Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court September 15, 1817 (Jenkins v. Brewster)

Per Curiam.

We have no doubts that, but for the peculiar cil cumstances of this case, an account might have been properly filed by the defendant under the statute; but, after the assignment of the contract, and notice thereof to the defendant, he could not, by any act of his, deprive the assignees of their rights under the assignment.
