Aldrich v. Whitaker

Young, J. The question the plaintiffs have discussed is not in the case, for this is an action to collect a note. Want of consideration is a defence to such an action when it is brought by the original payee of the note or his personal representatives (Murray v. Whitcomb, 58 N. H. 50), and may be shown by parol evidence. Bigelow v. Bigelow, 93 Me. 439. No question of law is raised by the other exception. Sxceptions overruled. Parsons, J., did not sit: the others concurred.
