The objection to the regularity of the appeal as made on the first of August, 1844, would have been well taken if the assignment of the complainant’s judgment and of his interest in the suit had been absolute, so that he had no longer any interest in the subject matter of the appeal. But the right reserved to him, in the assignment, to redeem, the amount of the judgment being several hundred dollars more than the amount of the costs of the assignees, left him a substantial interest in-the suit, which authorized him to appeal in his own .name. Nor could the defendants, who entered the.decree.against him subsequent to this conditional assignment-object to the form in which the appeal was.entered on -the first of August. .
If .the.appeal of .the 18th of July was not a nullity on the ground that .the decree had not then been actually entered in the records of.the.court,-there could have beep no doubt as .to, -the .regularity thereof,in .other respects; ey'ep if -.the assignment to the solicitors had been absolute and unconditional. For -that appeal was previous to the assignment, ;as appears .on the fac.eof the .assignment itself. • Whether it would have been necessary *649to revive the proceedings on the appeal, in that case, before proceeding to the argument, is a question which cannot now arise. For it appears that the appellant has redeemed from the assignment, so that the whole beneficial interest in the litigation is again in him. And where the complainant, or appellant, assigns his interest pendente lite, either absolutely or conditionally, and obtains a reassignment thereof before any further proceedings are had in the cause, it is not necessary to bring the temporary assignee before the court by a bill in the nature of a bill of revivor. But in such a case the assignor who has subsequently been restored to his former rights may proceed in the same manner as if no such assignment had been made.
The motion to dismiss the appeal must be denied with costs.
