1Opinion of the CourtJustice Lamar

This conflict of jurisdiction, between state court and Bankruptcy Court, with injunction and counter-injunction, grew out of a controversy as to who was in possession of a crop of rice, when Moore & Bridgeman, who had planted it, filed their petition on July 16, 1906, to be adjudged bankrupts. If the rice was then in their possession the Bankruptcy Court had j urisdiction to administer it as assets of the estate,' and to determine all claims to the property. Babbitt v. Dutcher, 216 U.
