¶1Judgment — Motion insufficient, and for the plaintiff to recover. The value of public securities is considered as a matter of public notoriety, equally in the knowledge of the buyer as the seller; but the genuineness of them is not so, nor could it be found out in this case, without much time, pains and cost; the seller in such cases takes the risk upon himself and is responsible.
