SCOTT v. KNIGHT

On an examination, under P. S., c. 201, s. 27, of a person having in his possession assets of an insolvent debtor, the probate court has no authority to make a decree that such person shall deliver the assets to the assignee.

BLODGETT, J.

The probate court had no authority to make the decree. It could do nothing except to take the examination of the person complained of, to serve as a basis for other proceedings, by suit or otherwise, in the proper court. Dodge v. McNeil,

Motion denied.

CHASE, J., did not sit: the others concurred.
