Brophy as assignee of the Bisbee Plumbing Company, for debt in the sum of $472.S2. The complaint alleges that the Bisbee Plumbing Company was in debted to the plaintiff on March 22 in the sum of the above amount, and that the plaintiff assigned to one Thomas F.

That Bennett went to Hurst, one of the of the officials of the Orpheum Company, and showed to him an agree i ment or order on the Orpheum Com pany from the Bisbee Plumbing Com pany for the amount and asking them to pay to Mir. Bennett the sum of S472.S2 out of the first work that was paid to the Blsbee Plumbing Com pany.
