Analysis

No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.

Opinion — Fieldburnett

Field, J., delivered the opinion of the Court—Burnett, J., concurring.

The demand in suit was assignable, and its transfer gave a right of action in the name of the assignee. The assignor was a competent witness, and his testimony should have been admitted. The action is not brought for an unliquidated demand, and is not, therefore, embraced within the exception contained in the concluding clause of the fourth section of the Practice Act.

Judgment reversed, and cause remanded.
