Generally.

time application is presented to him. Bowie v. Jones, 1 Gill, 208.

Fact that a deed in the nature of a mortgage provides for payment of debts
barred by a discharge in insolvency, does not render such deed fraudulent in fact.
Wilson v. Russell, 13 Md. 528.

An agreement by petitioning creditors that they will not object to insolvent's
discharge can have no effect on other creditors. Gottschalk v. Smith, 74 Md. 564.

The policy of the insolvent laws with reference to a discharge. Baylies v.
Ellicott, 9 Gill, 454.

For cases apparently now inapplicable to this section because of changes in the
law, see Relief Bldg. Assn. v. Schmidt, 55 Md. 99; State v. Reaney, 13 Md. 238;
Glenn v. Karthaus, 4 G. & J. 392; Haddens v. Chambers, 2 Dall. 236.

Cited but not construed in Becker v. Whitehill, 55 Md. 574.

other person who may be liable as endorser, surety or otherwise.

7. No person shall be released or discharged under this article who
has conveyed, concealed or disposed of his property to defraud or delay
his creditors, or prevent the same from being applied to the payment of his
debts, or who has, within one year of the time of filing his petition, by the
conveyance or assignment of his property, or debts or claims, or payment
of money, given an undue and improper preference to any of his creditors.

Although the court has denied an insolvent the benefit of a discharge, such de-
termination is not an adjudication in rem, and does not of itself set aside a con-
veyance as fraudulent, nor is it evidence in a case to the latter end. Syester v.
Brewer, 27 Md. 313.

Failure of applicant to file a schedule does not rescind appointment of the trus-
tee, but does debar the applicant from a discharge. Teackle v. Crosby, 14 Md. 20.

section, it is duty of court to have issues framed. Jaeger v. Requardt, 25 Md. 241.

This section relates rally to cases of insolvency. Triebert v. Burgess, 11 Md. 462.
