    Abstract of the Decision.
    Assignments, § 37
      
      —what assignee must grove in action against debtor. Where a lessee of a printing shop and typesetting machines brought an action against one of its customers to recover on an account for metal delivered to the defendant by the plaintiff’s lessor, which account the plaintiff claimed it had acquired at the time of making the lease and for which the defendant claimed it had settled with the plaintiff’s lessor with whom it had previously done business, not having had any notice of the assignment thereof, held that a judgment for the plaintiff was not justified, as it had failed to prove notice to the defendant of such assignment.
