1206 INSOLVENTS. [ART. 47
Schedule.
The failure of the applicant to file a schedule does not rescind the appoint-
ment of the trustee, but does debar the applicant from a discharge. Teackle
v. Crosby, 14 Md. 20.
This section, in connection with sections 2 and 17, makes it evident that
all the insolvent's property, whether mentioned in the schedule or not, save
that excepted in this section, vests in the trustee. Zeigler v. King, 9 Md. 333.
Generally.
Powers of the states to adopt insolvent laws; limitations thereon. Brown
v. Smart, 69 Md. 327; Brown v. Smart, 145 U. S. 454. And see Boyle v. Zach-
arie, 6 Pet. 635.
If a case is within the jurisdiction of the Insolvent court, the latter's judg-
ment cannot be Impeached collaterally in the absence of fraud. The Jursdic-
ton of the insolvent court does not depend upon the petitioner being actually
insolvent. State v. Culler, 18 Md. 432. And see Weaver v. Leiman, 52 Md.
714.
The constitutional right of removal has no application to an insolvent
proceeding or issues framed in pursuance thereof. Bel Air Social, etc., Club
v. State, 74 Md. 300; Trayhern v. Hamill, 53 Md. 90; Michael v. Schroeder, 4
H. & J. 227.
If the facts tend to show that the petitioner has not complied with the
requirements of this section, it is the duty of the court to have pertinent
issues framed. Jaeger v. Requardt, 25 Md. 241.
The insolvent system was not abolished by the clause in the state constitu-
tion doing away with imprisonment for debt. Trail v. Snouffer, 6 Md. 319.
Prior to the adoption of section 28 the insolvent law did not contemplate a
proceeding by or against a co-partnership or Joint debtors, as such. Cator v.
Martin, 57 Md. 401. See also, Pinckney v. Lanahan, 62 Md. 454.
Prior to section 35, married women were not within the contemplation of
this article. Relief Bldg. Assn. v. Schmidt, 55 Md. 97.
For cases apparently now Inapplicable to this section because of changes
in the law, see Kelso v. Stlgar, 75 Md. 396; State v. Reaney, 13 Md. 230; Car-
ter v. Dennison, 7 Gill, 157; Chaplin v. Shoot, 3 H. & McH. 350.
