Head Matter:
Scott v. Wise.
A prison-bounds bond may be assigned by a deputy-marshal.

Opinion:
The Court
(Duckett, J., absent,)
decided, upon general demurrer, that an assignment of a prison-bounds bond by the deputy-marshal, in the name of the chief marshal, was a good assignment. The assignment, on oyer, appeared to be signed "R. Moss, deputy-marshal, for D. C. Brent, marshal of the District of Columbia." See Virginia law, 24th November, 1792, p. 119, §2.
