US SUPREME COURT DECISIONS

This action by the trustee to recover funds formerly belonging to the bankrupt corporation, not being a suit to avoid a transfer by the bankrupt of its property, but a suit against wrongdoers who had appropriated the bankrupt's property without its assent, is not one within §§ 23b and 70e of the Bankruptcy Act, and the district court properly dismissed the bill for want of jurisdiction.

The facts, which involve the right of a trustee in bankruptcy to recover funds formerly belonging to the bankrupt, are stated in the opinion.
