17. Any property or debts not mentioned in the schedule of any insol-
vent may be taken under a fieri facias or attachment, at the suit of any
creditor, except such as may be exempted by law; but nothing in this sec-
tion shall be construed to impair the right and title of the trustee to such
property or claims as provided by this article, but shall only operate to give
the judgment creditor who shall discover such property or claims a pri-
ority, to be paid out of the proceeds thereof.

The first clause of this section means creditors who have obtained judgments
prior to the filing of the petition. Becker v. Whitehill, 55 Md. 574.

This section, in connection with secs. 1 and 2, makes it evident that all the in-
solvent's property whether mentioned in the schedule or not, save that excepted
in sec. 1, vests in the trustee. Zeigler v. King, 9 Md. 333.

While the creditor has a lien, it does not divest the trustee of his title or right of
possession. Waters v. Dashiell, 1 Md. 472.

This section protects creditor who has issued against property not included in
schedule, to the same extent as sec. 11 does those creditors who proceed prior to
petition in insolvency. Manahan v. Sammon, 3 Md. 474.

For case drawing a distinction between rents which were and were not open to
execution or attachment under this section, see Hupe v. Seibert, 4 Gill, 246.
