Description
WHITFIELD, J. -- The action herein was brought by the defendant in error upon promissory notes executed by the Berryhill-Cromartie Company to the order of Merchants & Planters Transportation Co., it being alleged that ""the plaintiff, said Manatowoc Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company became the holders of said notes by endorsement to it by the said Merchants & Planters Transportation Company for value and before the notes were overdue. But the defendant, the said Berryhille-Cromartie Co., did not pay the same."" The declaration also contained the common counts. A demurrer to pleas of failure of consideration and of ultra vires was sustained, Another similar plea of failure of consideration was filed, in which it is averred that ""all of which the plaintiff herein had notice and knowledge before the said supposed notes were negotiated to it, and it is not a holder in due course."" Trial was had on this plea. The court directed a verdict and judgment for the plaintiff, and the defendant took writ of error.
