Of old absolute warrandice in an assignation to debts did import that the debtor was sufficient and responsal; and in case it could not be got of the debtor, then the assigner was liable in warrandice to make it good; but now of late the Lords have found, in several cases, it signifies no more but that no other body has a better right to that sum than I have, and consequently you, who are my assignee; and that it is a true debt.
