District Court, D. Massachusetts January 23, 1878, Case No. 4,588 (In re Ewing)

LOWELL, District Judge.

I find the facts to be truly set forth in the petition. The creditors were deceived when they were given to understand that fresh capital had been paid in as provided for in the resolutions for composition. There is, however, no evidence that Mr. Leslie, the retired partner, had any privity with or knowledge of the fraud.
