but distribution ;
and in its ordinary technical sense ,

When a Purely personal contract is entire and not divisible in its nature ,
it is manifest it cannot be apportioned ;
as when the subject of the contract is but one thing ,
and there is but one creditor and one debtor ,
neither can apportion the obligation without the consent of the other .
In such case the creditor cannot force his debtor to pay him a part of his debt only ,
and leave the other part unpaid ,
nor can the debtor compel his creditor to receive a part only of what is due to him on account of his claim .
Nor can the assignee of a part sustain an action for such part .
