“This suit is in equity, where it is recognized that debts should be paid, and the adjustments of demands by set-off rather than by independent suit is favored and encouraged.... It has been expressly recognized that 'the argument (for al lowing a set-off) is the stronger if the creditor, for any cause ... cannot be coerced to pay this demand.’”
