Bell v. Assignee of Reading

2 N.J.L. 143

Opinion

[*] Kirkpatrick, C. J.

— Delivered the opinion [105] of the court. This instrument is not assignable in law; the assignee cannot maintain an action thereupon in his own name; nor if he could, would an action of debt lie: it must be of covenant broken.

Let the judgment be reversed.
