SECT. 1. Bonds, being choses in action, so called because they can- Bonds not asot be reduced into possession except in due course of law, are not signable at law. operly assignable by the common law, 1 Inst. 232; therefore if on assignment an action is brought, it must be brought in the name of the obligee, and for the same reason a power of attorney and a coveant from the obligee not to release the debt or revoke his power must form a part of every such deed.

2. No assignment of a bond should be taken, unless there be evidence that the debt is still subsisting, as the courts have made it a rule to direct the jury to find a bond satisfied after a lapse of twenty years, without demand or acknowledgment, 1 Ves. 51. This is confirmed by 3 & 4 W. 4, c. 42, s. 3, which provides that no action of debt or covenant shall be brought upon any bond or other specialty but within twenty years.
