District Court, E.D. New York May 15, 1869 (In re Cocks)

BENEDICT, District Judge.

This case raises the question whether a person whose occupation is that of a baker, and who buys flour, which he converts into bread, and then seHs the bread to daily customers, is to be deemed a tradesman, within the meaning of the 29th section of the bankrupt act, and therefore not entitled to a discharge, where it appears that he has kept no books of account whatever.
