FOR THE GEORGIA COURIER.
petty
1st. Georgia is an independent, sove
reign state, possessing all the powers of
soverignty and legislation belonging to a
Republic, except such as she has delegated
to the Federal Government, or voluntari
ly relinquished by the Constitution of the
United States. She, therefore, had a
tate so assigned, or transferred, such as- j under which the assignees claim thispro-
signment, transfer, deed, or conveyance,
shall be null & void* and considered in law
and equity as fraudulent against creditors:
Provided-nevertheless, That nothing con
tained in this act, shall prevent any per
son or persons in debt, from bona fide and
absolutely selling and disposing of any
part or the whole of his, her, or their es
tate, so the same be free from any trust
for the benefit of the seller, or any person or
persons appointed by him, hen or them.’
By the Court.—The question which I
am called upon to determine is one of very
great importance, not only to the parties
concerned in this cause, but to the com
mercial world, and to the character of the
judiciary of our state. And convinced,
as. I have always been, of the necessity
j of a common head to our judicial fystem,
I have never before been called upon to
of nat'io'nal law,) and therefore in all cases
where the enforcement of either would
be contrary to these, they evidently do
not apply. Now, although personal pro
perty, by a fiction of law, is said to have
no locality, yet it is subject hv the laws
of all nations to the payment of debts,
taxes, duties, &c. &c. in the place where
it is located, and not in the place where

Cfmmingham vs. Wilson.
This was an attachment sued out by
Alex. Cunningham, the plaintift, against
‘ he goods and effects of IVIarlx Wiison, a
nonresident debtor, and levied on the
personal property of the defendant in the
hands of S. C. Brame and others. Wil-
on, the defendant, resides in Philadel
phia. and had sent the goods to Augusta,
by his agent, Brame. Shortly after the
-roods arrived in Augusta, Wilson found
himself unable to pav his debts, and made
an assignment of all his goods and effects,
including those in Augusta, to certain per
sons, for the benefit of certain favorite
creditors. The plaintiff is a resident in
Virginia, and was not one of tho preferred
creditors, and upon ascertaining these
facts, he came to Augusta and sued out
this attachment. Before the lew of the
attachment, the assignees, bv their agent
in Augusta, bad obtained possession of the
goods from Brame. The assignment,
though partial and selecting particular
has been so strongly exemplified, as it is
in the one now under consideration.—
Most cases which occur, are in their ope
ration limited to the parties at issue, and
can have no very extensive influence;
but this is one, involving in its considera
tion, questions of international law—the
application of the principles of that law in
the construction of a statute of our own
state—and very important interests of the
commercial world. And this question,
big with such important principles and
consequences, is left to the decision of a
single Judge, unassisted by the researches. . „ - ,
the learning and the judgment of others, | own cit.zens, properly so called, and on
who might be able to aid him in the elu
cidation of the subject, and bear a part of
the responsibility ; and from his decision
there is no anpoal. This radical defect
in our judicial svsiem, is deeply regretted
by every enlightened jurist and statesman
who desires that law should be adminisr
tered, as a science, and that the reputation
of the state should be coextensive with it»
real in'eAigence. But such unfortunately
i
reditors, is good and valid by the laws of J is the constitution of onr judiciary, and
hence has devolved on me the task of de
ciding this great question, and construing,
for the first time, onr act of Assembly
with reference to the conflicting laws of
other states. This task I shall endeavor
to perform in the best manner of which
I am capable, giving to the subject a la
borious investigation, and the exercise of
my best judgment; and if the decision
which T shall make, shall not be satisfac
tory to the bar, and the community, I can
only regret the necessity which has called
it forth.
This cause has been very ably argued
by the counsel on both sides, and I take
great pleasure in declaring, that the lights,
furnished by that argument have served
to direct nte in the subsequent investiga
tion which I have given to the subject.
The counsel for the assignees, have
taken two grounds upon which they rely
in support of the assignment. 1st. That
the assignment being good and valid by
the laws of Pennsylvania, where it was
made, is good and valid every where, and
must be sunnorted bv the courts of all ci
vilized countries, upon the principle of
international law, which admits the lex
loci contractus. And, 2d. That the acf
of the General Assembly of this state, is
unconstitutional and void, because it im
pairs the obligation of contracts. See 10
sec. 1 Art. Con. US.
The counsel for the plnintifl, on the
other hand, contend, that although as a
general rule, the lex loci contractus must
govern, there are mnpv exceptions to that
rule,^ one of which is, “ unless there be a
positive law forbidding itand that the
case at bar is wi<hin this exception, there
being a positive statute of this state against
such assignment. And they farther con
tend that that statute is hot unconstitu
tional.
There were many points taken and dis
cussed in the course of the argument,
which it is unnecessary to state here, as
they will be generally noticed in the opi
nion which I shall give.
In the investigation of this question, I
propose to examine if, first, upon princi
ple apart from all authority ; and, second
ly, to see how far the result of that exa
mination is supported by, authority and
adjudged cases.
1st. All independent nations have the
right to pass laws for the regulation and
government of persons and things within
the immediate and acknowledged juris
diction.of those laws. But no civilized na
tion aught so to exerci.se this rightas to in
terfere wiih the rights of others, who may
come within its jurisdiction; provided
thpse rights are such as do not conflict
with the principles of morality, and the
essential policy of the government. If
this position be correct, then the law
which once existed in France, and known
as the droit d'aiibaine,by which all the pro
perty of foreigners dyingwithin the king
dom was vested in the Crown, was con
trary to the first principles of natural jus
tice; and although the government had
the power, and the right, to enact and
enforce such a law, yet it was manifestly
unjust and tyrannical. But, on the other
hand, our law which declares poligam v to
be a crime, being in accordance with the
principles of morality end the essential
policy of our government, is neither un
just nor tyrannical, and therefore an in
dividual coming from a country where
poligamy is tolerated, would have no right
to complain of our law.
Taking then as mv guide, the principle
which,I have assumed as above laid down,
I will proceed to examine, 1st, Whether
Georgia has properly exercised her right
and power in the enactmfpt of the statute
under consideration (supposing it to be
constitutional); and, 2d, Whether that
statute can. operate upon this assignment,
Pennsylvania, where it was made. None
of the parlies in interest are residents of
Georgia.. These facts were admitted by
the counsel engaged in the cause ; and at
this term a verdict was taken for the
plaintiff', subject to the opinion of the
Court upon ihe law involved in the ques
tion ; which is th : s, whethei the assign
ment, being valid in Pennsylvania where
made, by the laws of that State, can con
vey the goods in Georgia,- although such
assignment, if made in Georgia, would
have been null and void by the act of
1819. Prince’s Dig. 114.

