Ratio:It is a good plea to an action on a promissory note and for money lent, that the plaintiff is an uncertificated bankrupt, and that his assignees required the defendant to pay to them the money claimed by the plaintiff: and it is no good replication that the causes of action accrued after the plaintiff became bankrupt, and that the defendant treated with the plaintiff as a person capable of receiving credit in those behalves, and that the commissioners had made no new assignment of the said notes and money : for the general assignment of the commissioners passes to the assignees of the bankrupt all his after-acquired as well as present personal property and debts.
