Head Matter:
Richard W. Greene v. Charles C. Mowry.
A bona fide assignment in trust for creditors, although executed out of the State, takes precedence of a subsequent attachment levied within the State. The distinction is between an assignment which operates solely by the deed of the party, and an assignment, the operation of which is affected or regulated by the bankrupt laws of a foreign country: It is only in the latter case that the assignee is subject, in the same manner that the assignor would be, to all subsequent liens and equities on the assigned property within this State.
