In re Comstock

6 F. Cas. 241, 1 N.Y. Leg. Obs. 326

District Court, S.D. New York·Decided July 1, 1843·Published

Opinion

BETTS, District Judge.

However desirable it may be that this conveniency should, be allowed a bankrupt and his family, I do not think it one of those things contemplated by the act, and which the assignee may be compelled to set apart. It is no more than desirable and convenient, and cannot be ranked with the articles classed by congress as necessaries. The other articles should be ejusdem generis as to utility to the family. This exception cannot be supported, and is overruled.
