Description
ERROR to the circuit court of the district of Columbia, sitting at Alexandria, in an action of assumpsit for goods sold and delivered, brought by Oxley, assignee of Thomas Moore, a bankrupt, against the plaintiffs in error. Upon the general issue, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff below for 143 dollars and 33 cents, subject to the opinion of the court upon the following case: Thomas Moore, the bankrupt, carried on the trade and business of a vendue master in copartnership with one Henry Moore, which copartnership was on the 31st of March, 1802, dissolved on the terms that Thomas Moore should collect the balances due to, and pay the debts due from the joint concern as far as the joint property would extend. Thomas Moore carried on the trade and business of a vendue master on his separate account from that time until the 2d of September following, when he became bankrupt, and a commission being duly awarded and issued against him, he was duly declared a bankrupt according to the laws of the United States then in force concerning bankrupts; under which the plaintiff was duly appointed assignee.
