In re STARKS-ULLMAN SADDLERY CO.

No. 1,914.

United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.

July 19, 1909


W. V. Eaton, for petitioners.

W. F. Bradshaw, for respondents.

Before LURTON, SEVERENS, and WARRINGTON, Circuit Judges.

LURTON, Circuit Judge.

The petitioners are creditors of the bankrupt, a corporation, engaged in business at Paducah, Ky. The creditors filed claims, which they asserted were liens upon the property of the bankrupt, which have been disallowed. The claim of lien is based upon section 2487, Ky.

The bankrupt, while engaged in the business of manufacturing harness, bridles, and other horse leather goods, was also doing business as a jobber in the same line of goods; that is, bought harness, saddles, and other horse leather goods, in a manufactured condition, and sold such goods in the condition they were bought. The claim of the petitioning creditors is exclusively for such manufactured articles, and the petitions aver that the goods so sold to the bankrupt by them were used [171 F. 835.] in the jobbing branch of the business.

Judge Evans was of opinion that the petitioners had not furnished 'materials and supplies,' within the plain and obvious meaning of the Kentucky Statute, and were therefore not entitled to have their claims allowed as liens. To this...
