In the matter of Frank A. Vreeland. Application for discharge as insolvent debtor.
Mr. Richard H. Cashion for Debtor.
Mr. Frederick J. Ward for objecting Creditor.
FLANNAGAN, J.: On June 29th, 1921, Peter M. Dalton recovered a judgment in tort against Frank A. Vreeland, in the Orange District Court, in the sum of $211.80 and costs; execution was issued and returned unsatisfied. On September 9, 1921, the debtor was taken into custody on a capias ad satisfaciendum and released on bail on the following day. The debtor now applies to this Court for a discharge as an insolvent debtor under the Act for the Relief of Persons Imprisoned on Civil Process, having filed what he claims is "a just and true account of all his real and personal estate," as provided by Section 6 of the Act.
