Shoemaker v. Keely , 2 U.S. 213 ( 1793 )

2 U.S. 213 (____) 2 Dall. 213

SHOEMAKER, Assignee
versus
KEELY.

Supreme Court of United States.

The defendant's Counsel (Rawle), observed.

The plaintiff's Counsel (M. Levy) answered.

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.
