Ford ex rel. Patterson v. Haft
Ohio Supreme Court
Ford ex rel. Patterson v. Haft, 1 Wright 118 (Ohio 1832)
1 Ohio Ch. 118
Ford ex rel. Patterson v. Haft
Opinion of the Court
There is no affidavit to the plea, and if the note is substantially described, it may be read. Though Cole and Lindsay cannot have a common seal, yet each may have used the same seal, and made it his. The note may go in evidence; but whether, unexplained, it will avail the plaintiff, is another question.
The note was then read. A witness was called, who proved the signature of Cole and Lindsay to be the writing of Cole, and his act alone.
The plaintiff rested. The defendant moved for a non suit.
BY THE COURT. The plaintiff cannot recover. He has sued three upon an obligation of two.
[Attaching seal does not vitiate note; Johnson v. Nelson, 3 W. L. M. 306, 310.]
