Robinson v. Brown

Opinion of the Court

A PROMISSORY note, executed by Hyland T. Brown and Alexander Gregg and payable to Joseph S. Burr, was endorsed by the payee as follows: “ Mr. Gregg,—Pay the within to Jesse Robinson. (Signed) Joseph S. Burr." Held, that this endorsement did not transfer the legal ownership of the note to Robinson, and authorise him to maintain a suit on it against the makers or either of them, in his own name.
