Boyd v. Rockport Steam Cotton Mills

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Boyd v. Rockport Steam Cotton Mills, 73 Mass. 406 (Mass. 1856)

Boyd v. Rockport Steam Cotton Mills

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

The assignment to the Providence Bank was • not perfected. To treat the signature of James on the blank form of transfer as a power to make a transfer is to give to it its utmost legal effect. As such, it was a power not executed.

The assignment made by James to Freize was invalid as against an attaching creditor in this state; being in direct contravention of the policy of our laws. Defendants defaulted.
