The law which protects farmers from having their property sold at auction when they are unable to meet their debts is as valid for Jews as it is for Aryans, the Marburg County Court ruled yesterday.

The rule annuls a decision made by a lower court, which issued a verdict permitting the auctioning of property belonging to a Jewish woman farmer, indicating at the same time that the law was applicable to Aryans only.

In annulling the verdict of the lower court the County Court stated that since the law did not distinctly state that the Aryan clause was to be applied to Jews in such cases, the verdict was unjust and the Jewess was entitled to equal treatment.
