White v. Womack

" ALEXANDER, Justice. ’

This suit was brought by .Roscoe White against David Womack as maker and the Trinity County Lumber Company as indorser on two negotiable promissory notes in the gum of $175 each, executed by Womack and now owned by White. The case was tried before the court without a jury. The court rendered judgment against Womack as the maker of the notes, but refused to render judgment against the lumber company as indorser, because the holder failed to either give notice of dishonor or bring suit at the first term of court after the notes matured. The plaintiff appealed.
