Patton v. Wilmot

Opinion of the Court

Chase, Ch. J.

There has not been due diligence used to recover the money from the drawer of the note, and it is the province of the court to determine whether or not dup diligence has been used. The jury therefore must find their verdict for the defendant, unless it appears to them that the defendant has subsequently promised to pay the amount of the note to the indorsee,

Yesdict eos the Defendant.
