In re Young
In re Young
Opinion of the Court
was inclinen to the opinion, that the objection could not prevent a decree as to all the other creditors, and whether there should be an exception of this debt, in the decree for the discharge, or in the certificate itself, it was not necessary now to determine. When the case. comes up for that decree and certificate, the court will then decide whether there shall or not be an exception of this debt, or whether the decree and certificate shall pass in common form, leaving the question to be decided when a suit may be brought on this demand, as to the effect of the discharge upon this debt. The court entertains no doubt, as to the rights of the objector, and although the first decree may pass, these rights will not be prejudiced. The question will be kept open until the next appearance, giving either party opportunity further to discuss the matter. Before dismissing the ease, however, it may not be improper to remark, that if the act, after the provisions of.the first section had been silent, as to this matter, the objector would have had a very strong argument against any decree, where there was outstanding a fiduciary debt. The words of the first section are, “all persons whatsoever, owing debts which shall not have been created in consequence of a defalcation as a public officer, or as executor, administrator, guardian, or trustee, or while acting in any other fiduciary capacity, who shall, &c.” The objection in the present case is doubtless-indicated by this general language, construed as it is in the first section
