    Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Assignments, § 30
      
      —who may sue when demand arising under a contract is assigned. Where a claim for a sum due on a written contract for the purchase of books has been assigned, an action may be maintained on such claim either by the original party or by the assignee.
    2. Depositions, § 40
      
      —when objections to answers must be made. Where an objection to an answer to an interrogatory in a deposition could have been obviated by issuing a new commission and re-examining the witnesses, such objection must be made by motion to suppress before the trial, and it is too late to object to the testimony at the trial.
    3. Sales, § 328
      
      —questions of fact. In an action to recover a sum due on a written contract for the purchase of books, the question whether the books delivered corresponded with the sample shown held to be a question of fact on which the finding of the court on the evidence was conclusive.
