    a verdict and monthi a^nac" tion of trespass, does not protect a deimprisonment” An insolvent discharge after
    Motion that judgment be specially entered so as to exempt the body of the defendant from execution. In the last, vacation, the plaintiff obtained a verdict against the defendjn an action of trespass. After the verdict, but before the 1 entry of a judgment on the same, the defendant obtained an insolvent discharge, exempting his body from imprisonment for or by reason of any debt due on the 11th February, 1829, or contracted for before that time, though payable after-wards.
   By the Court, Marcv, J.

The verdict in this case was not a debt at the time of the granting of the discharge, which therefore does not protect the defendant.

Motion denied, with costs.
