““This leaves the question of estoppel to be considered. In Hill v. Cooper, 6 Or. 182 , the precise question involved here came before this court for the first time for adjudication; and, after a careful examination of the point, it was held that, under the statute which allowed an equitable defense by cross-bill in actions at law, a party might rely upon a legal defense in an action, without being thereby precluded from afterwards asserting his equitable title in an original suit.””
