Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit May 7, 1946, No. 9012 (In re Stineman)

lead-opinion

BIGGS, Circuit Judge.

The appeal at bar presents an anomaly in the administration of the Bankruptcy Act. The facts are as follows. On June 10, 1926 Harvey C. Stineman was adjudicated a bankrupt upon a voluntary petition and the case was referred to a referee. Among the principle assets of the estate was an undivided one-sixth interest in a large acreage of valuable coal lands.
