Lane, J. An offset under our law, must come in under notice, it cannot be pleaded. The statute dispensing with proof, does not reach the admission of evidence under a notice, and therefore does not apply to this case. The account by the Massachusetts law- is barred, and that act under the provisions of our law governs the case. These questions when they arise under a notice, are to be determined by proof, not by plea. Verdict and judgment for the plaintiff.
