“ To illustrate, let us take the instance of a provisional attachment of real property, which the creditor is not entitled to enforce unless he sustains the demand which is the subject of the principal suit; and let us suppose that the debtor defends against the demand, and that the suit is pending and undetermined four months after the levy. Of course, an adjudication in bankruptcy upon a petition filed thereafter would not disturb the attachment. ”

“ Only through the combination of the three elements is the act of bankruptcy committed. Insolvency alone does not suffice, nor is it enough that it be coupled with suffering or permitting a creditor to obtain a preference by legal proceedings. ”

“ When one speaks of a sale or final disposition of property, he means by final disposition an act having substantially the effect of a sale,-a transfer of ownership and control from one to another,-and especially is this true when he is referring to a sale or final disposition in the enforcement of a lien. ”
