Certain classes of debts are specifically excepted by the bankrupt acts from the operation of a discharge in bankruptcy. These classes must, therefore, be considered separately. The bankrupt act of 1898 excepts from the operation of the discharge judgments in actions for wilful and malicious injury to the person or property of another. This provision prevents a discharge from barring a judgment for libel,1 or slander,2 or for malicious prosecution,3 or for criminal conversation ;4 for alienating the affections of the husband5 or wife6 of the judgment creditor; for seduction of the judgment creditor's minor daughter ;7 or for the seduction of the judgment creditor herself, recovered under a state statute giving an action therefor.8
