Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, 1843

Caldcleugh v. Carey

Caldcleugh v. Carey
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided March 15, 1843
5 Watts & Serg. 155

Caldcleugh v. Carey

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The principle of this case was settled in M’Clure v. Foreman, (4 Watts éf Serg. 280), where it was held that one discharge serves for all. In the case at bar, the arrest in the county of the debtor’s residence was prior, in point of time, and the discharge from it preferable, in point of effect, to a discharge from an arrest abroad. A second discharge, therefore, would have been nugatory.

Judgment affirmed.
