Bankruptcy – Foreign – Certificate and Discharge.-
A company in London became bankrupt, and, under the bankruptcy, obtained a certificate and discharge. Some years thereafter an action was raised by a creditor who had ranked and obtained his dividend out of the estate for payment of his debt, against the surviving partner in Scotland: Held that the discharge and certificate protected him, in terms of the 5 Geo. II. c. 30, – 70; and that concealment of property in Scotland, which did not then belong to him, was no bar to the benefit of the act.
