Analysis

No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.

Opinion — Heydeneeldt

Mr. Justice Heydeneeldt delivered the opinion of the Court.

Mr. Ch. J. Murray concurred.

The consideration of the note was clearly against public policy, but it was made to take the form of commercial paper, and having been transferred to an innocent holder before its maturity, in his hands it is purged of the objection, and must be enforced. It is similar to the case of Haight v. Joyce, 2 Cal. 64.

Judgment affirmed.
