McCormick v. Eckland

This was a suit by Eckland, assignee of Archbold, against McCormick, as maker of a promissory note.

The defendant answered in two paragraphs—

1. A general denial.

2. That defendant was the owner of a part of said note, the same having been assigned to him by said Archbold, which assignment had been wrongfully erased, but that he was still the owner of said interest, and that the same is a payment thereon, &c. '

The plaintiff put in a general denial by way of a reply, and alleged, also, that the said assignment was erased with the consent of the defendant.
