Syllabus

<p>1. Bankruptcy — Concealment of Assets — Discharge.</p> <p>Where, at the time of filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, the bankrupt knew that he had an interest in his grandfather’s estate, and knowingly omitted to list the same in his schedules, for the purpose of concealing it from his creditors, and knowingly made a false oath to such schedules in expectation of receiving a discharge from his debts and afterwards enjoying the property, he was not entitled to discharge.</p> <p>2. Same — Amendment of Schedules.</p> <p>Where a bankrupt knowingly omitted certain assets from his schedules, the fact that he listed the property and amended his schedules after his attempt to conceal such assets, and after the fact that he had made a false oath had been discovered, was insufficient to relieve him of the consequences of such acts and entitle him to a discharge. .</p> <p>IT 1. See Bankruptcy, vol. 6, Cent. Dig. §§ 733, 735.</p>
