Wentworth v. Wentworth
Superior Court of New Hampshire · Decided May 15, 1831
5 N.H. 410

Counsel

J. Eastman, for the plaintiff., Boardman, for the defendant.

Wentworth v. Wentworth

Opinion of the Court

By the court.

The negotiable note of an infant furnishes no ground of action, and is in fact of no value. 3 N. H. Rep. 348.

The agreement of the plaintiff to discharge this claim upon the defendant, which was then due, was in fact without any consideration. And as the discharge does not appear to have been under seal, it is without any legal effect. 2 Starkie’s Ev. 127; 13 Johns. 87, Crawford v. Millspough ; 1 N. H. Rep. 281 ; 4 ditto, 492.

Judgment on the verdict.
