Supreme Court of Vermont February 15, 1846 (Onion v. Clark)

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Bennett, J.

In this case the petitionee, Clark, pleads in bar, setting up, that, prior to the attachment of the premises by Onion, he became a bankrupt, under the laws of Congress, and that the lands specified in the petition passed to his assignee. If the plea contained nothing more, it would be ill in substance, with reference to Onion’s title.
