Scott v. Wise

decided, upon general demurrer, that an assignment of a prison-bounds bond by the deputy-marshal, in the name of the chief marshal, was a good assignment. The assignment, on oyer, appeared to be signed “R. Moss, Deputy-Marshal, for D. C. Brent, Marshal of the District of Columbia.” See Virginia law of 24th November, 1792 (page 119, ■§ 2).
