The judgment of the court (Rost, J. absent) was pronounced by
Slidell, J.The evidence shows that the plaintiff became the holder of the promissory note for value, before maturity, in good faith, and without notice of the pretended equities between the maker and prior endorser. Whether the alleged equities existed or not is, therefore, immaterial.
It is therefore decreed that the judgment of the district court be affirmed, with costs.
