Syllabus

<p>Assignor and Assignee—Fraud—Acquiescence—Case at bar.—F. assigned bond of §3,000, secured on land to B. R., adm’r of B., not by endorsement, but by another writing, assigned the bond to D. Suit was brought on it for D.’s benefit. An arrangement being made whereby the amount was reduced to §2,000, the suit was dismissed. D. had never given F. or the obligors notice of the assignment to him. And F. paid R., as adm’r of B., the §3,000 balance, and took a reassignment of the bond to himself. D. knew of this transaction and apparently acquiesced in it. Later, D. filed his bill against F., R., the obligors, the trustee and others, to compel payment of the said balance to himself:</p> <p>Held:</p> <p>His suit cannot be entertained.</p>
