Syllabus

<p>Assignments — public officers — salaries.</p> <p>An assignment by a public officer of his unearned or anticipated salary is void as being against public policy.</p> <p>Compromise and Settlement.</p> <p>The compromise of a suit neither admits the validity of the claim urged nor ascertains any amount as being due and amounts to no more than saying that so much is paid to be rid of the controversy.</p>
