In re Philadelphia Axle Works , 19 F. Cas. 494 ( 1874 )

THE COURT

held — 1. That a creditor, having once joined in the petition, cannot withdraw.

2. That it was not necessary for each creditor joining in the petition to file the proof of his debt; it was required only of the first five signers to do so.

3. That in the computation as to the requisite proportion in number, all creditors under $250 are to be excluded.

Order of adjudication.
