Abstract of the Decision.
Bills and notes, § 440 * —when judgment for defendant not warranted ly evidence. In an action to recover the balance due on a note, which was a part of an outline of studies, which were never given, and was detached and sold to plaintiff for value before maturity, where the evidence was undisputed that plaintiff was an innocent purchaser for value and defendant made payments on the note in its detached form at plaintiff’s office, where he admitted he saw the note, evidence held insufficient to warrant a judgment for defendant.
