Nolte v. Their Creditors
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of court. The syndics having filed an amended tableau of distribution of the proceeds of a cotton press establishment, Beckman opposed homologation, urging that over and above the sum for which he is therein placed, he is a creditor of the insolvent for $1307 50,
