“This action was brought to recover the contents of a promissory note, dated at Providence, &c. given by the defendant to the plaintiff, payable at a certain time, which had elapsed before the suit was brought. The defendant pleaded a discharge under the insolvent act of Rhode-Island, after the note was given and before it became due. To this plea there was a general demurrer and joinder. The cause was shortly argued by Tristram Burgess for the plaintiff, and Robbins for the defendant.”
