debtor for the equal benefit of all his creditors was an act of bankruptcy, within the meaning of this provision, because of its tendency to defeat or delay the operation of the act by providing a different method of administration than that contemplated by the act, and that thé same conclusion would have followed, in view of the English decisions construing the English bankruptcy act, from which ours was in part borrowed, even if our act had stopped with the single declaration that conveyance by an insolvent debtor, with intent to delay, defraud, or hinder his creditors should be deemed an act of bankruptcy.””
