2 U.S. 213
SCOTUS

By the Court:

—It is plain, that the action, in its present form, cannot be supported. Under the act of Assembly, nothing but debts are assigned, or assignable; and torts must be considered as the mere personal concern of the bankrupt.

Let Judgment be entered for the defendant.
