Bentley v. Young
Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York. This cause comes here on appeal from a decree of the District Court, Southern District of New York, setting aside a sale of the entire stock of Israel Kruger, bankrupt, as null and void as against creditors, and adjudging defendants to pay $2,500 to the trustee as the value of the goods thus disposed of. The opinion of the District Judge will be found in 210 Fed. 202.

The purchase was made with money advanced to Henry Young by his father, John Young, an auctioneer, to whose place of business the goods were sent, and who sold them at auction. That the sale, so far as the bankrupt is concerned, was fraudulent is undisputed. The sole question is as to the good faith of defendants.
