Opinion
Jones against Emerson.
On production of a certificate, under the bankrupt law of the United States, granted in a sister state, the court will discharge.
[MAJORITY]
The defendant had obtained his certificate under a commission of bankruptcy, issued against him in Connecticut; he was afterwards arrested, in this state, at the suit of the plaintiff, but, on production of his certificate, the court ordered him to be discharged.
But they will not on the mere issuing a commission of bankrupt against him. M'Master v. Kell, 1 Bos. & Pull. 302.
