Supreme Court of Virginia March 15, 1840 (Corbin v. Emmerson)

Scott, J.

delivered the opinion of the court—That in every case of a bill in equity asking relief for the plaintiff as assignee of the rights of another, the as*669signor must be made a party to the cause, and the assignment ought to be shewn and proved, though the fact be not denied, nor proof of it called for, in the answers.
