Ullman v. Coppard
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
In Error to the District Court of the United States for the Western District of Texas; Duval West, Judge. Suit by M. Coppard, trustee in bankruptcy of the estate of the Ains-worth Mercantile Company, against Ullman, Stern & Krausse. There was a judgment for plaintiff, and defendant brings error.
1Opinion of the Court
FOSTER, District Judge.
The only question presented in this case is whether the judgment of the referee, disallowing, on the objections interposed by the trustee in bankruptcy, a claim against the bankrupt estate by plaintiff in error, on the ground that the creditor had received a preference, constituted res adjudicata on the question of preference, and was admissible in evidence in a subsequent suit by the trustee to recover the preference. The District Court affirmatively so ruled, and with this we concur.
Affirmed.
