Syllabus

<p>Attachment. Bankrwptey. Claimant. Pleading.</p> <p>The claimants of property, seized under an attachment issued within four months of the debtor’s adjudication as a bankrupt, cannot, .on mere motion to that end, secure the delivery of the property to them, on the theory that the title was not in the debtor, but in his trustee in bankruptcy, and the plaintiff could not, therefore, show that the goods were subject to the attachment. There is privity of estate between the debtor and his trustee, and the cause must be disposed of on appropriate pleadings.</p>
