TTTTC COURT.
This is an action on several promissory notes given by Theodore Romeyn, to the plaintiffs’ testator, indorsed by the defendant. The plea sets up in defense that time was given by the plaintiffs to Romeyn. To this plea the plaintiffs replied, that at and before the alleged time was given, Romeyn was a discharged bankrupt; that the debt was proveable against his estate. Averments were added covering all the exceptions in the statute, under which it is permitted to go behind the certificate. To this replication the defendant demurred. Joinder in demurrer, &c.
