1Opinion of the Court
BROWN, District Judge.
The bankrupt’s examination satisfies me that lie has not: dealt honestly, and has not meant to deal honestly by his creditors; that he knew the business at Lexington avenue was his own and not his wife’s; and that his statements as to assets in his schedules were untrue, and that he knew them to be untrue. I can give no encouragement to such practices because they are small, but must consider them equally fatal in large and small cases alike. Discharge refused.
