Syllabus

<p>Assignment for creditors — Situs of debt — Foreign assignee.</p> <p>Where a Pennsylvania corporation has complied with the laws of Maryland, and is lawfully engaged in business there, and contracts in that state a debt to a citizen thereof, and subsequently the creditor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors in Maryland, the debt passes as an asset of his estate to the Maryland assignee, and is not subject to subsequent attachment in Pennsylvania. In such a case the Act of May 3, 1855, P. L. 415, requiring the assignments of nonresidents to be recorded within any county where the assignor’s estate is situate within Pennsylvania, has no application.</p>
