In re Metzger, 17 F. Cas. 231, 2 Nat. Bank. Reg. 355 (N.D.N.Y. 1868).
Opinion
The position assumed by the assignee was the proper one; he represented the whole body of creditors, and it was his right and duty to contest the validity of any mortgage by which one creditor had obtained a preference over the others, the whole object of the bankrupt law [of 1867 (14 Stat. 517)] being to compel an equal distribution of the failing debtor’s property among all his creditors.
