New York Court of Appeals
James Moore, Respondent, Agt. John A. Cross, Appellant
June 5, 185919 N.Y. 227
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment for James Moore, holding that John A. Cross, who indorsed the promissory notes in blank, is liable to the payee. The Court permitted parol evidence to prove the original consideration and agreement contrary to the face of the note, and treated the blank indorsement as effectively made without recourse.
