1Opinion of the Court
POLITZ, Circuit Judge:
These cases were consolidated on appeal because both concern, inter alia, the constitutionality of § 17(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Act of 1898, codified in 11 U.S.C. § 35(a)(7), which was modified and replaced subsequent to this suit by the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(5). In each case the district court affirmed findings by the bankruptcy judge that the debts involved were non-dischargeable alimony obligations. For the reasons assigned, we affirm the decision of the district court in each case.
