Jones & Co. v. Middleton
Supreme Court of Iowa · Decided June 15, 1870 · Williams
29 Iowa 188

Jones & Co. v. Middleton

Opinion of the Court

Williams, J.

A note payable to order is transferable by indorsement after due, and is so far negotiable. We see no good reason for excusing the indorsee from making demand when the transfer is made in good faith. It is said that a note so transferred after due is, as respects the obligations of the parties, like a note payable on demand; and the same rule we think should hold that governs demand notes. 2 Parsons on Notes aud Bills, 13.

Demand should be made and notice given within a reasonable time, and demand and notice should be stated in the petition.

Affirmed.
