INSOLVENTS 2037

Where a distribution of an insolvent estate is improperly attempted in equity and
the claim of a creditor is disallowed, he may appeal from such order and the same
will be reversed on the ground of lack of jurisdiction. Pierson v. Trail, 1 Md. 143.

This section applied. Paul v. Locust Point Co., 70 Md. 291.

No appeal lies from an order overruling a demurrer to a petition in involuntary
insolvency, and requiring the defendant to answer. The right of appeal as affected
by the policy of insolvent laws. Tawes v. Tyler, 71 Md. 507.

No appeal lies from the refusal of court to grant a rule on insolvent trustee requiring
him to show cause why his appointment should not be revoked. (This case was decided
prior to adoption of sec. 33, and the opinion does not show the ground of the decision.)
Chase v. Glenn, 1 H. & G. 161.

Generally.

An appeal not taken within thirty days will be dismissed. Spark's Appeal, 18 Md. 418.

While the appeal must be taken within thirty days, the bond may be filed thereafter.
Willis v. Wright, 22 Md. 378.

For a case involving question of whether record was transmitted in time, and of
whose fault the delay was, see Glenn v. Chesapeake Bank, 3 Md. 478.

This section held to have no application, the appeal being from a court of equity.
Cross v. Becker, 75 Md. 575.

Formerly no appeal lay from the action of the insolvent court. Carter v. Dennison,
7 Gill, 170; Williams v. Williams, 5 Gill, 89.

For a case apparently no longer applicable to this section by reason of changes in
the law, see Baylies v. Ellicott, 9 Gill, 455.

See art. 5, secs. 8 and 9.

for the equal benefit of all the creditors of said grantor or grantors without

grantor or grantors in said deed of conveyance may apply for the benefit
of or be proceeded against under the provisions of this article after the
execution and recording of such deed or conveyance, and notwithstanding
such grantor or grantors may apply to be proceeded against under the pro-
visions of this article, the trustee or trustees named in such deed or con-

the part of, the preliminary or permanent trustee in insolvency of such
