Syllabus

<p>After an assignee in bankruptcy, aided by a creditor, has Uyice- contested before the District Court or its referee the claim of a person who has been allowed to prove his claim, and, after all the evidence which could then or afterwards be produced, it has been twice decided that the claim was a valid one, no bill lies in the Circuit Court (either under the general provisions of the Bankrupt Act or under the second section of it, giving to the Circuit Court a general superintendence and jurisdiction of all cases and questions arising undfer the act) against either the assignee or the person who has beep allowed to prove his claim, to have-the order allowing it reversed. Such a bill may be demurred to for want of equity.</p>
