Shoemaker v. Keely
2 U.S. 213 | SCOTUS | 1793
SHOEMAKER, Assignee
versus
KEELY.
Supreme Court of United States.
The defendant's Counsel (Rawle), observed.
The plaintiff's Counsel (M. Levy) answered.
*214 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.
