Upon reading and considering the foregoing certificate, together with the opinion of the register thereon, and of the brief submitted therewith, it is my opinion that the conclusions of the register upon the points of law therein stated are correct and in accordance with the provisions of the bankrupt act, and so far as this decision is in conflict with rule 17 (in bankruptcy) of the district court of California, it is to be regarded as the rule of this court in the future, by which registers are to be guided. The clerk will certify this decision to the register, Asher B. Bates, Esq.