The first section of the act of the Gene
ral Assembly in regard to attachments,
under which this attachment was sued
out, passed on the 18th Feb. 1799,—
Prin. Dig. 18, is in the following words:
“ Sec. 1. That in case of nonresidence,
or where both debtor and creditor shall
reside without the limits of this State, it
shall and may be lawful for such creditor,
by himself, his agent, or attorney, to at
tach the property; both real or personal,
which may be found in the state, of such
debtor, in the same manner, and under
the like restrictions, as are or shall be
usual in case of absconding debtors, or
where the debtor alone resides out of the
state.”
The act in regard to partial assignments
of personal property to particular credit
ors, in exclusion of others, passed the
19th Dec. ISIS—Prin. Dig. 114—and
upon which the plaintiff relies, is in the
following words, viz c
“Whereas a practice of selecting par
ticular creditors by assignments and trans
fers of property, made by persons in
debted, and thereby excluding or defraud
ing other bona fide creditors of their just
.claims on the estate of insolvent debtors,
is contrary to the first principles ofeqtiity
and justice; to prevent' the mischief
thereof,
“ 1st. Be it enacted, That any person,
or persons, unable to pay his, her,
or their debts, who shall at any time
hereafter make any assignment or trans
fer of real or personal property, stock in
trade, debts', dues, or demands, in trust,
to any person or persons, in satisfaction
or payment of any debt or demand, oi in
part thereof, for the use and benefit of
his, her, or their creditor or creditors, or
for the use and benefit of any other per
son or persons, by which any creditor of
the said debtor shall or may be excluded
from an equal share or portion of the es-
right to pass this law, unless she was re- j the owuer is domiciled. Thus stock in
strained by the constitution, or by the du- j trade pays a tax in this state, and there-
ty and comity she owed toother states j fore the goods now in dispute, although

the conduct of persons Tailing in trade, there may be no law in the state where

to be absolutely null and void, and this j present assignment out of lireway, and
statute is, by its express words, applied to ) thfese goods acknowledged to be the pro-
both real and personal estate. Now, it i peily of Mark Wilson, and also that in

