¶1By the Court,
¶2The plea is good. It shows the legal title of the note to have been transferred by endorsement to Stilwell and the other persons named in the plea. If the suit was brought by them in the name of the plaintiff, or for their benefit, that fact should be replied, and it will be a good answer to the plea. 15 Johns.
