A commission del credere is an absolute engagement to the principal from the broker, and makes him liable in the first instance. A broker with such a commission may set-off, under the general issue, a loss upon a policy happening before a bankruptcy, to an action by the assignees of the bankrupt, for premiums upon various policies under-written by him, and for which he had debited the broker : but such a loss carinot be proved under a riotice of set-off.
