Trustee Andrews Petition Dismissed In Bankruptcy Court
Justice Anderson dismissed Mrs. Eliza Andrews petition seeking to compel trustee H. Roziér Dulany to pay taxes on lands renounced by the bankrupt estate of Thomas E. Waggaman. Rents from improvements were deemed assets for creditors, and tax obligations were held to run with the land rather than as personal claims against the bankrupt. Petitioner must pursue relief as a general creditor if sale proceeds are insufficient, and taxes are enforceable only against the land, not the individual.
