Opinion

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.
