Judge W. J. Malone of Bristol, counsel for Mr. Hart, team some time had approved of the transfer of the teams, advising | the owner that it was legally made. | Consequently Mr. Bunnell refused to return the outfit to the trustee of the estate. Accompanied by Constable | Downing and Attorney Pierce, Mr. Benzon sought out Mr. Bushnell ves- | terday afternoon and replevined the team. | The case presents some interesting | features and will probably be fought out in court before Mr. Hart's af- fairs are settled. W. J. Hemingway - and H. C. Thompson, two other ereditors of Mr. Hart, received horses and wagons in payment of their bills a short time be- fore Mr. Hart's petition was presented to the courts. Acting on the advice of counsel they subsequently surren- dered them to Mr. Benzon and their | claims are now to be listed with the other liabilities of the bankrupt. While Judge Malone gave the opinion that the bill of sale was made | out In good faith, Mr. Thompson | and Mr. Hemingway having no knowl- | edge that Mr. Hart was about to be- come a bankrupt, other lawyers which the men consulted expressed the opinion that the courts would rule the deal void. They did not beliece the men had a case sufficiently strong to warrant expending the money | necessary to fight it in court and at their suggestion the teams were turned over to the trustee. Both Mr. Thompson d ingway were Mr. Har notes while Mr. Bunnell’'s bill was princi- pally for work which he performed | while in the bankrupt's employ. Nothing has as yet been done by the creditors regarding a settlement of the estate but it is expected that in the near future the livery and truck- ing business which the bankrupt con- ducted will be sold and a partial pay- ment made. It is not believed that the creditors will receive more than a few cents on the dollar for their bills. Mr. Hem- on Masonic Officers Seated. With Past Master Stanley S.
