APPEAL from the common pleas of Dauphin county. In 1810, Frederick Stoever was discharged as an insovent debtor, and Michael Steckbeck, Leonard Immell and Jlnthony Kelker were appointed his assignees. In 1830, the creditors applied to the court to permit and direct a bond to be given and filed by Leonard Immell, the surviving trustee, conditioned for the faithful discharge of his duty, which was objected to, and the objections overruled and the bond given, from which order the administrators of Tobias Stoever appealed, and removed the record by certiorari.
1Per curiam
If the proceeding were imperfect when the act under which it was begun expired, what has been done since is simply void, and needs no reversal. It has, however, not been thought to be directly examinable here. The books show no instance of it, and we are satisfied the present attempt cannot be sustained.
Writ of certiorari quashed.
