McBride v. . the Farmers' Bank of Salem, Ohio.

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of the Supreme Court, holding that the defendants did not acquire a better title to the notes without valuable consideration, that the assignment of the claim was valid, that the plaintiff must be a resident to maintain the action, and that a judge may direct a verdict when only legal questions remain. The court relied on longstanding New York precedent and statutory provisions.
