ARK.] HAMILTON VS. MYRICK & WILLIAMSON. 551 subsequent period, be collected by the drawees. It contains no stipulation whatever for the payment of the sum of money therein mentioned, by the drawer or any other person, to the payce-or any other person whatever, and therefore it is not such an obligation as is assignable by virtue of any of the provisions of either of the statutes aforesaid, and cannot, by reason of the endorsement and assignment thereof by the payee to Myrick, createe and legal debt or obligation thereof by the payee to Myrick, create any legal debt or obligation in favCr of the latter against the drawer ; and for this reason, the plea must be adjudged insufficient in law to entitle the defendant, Myrick, to have the amount of money in said order mentioned set-off against the demand of the plaintiff. Having thus disposed of this question, it becomes unnecessary for us to consider or determine the other questions presented by the record. Judgment reversed, and case remanded, with instructions to sustain the demurrer to the plea of set-off, and for further proceedings.
