The statute 2 Geo .

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 ,
or giving it in evidence ,
when proper notice had been given of such intention ,
under the general issue .
The statute being made for the benefit of the defendant ,
is not compulsory ;

It seems ,
however ,
that in some cases of intestate estates ,
and of insolvent estates ,
perhaps owing to the peculiar wording of the law ,
the statute has been held to operate on the rights of the parties before action brought ,
or an act done by either of them .

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 ,
debts and credits ,
the balance only is considered to be the debt ,
and therefore in an action ,
it is not necessary in such cases either to plead or give notice of set -
off .
