Syllabus

<p>Bankruptcy — Discharge — Conveyance to bankrupt’s wife — Execution against wife’s property.</p> <p>1. A bankrupt after his discharge in bankruptcy has no standing to complain against an order of the court refusing to stay a writ of execution issued on a judgment entered against him prior to the bankruptcy proceedings and levied upon real estate which had been conveyed to the bankrupt’s wife prior to the bankruptcy proceedings, since his rights are in no way affected.</p> <p>2. Whether the judgment creditor had any right to proceed as he did in view of the discharge of the bankrupt and whether a sheriff’s sale of the wife’s interest would pass any title in view of the bankruptcy act authorizing the trustee in bankruptcy to recover property fraudulently conveyed by a bankrupt are questions that cannot be raised by the bankrupt.</p>
