Casteel v. Thompson

The defendant in error brought this suit against the plaintiff in error on certain promissory notes which had been executed to R. L. Williams, and assigned by him to J. B. Thompson. The plaintiff in error filed an answer alleging an offset on account of certain advertising published in his newspaper and for which R. L. Williams and J. B. Thompson agreed to pay. Upon a trial of the case, the court directed a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount represented by the notes sued on, and, the verdict having been returned, judgment was rendered for the plaintiff.
