    Abraham Colby, Plaintiff in error, v. James Ledden.
    The decision of this court in the preceding case of Peck v. Jenness affirmed.
    This, like the preceding case of Peck v. Jenness, was brought up from the Superior Court of Judicature of the State of New Hampshire, by a writ of error issued under the twenty-fifth section of the Judiciary Act.
    Ledden was an inhabitant of the Province of New Brunswick, and Colby of the State of New Hampshire. The attaeh- • ment was issued in 1837.
    The. case was similar, in it¡3 principal- circumstances, to that of Peck v. Jenness, and was argued together with it.
    
      C. B. Goodrich,, for the defendant in error.
    As to the principal question, I rely upon the argument sub-mitt§d in the case, of Peck v. Jenness. The attachment in this case was made before' the passage of the bankrupt statute. It cannot with much reason be said, that the right which the defendant below acquired by his attachment, legal when made, can be taken from him by subsequent legislation. Every objection, however, can be, made in this case, which can be taken in relation to any attachment. The debt is discharged here, to the same extent as any other debt.
    As to the objections, that the statute requisites have not been complied with which are essential to constitute an attachment, I submit- that the State court is the exclusive judge in this particular, and that its judgment is not open to review in this court.
   Mr. Justice GRIER

Thjs case was argued with the case of Philip Peck et al. v. John S. Jenness et al., and the record presents the same questions which have just been decided in that case. For the reasons there assigned, the judgment of the Superior Court of New Hampshire is affirmed.
