No. 2207
UNITED STATES
CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
For the Ninth Circuit
- WILLIAMSON, Trustee in Bankruptcy of tlie
Estate of George M. Ikeda, Bankrupt,
Petitioner,
vs.
- KICHARDSON,
Respondent.
PETITIONER'S POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
IN REPLY.
The respondent takes the position, and contends :
- That the trustee in bankruptcy stands in the
shoes of the bankrupt and can assert no right nor
interpose any defense which would not be available
to the bankrupt himself.
- That the respondent had a lien, as between
Ikeda and himself, on all the hops.
- That except in cases of fraud, etc., the estate
of a bankrupt is brought into court and appropriated
in the same plight and condition that the bankrupt
himself held it, and subject to all the equities im-
posed upon it in his hands.
- That the trustee takes no title and has no
right which the bankrupt himself could not assert;
that he takes only such title as the bankrupt could
have transferred without consideration.
