Berghaus v. Alter
Berghaus v. Alter
5 Pa. 507
Berghaus v. Alter
Opinion of the Court
The 13th section of the bankrupt law declares that the proceedings shall be deemed matters of record; but it directs that they shall not be recorded at large, and that a docket or short memorandum of them he kept. This memorandum being the recording prescribed by the act, is consequently to be the documentary evidence of them, and as such a memorandum was presented here, it ought to have been received.
Judgment reversed, and a venire de novo awarded.
