Assumpsit, brought April 38, 1849. Certain persons were decreed to be bankrupts in 1842. The plaintiff was assignee of their estate. In said capacity he sold to one Bolkcom a demand against Stephenson, since deceased. The demand had been in the hands of Mr. Lowell, and prior to said sale, Mr. Lowell had collected the money ; but he declined to pay it over, except to Stephenson’s administrator, saying the demand never belonged to the bankrupt’s estate.
