by John Marshall Harlan, Ames v. Moir — Opinion of the Court
“ It is the settled doctrine of this court that 'fraud' in the act of congress defining the debts from which a bankrupt is not relieved by a discharge in bankruptcy means 'positive fraud, or fraud in fact, involving moral turpitude or intentional wrong, as does embezzlement, and not implied fraud, or fraud in law, which may exist without the imputation of bad faith or immorality.' Neal v. ”
by John Marshall Harlan, Ames v. Moir — Opinion of the Court
“ The only question for the determination of this court is whether Ames' discharge in bankruptcy was a bar to the present action; and that question depends upon the inquiry whether the defendant is sued on account of a debt created by fraud, within the meaning of the bankruptcy act. ”
