Error to Oakland. (Moore, J.) Assumpsit on “Red Lyon Wheat Note.” Defendant brings error. The facts are stated in the opinion.
1Opinion of the CourtChamplin, J.
Plaintiff recovered judgment before a justice of the peace against defendant upon a promissory note dated August 18, 1886, for $75, payable to C. H. Williams, or bearer, due on or before one year from date, and signed by defendant. Defendant appealed to the circuit court for Oakland county, where a trial was had, and resulted in a verdict for plaintiff.
The suit was defended on the ground that the note was given as part of a scheme to defraud the public, and was illegal and void as against public policy, and that such facts were well known to plaintiff at the time he purchased the same.
