2 D.C. 298

Riggs v. Graeff

Decided April 15, 1822

Assumpsit by the indorsee against the indorser of a lost inland bill of exchange. The declaration had three counts. The first was the common count upon the non-acceptance of the bill, without saying anything of its loss.

Decided 1822-04-15

The Court

¶1(nem. con.) decided that the plaintiff could not support the action upon the special count, as no indemnity had been tendered, nor any demand made of a new bill. And, that as the defendant did not receive any value for the bill, but indorsed it only to give it credit, the plaintiff could not recover upon the count for money had and received.
