Blom, 103 Mo. 442, 03 S. W. 812; Mnzyck v. Coil, 3 Bich. Law (S. C.) 230; Green v. Green, 49 Ind. 423; Bryant v. Fairfield, 51 Me. 152; Armour Bros. Banking Co. v. Add- ingtou, 1 Ind. T. 304, 37 S. W. 100. In practice. An entry made oil the record, by which a party in whose favor a judg- ment was rendered declares that he has been satisfied and paid. In equity. The doctrine of satisfaction in equity is somewhat aualogous to perform- ance in equity, but differs from it in this respect: that satisfaction is always something given either in whole or in part as a substitute or equivalent for something else, and not (as in performance) something that may be construed as the identical thing covenanted to be done.
