Supreme Court of Georgia July 15, 1871, No. 1; No. 2; (Woolfolk v. Murray)

McCay, Judge.

1. Very clearly, the rights of the bankrupt to an exemption, or rather the quantity of his property that he is permitted to hold exempt from the claims of the assignee, is to be determined by the bankrupt law and the Bankrupt Court. The jurisdiction of the United States over the subject of bankruptcy, is plenary: Constitution United States, Article I., section 8, paragraph 4.
