Perkins v. Quint

45 A. 143, 69 N.H. 428

Opinion

Peaslee, J.

When the insolvency proceedings were instituted and Hobson was notified thereof, the probate court acquired jurisdiction of his claims against the defendant. Jurisdiction that has once attached is not defeated by subsequent events. Clarke v. Mathewson, 12 Pet. 164, 171; Tapley v. Martin, 116 Mass. 275.

The discharge applied to all claims of which the court had jurisdiction, and the actions cannot be maintained.

Judgments for the defendant.

Blodgett, C. J., did not sit: the others concurred.
