Morrison Waite,
Thatcher v. Rockwell — Opinion of the Court
“ These cases, although the bankrupt happened to be a defendant, establish the doctrine that under the late bankrupt law the validity of a pending suit, or of the decree or judgment therein, was not affected by the intervening bankruptcy of one of the parties; that the assignee might or might not be made a party; and whether he was so or not, he was equally bound with any other party acquiring an interest pendente lite. It is no defence to the debt that the creditor has become a bankrupt ”
