Foltz v. Mey
Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas · Decided September 15, 1795 · Bay, Waties
1 S.C.L. 486

Counsel

Pringle, contra,

Foltz v. Mey

Opinion of the Court

Waties, J.

The note in this case appears to be fair in its creation or making; made for a legal purpose in the course of trade, and came fairly in the course of trade into the hands of the plaintiff. No intermediate contingencies or usurious transactions between other persons, through whose hands it may have passed, can affect it in the hands of an innocent indorsee. Between him and the drawer it clearly stands unimpeached.

Concurring Opinion

Bay, J.

concurred, and the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.
