Y. 3153 ; Christensen v. Colby, 43 Hun (N. Y.) 362. But a stockholder in a corporation cannot set off a debt due him by the corporation, against his statutory lia- bility as such stockholder, where his claim against the corporation consists of a judgment assigned to him, for which he has never paid. Such a defense being an equitable one, it is essential to Its maintenance that the defendant and the creditor, by whom he is sued, stand upon an equality, and that is not the case where it is simply... shown that he became possessed of the judgment Bulkley v, Whitcomb, 49 Hun (N. Y.) 290.
