Opinion

The Court

(Duckett, J., absent,)

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, 24th November, 1792, p. 119, §2.
