Syllabus

<p>1. Bankruptcy.—Title to land owned by the bankrupt at the time of the adjudication of bankruptcy against him passes to the assignee for the purposes of the trust, though not scheduled, as effectually as though it had been.</p> <p>2. Same.— Land thus owned, and not scheduled as part of the bankrupt’s estate, if not disposed of by the assignee in bankruptcy, remains after the termination of proceedings in bankruptcy the property of the bankrupt or of bis heirs.</p> <p>3. Same.— The mere omission to schedule such property constitutes no ground either in law or equity for denying to the heirs of the bankrupt the benefit of their title on the termination of proceedings in bankruptcy, as against parties who show no other ground of attack than the failure to schedule it.</p>