exercised. It does not interfere with the j for a valuable consideration., transfer it to
rights of others, because it is a general law,: another, and thereby defeat the judgment
operating alike on the property of our j creditor; and that Mark Wilson, in the
present case, had, after the levy of the
attachment, or rendition of the judgment
in favor of Alexander Cunningham, and
before the execution was in the sheriff’s
hands, actually conveyed this property in
Georgia, for a valuable consideration, to
another in the city of Philadelphia, and
that the person having such conveyance
was now claiming these goods instead of
the assignees, Would the comity of this
Court apply the lex loci contractus to
such a case, and support the conveyance
against our own law-, and give as a rea
son, “ that personal property has no lo
cality, and must be governed by the law of
the place where the contract was made?"
I apprehend there will be hut one answer
to this question, and that is, that it would
be both unjust and unreasonable to sup
port such conveyance against the rights
of third persons acquired under the laws
of the place where the property was loca
ted, and that therefore tho the lex loci rei
sitcc, and not the lex loci contractus, pro
perly applied to the case. In what then,
I would ask, does the case at bar differ
from the case above supposed? Both
conveyances would be good and valid un
der the la,ws of the place where they were
executed, and both would be void under
our laws. In neither case is the contest
between the parties to the contract, but
in both it is between one of those parties
and a third person whose rights are in
volved, and whose interests are sought to
be affected. I shall not attempt to point
out the cases in which the lex loci con
tractus will apply. It is enough for my
present purpose, to shew that it does not
apply to this case, and this I have done
in a manner satisfactory, at least to my
own mind. Upon principle, therefore,
or rather according to my ideas of prin
ciple, this assignment quoad the property-
in dispute, is null and void, and cannot
be supported against the claims of the
plaintiff’.

that of the citizens of other states, found
within our jurisdiction. The right ol
property acqui - ed by Mark Wilson, under
the laws of Pennsylvania, previously to
the time when the property was sent
here, and arrived within the jurisdiction
of this state, is not infringed by this sta
tute; if it were, then, perhaps, the power
of the state would have been improperly
exercised. And, therefore, if this pro
perty had been in Philadelphia when this
assignment was made, and had been there
delivered to the assignees, their title to it
would have been complete under the laws
of that state, and such title would not be
divested by our statute, upon a subsequent
removal of that property within otlr juris
diction, by ihe assignees, who had thus
obtained a legal title which had been con
summated in Pennsylvania: Because our
statute could have no extra-territorial
operation, and such property having been
legally vested in the assignees in another
state, would have been the property of
the assignees, and not of Mark Wilson ;
and consequently not subject to this at
tachment. This assignment, so far as it
relates to the property now in dispute,
was made evidently "ith a view to its
being carried into effect in this state, be
cause the subject matter of the convey
ance, was at the time located here, and
subject to the municipal regulations of
this government whilst within its jurisdic
tion.
But it has been said at the bar, and
supported by high authority, “ that per
sonal properly has no locality, and is,
therefore, subject to the law of the place
whert^the o vner is domiciled.” Person
al property is certainly not immutably
local, like lands, and in this sense only is
th* above proposition true, because it is
susceptible of being moved, and may,
therefore, follow the person of the owner,
and of course be subject to the law.oi the
domicile of such owner. But sfich pro
perty has locality in the place where it
may be situated during the time it is thus
located, and ought to be subject to the
municipal laws of such place; and when
ever those laws come in conflict with the
laws of the domicile of the owner in regard
to such property, the latter must yield,
and more particularly when third persons,
who are interested, are seeking their
riobts under the former. If, however,
there he no particular law of the country,
wht’ie the property is situated, prescri
bing ‘lie form and mode of convey
ance, or rather prohibiting a particular
mode of transfer, then the general dispo
sition of it by the owner, according to the
forms of the law of bis domicile, will be
respected and enforced in the country
where it may be. It seems to me, then,
that Georgia has properly exercised her
power in passing this statute, because it
does not interfere with rights of others,
acquired under foreign laws, and because
also it is in accordhnce with the essential
policy of the state, in endeavoring to pro
mote fair and honest dealings between
merchants and others, and in requiring
persons failing in trade, to make a fair
and equal distribution of their effects
among all their bona fide creditors.
2d. “ Can this statute operate upon
this assignment under which the assignees
claim this property?” It is admitted,
ihat if this assignment had been executed
in Georgia, it would be-void under the
statute ; but it is contended, that by the
comity of nations, the law of the place
where the contract was made must govern,
and that, therefore, our law cannot ope
rate upon this assignment. The difficulty
which arises in the investigation ot most
legal questions, is not in regard to what the
general principle is, but in the application
of ihat principle to the particular case.—
Non’, I am not disposed to controvert,
but on the contrary to admit, the general
doctrine, ihat the lex loci contractus and
the lex domicilii must govern whenever
they fit the case ; because they are rules
of international law, which are founded in
principles of reason and justice. But I
have not been able-to bring my mind to
the conclusion, that the case at bar comes
under either of these rules. I have said
these rules are founded in reason and jus
tice, land if they be not, they are not rules
