Court | U.S. District Court — District of Connecticut |
David Strouse, for trustee in bankruptcy.
Edgar M. Warner, for claimant, Woonsocket Napping Mach. Co.
This is an appeal from a decision of the referee denying the application of the Woonsocket Napping Machine Company for the delivery of a certain napping machine. Said machine was sold in Rhode Island, and shipped to Connecticut, the freight being paid by the purchaser, now bankrupt, under a written agreement, signed by said purchaser, which provided that the machine should remain the property of the vendor until paid for. The agreement was made in Rhode Island, where such an agreement need not be recorded, and provided that the machine should be shipped to Connecticut, where such agreements must be acknowledged and recorded in order to be valid against third parties. The Connecticut statute of 1895 (chapter 212) is as follows:
There is due on said machine $308 under said contract. Counsel for the Woonsocket Napping Machine Company claims that the trustee in bankruptcy takes only the title of the bankrupt, and that the contract was complete in the state of Rhode Island, where the agreement of sale was executed. In support of the first proposition he relies upon the decision of the referee in the Case of George W. McKay, in the district court for the Northern district of Ohio. The decision of the referee on said point was as follows:
