City of Elizabeth v. Force
Supreme Court of New Jersey
On appeal from a decree of the vice-chancellor, reported in Force v. City of Elizabeth, 1 Stew. 408.
1Opinion of the Court
The Chiee Justice.
This bill was filed by Mrs. Force to compel the city of Elizabeth to pay to her the money due on two of its negoti*588able bonds which she had purchased, and which bad been stolen from her. One of these bonds was of the denomination of $500, and the other of $1,000. With respect to the former of these instruments, I shall notice it no further than to say that, in my opinion, the questions connected with it were properly disposed of in the court of chancery. But the other bond stands upon quite different ground.
Such bonds or coupons, although stolen, are collectible in the hands…
