NJ Judge WELLS of the q. S. District Court
for Missouri, following in the wake OF Mr. Thomas
n. Bentoa, has decided the I. S. Bankrupt Law
auconst;tutional, so far it provides for Volun-
,ary Bankruptcy. We hear that this decision was
made against the unanimous voice of the Bar OF
his Court The grounds assumed are that, when
the Federal Constitution was formed, compulsory
Rankrup,cy was alone known TO the Engl1s& law,
and thai this alone must have been intended "a
cavi! which was annihilatcd by Mr.. Webster five
wears ago. The enec, of this decision is of course
20 deny certificates of discharge to all applicants
in that Court until the question can be reviewed
by the Supreme Court at Washington next winter
OF the result there, we think there can be no
doubt.
