Syllabus

<p>Involuntaey Insolvency—Jurisdiction—Amended Petition—Insufficient Verification—Payment of One Ceeditob.—The court obtains jurisdiction of proceedings in involuntary insolvency by virtue of the five original petitioning creditors. An amended petition must be verified by three of the creditors who presented the original petition, and a verification thereof by a new creditor not a party to the original petition is insufficient. Where one of the original creditors has been paid, and only four creditors present a second amended petition, the court has no jurisdiction thereof.</p>
