Syllabus

<p>1. Bankruptcy (§ 340*) — Claims —Identity of Debtor — Evidence — Sufficiency.</p> <p>On a claim against the estate of a bankrupt for the price of merchandise, evidence held to show that credit was extended to an allied corporation, and not to the bankrupt.</p> <p>[Ed. Note. — For other cases, see Bankruptcy, Cent. Dig. § 527; Dec. Dig. § 340.*]</p> <p>2. Bankruptcy (§ 342%*) — Claims—Objections.</p> <p>Where it appears that a claim against the bankrupt’s estate has been properly disallowed on objections made and conducted by the creditors in their own names, who voluntarily assumed liability for costs and expenses, the order of disallowance will not be disturbed on a theory that the trustee was the only proper person to attack the claim.</p> <p>[Ed. Note. — For other cases, see Bankruptcy, Cent. Dig. § 530; Dee. Dig. § 342%.*]</p> <p>3. Bankruptcy (§ 342%*) — Claims—Objections—Irregularities.</p> <p>An order disallowing a claim against a bankrupt’s estate on objections by creditors after the claim had been allowed will not be disturbed on a theory that a petition for reconsideration and disallowance of the claim should have been filed, where the creditors’ objections were given the effect of such petition.</p> <p>[Ed. Note. — For other cases, see Bankruptcy, Cent. Dig. § 530% ; Dee. Dig. § 342%.*]</p>
