Burrall v. Rice
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Burrall v. Rice, 71 Mass. 539 (Mass. 1855)
Burrall v. Rice
Opinion of the Court
The contract was made in Massachusetts, to be executed in Massachusetts, and indorsed to a New York plaintiff afterwards. That the defendant’s discharge under the insolvent law is a good bar, is settled by the recent case of Scribner v. Fisher, 2 Gray, 43.
Judgment for the defendant.
A similar decision was made in Suffolk, March term 1855, upon similar pleadings, in the case of Laban Capron vs. Samuel S. Johnson, which was an action on a promissory note made at Salem by the defendant, a citizen of this commonwealth, and payable “at the Salem Bank” to the plaintiff, a citizen of New York.
J. H. Wakefield, for the plaintiff.
O. P. Lord, for the defendant.
