Syllabus

<p>1. Assignment—assignee of judgment protected. The assignee of a judgment, taking without notice that the judgment debtor has any equitable right to have an unsettled demand set off against it, will be protected. Notice that the judgment debtor has a demand against the plaintiff in the judgment, is not any ground for allowing a set-off to defeat the equitable right of the assignee.</p> <p>2. Same—of judgment, carries security. The assignment of a judgment after an appeal to the Supreme Court, in equity, carries with it the security afforded by the appeal bond, in case of affirmance. The bond is but an incident to the debt, and passes with it.</p>
