Opinion

majority opinion

By the Court. The plaintiff’s claim is not barred by the discharge of the defendant. Until the plaintiff paid the note, there was not any specific and certain debt due to him from the defendant; and the actual payment of the money was subsequent to the defendant’s discharge. This case is similar to Frost v. Carter, 1 John, cases, 73; in which the reasoning of Kent J. and the cases he cited very satisfactorily sustain the decision which was made.

Judgment for the plaintiff.
