1. ““If, however, co-partners couM, miller the act, make an assignment of partnership property only for the benefit of the creditors of tlie firm alone, there would be an insuperable objection to such an assignment containing a clause requiring a release of the debtors by the creditors, as a condition to the right to participate in the proceeds of the assigned property. * * * He who wants the benefit of the’ act by which he seeks to be released from his just debt without full payment must comply with the act, by conveying to the assignee all of the property required to be conveyed, whether the same be owned by him individually, or as a member of a firm; and If he does not do so by the terms of his deed, aided by the law, his assignment is void, and imposes no obstacle to creditors in collecting their debts by usual process.””
