Citations
- 80 Ill. 304
Syllabus
<p>1. Bankruptcy—debt contracted through fraud not discharged. If goods are sold for cash on delivery, and the purchaser obtains their possession without payment, and immediately ships them beyond the reach of the seller and then refuses to pay, his conduct may be regarded as fraud in the creation of the debt, as contemplated by the 23d section of the Bankrupt Act, and his discharge will not release him.</p> <p>2. Same—new promise to pay. If a debtor, after his discharge in bankruptcy, makes a new promise to pay the debt, then his discharge will not preclude a recovery.</p>
