Before COLT and PUTNAM, Circuit Judges, and ALDRICH, District Judge.
This is an appeal from a decree in bankruptcy cutting down a proof of claim offered by the appellants. The appellants are testamentary trustees, owning lands and buildings which were leased to the French Carriage Company, of which Soliday, the appellee, is trustee in bankruptcy. The petition in bankruptcy was involuntary, and was filed on November 19 1909, with an adjudication on December 6, 1909. The letting of the premises was by an indenture under seal, which was to expire on December 31, 1910. The proof covered all rent in arrears, and also the equivalent of the rent for the unexpired time to the end of the lease. A credit was given for payment by the receiver in bankruptcy during his occupancy, leaving the balance of the claim as proved $14,265.29. On the rehearing of the proof, the referee reduced it to $3,102, which ruling of the referee was sustained by the District Court. Thereupon appeal was taken to us.
