which has been generally adopted in the United States with some modifications however ,
allowed ,
in cases of mutual debts ,
the defendant to set his debt against the other ,
either by pleading it in bar ,

is not compulsory ;

The statutes refer only to mutual unconnected debts ;
for at common law ,
when the nature of the employment ,
transaction or dealings necessarily constitute an account consisting of receipts and payments ,

and therefore in an action ,
it is not necessary in such cases either to plead or give notice of set -
off .
