allegations or propose any interrogatories, or if the same shall be
answered satisfactorily or determined in favor of the insolvent, the
court shall discharge the insolvent from all debts and contracts made
before the filing of his petition, and he shall be released from all such
debts and contracts; and such discharge and release shall embrace all
cases where he is endorser or surety; and he shall not be liable to pay
any joint contractor, surety or endorser who may pay any debt or per-
form any contract after the filing of his petition, which was entered
into before the filing of such petition.

Effect of discharge.

State Insolvent laws have no extra-territorial effect, and do not discharge
the claims of non-residents unless they participate in the Insolvency pro-
ceeding. Brown v. Smart, 69 Md. 327 (affirmed in 145 U. S. 457); Glenn v.
Clabaugh, 65 Mi 68; Pinckney v. Lanahan, 62 Md. 450; Potter v. Kerr, 1 Md.
Ch. 280. And see Boyle v. Zacharie, 6 Pet. 635.
