The act of satisfying a party by paying what is due to him, (as on a mortgage, lien, or contract,) or what is awarded to him, by the judgment of a court or otherwise. Thus, a judgment is satisfied by the payment of the amount due to the party who has recovered such judgment or by his levying the amount See Miller v. Beck, 108 Iowa, 575, 79 N. W. 344; Rivers v. Blom, 163 Mo. 442, 63 S. W. 812; Mazyck v. Coil, 3 Rich. Law (S. C.) 236; Green v. Green, 49 Ind. 423; Bryant v. Fairfield, 51 Me. 152; Armour Bros. Banking Co. v. Add ington, 1 Ind. T. 304, 37 S. W. 100. In practice. An entry made on the rec ord, 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 analogous to perform ance in equity, but differs from it in this respect: that satisfaction is always some thing 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 cov enanted to be done. Brown. —Satisfaction piece. In practice. A mem orandum in writing, entitled in a cause, stating that satisfaction is acknowledged between the parties, plaintiff and defendant. Upon this be ing duly acknowledged and filed in the office where the record of the judgment is, the judg ment becomes satisfied, and the defendant dis charged from it 1 Archb. Pr. 722. Satisfaction should be made to that fund which has sustained the loss. 4 Bouv. Inst no 3731.
