The question raised by the agreed facts is not one of jurisdiction, but of title. The plaintiff's action is not one of replevin, but of trover. It concerns, not the judicial custody or lawful possession of the property in controversy, but only the trial of the title to it. The jurisdiction conferred on the federal courts in actions of this character between trustees in bankruptcy and strangers to the bankruptcy proceedings is not exclusive, but, on the contrary, it is well settled that in all questions of title to property derived through such proceedings the state courts have concurrent jurisdiction.
