Syllabus

<p>1. Where A. attends conferences of creditors as to the general settlement of the estate of an insolvent debtor, and during this period collects an asset of the insolvent under directions from him to hold the proceeds-until settlement with creditors, and afterwards, at a final conference of creditors, resulting in a general assignment, he signs a statement admitting the claim so collected to be an asset of the insolvent, he is estopped from afterwards denying that fact and setting up his own claim as a set-off. •</p> <p>2. The recital in a- bill brought by an assignee to recover assets which' passed under the assignment, that he is also a creditor of the insolvent' debtor, does not render the bill multifarious.</p>
