New York Court of Appeals

The Atlantic State Bank of the City of Brooklyn, Respondent v. William Savery, Appellants

October 12, 188082 N.Y. 291

Summary

The Court affirmed the judgment for the banking association, holding that the partners of the firm were liable for the indorsement made without the other partners' consent, that the bank was a lawful holder of the note despite acquiring it at a discount, and that a director's private knowledge of the transaction did not prejudice the bank's title.
