HAGAR, Of tlie New York Bar, AND THOMAS ALEXANDER, Clerk of t?ie United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and United States Commissioner, ALBANY, N. Y. MATTHEW BENDER & CO. 1910. r 1910 Copyright, 1910, By aiATTHEW BENDER & COMPANY. PREFACE. The object of this work is primarily to furnish bankruptcy practitioners, referees, receivers and trustees with a working col- lection of forms and precedents useful in ordinary practice under tlie Act. Owing to the great diversity of construction, usage and practice in bankruptcy in various parts of the United States, it is not possible, nor would we attempt to furnish a set of forms or precedents which would be acceptable in all jurisdictions, nor to meet the exigencies of every case. The official forms prescribed by the Supreme Court of the United States have been found inade- ipiate to the needs and methods of modern practice, and several have been held by the courts insufficient and demurrable. How- ever, we have retained and included all of the official forms which are still used and found suitable for their purpose in a district where there is a large and complicated bankruptcy business, as e. g. in the Southern District of New York. These forms are des- ignated by the word " Official " under their respective numbers to distinguish them from the other forms which are merely offered as suggestions or precedents derived from long experience in various phases of bankruptcy practice. We have endeavored to obtain, so far as possible, forms which have been passed upon by the courts and stood the test of judicial approval. Many forms have been obtained from other members of the Bar, to whom we acknowledge our great indebtedness. As regards arrangement, it has seemed wise to collect the forms under a system of titles in somewhat logi- cal sequence ; a feature which has not, so far as we know, hereto- fore been attempted in any bankruptcy treatise. The amendments of 1910 have made some radical changes in the law necessitating iii 77S9r,3 Iv PREFACE. certain changes also in the forms, and these changes are indicated or suggested to the pleader. A secondary object we have hoped to obtain is to furnish a concise compendium of decisions and authorities to date in the form of notes appended to the forms, wherever applicable. The Bank- ruptcy Act in complete form as this year amended is also included, with that portion covered by the amendment indicated by italics. Another section is devoted to the General Orders of the Supreme Court in Bankruptcy, with annotations thereon. Finally we have collated and included the local, " Rules in Bankruptcy '' of many of the important centers throughout the country, and this feature should prove a great convenience to practitioners.
