Geo. W. Harding, for Plaintiff in Error.
Mortimer Matthews, contra.

Opinion:
BY THE COURT.
1. An assignee for the benefit of creditors may sue, in his representative character, in all oases where the money, when recovered, would be assets.
2. A plaintiff's fiduciary capacity is not shown by the descriptive words "assignee of", unless preceded by the word "as" or unless there is a proper averment of such capacity in the bill of particulars, and if not so shown, he can not perfect an appeal without bond.
Judgment affirmed.
