Syllabus

<p>Insolvency — Federal Bankruptcy Act — State Laws Not Suspended. The federal bankruptcy law, approved July 1, 1898, did not supersede or suspend the state insolvency law, in existence at that time, where no proceedings in bankruptcy were instituted.</p> <p>Assignment Fob Creditors — Judgment Outside Insolvency Proceedings — Enforcement—Supplemental Proceedings. An assignment for the benefit of creditors, not objected to, discharges the debtor, and may be set up to defeat supplemental proceedings upon a judgment obtained by a creditor pending the insolvency proceedings.</p> <p>Same — -Statutes—Title. Section IS of the insolvency act [Laws 1890, p. 88] entitled “An act to secure creditors a just division of the estate of debtors who conveyed to assignee for the benefit of creditors,” is not unconstitutional as embracing more than one subject; since it embraces but one subject, which is sufficiently expressed in the title.</p>
