¶1The case was tried by the First District Court of Jersey City, without a jury, and a judgment given for the plaintiff for $161.25.
¶2*926The plaintiff, at the request of the defendant, became accommodation endorser upon a promissory note as follows:
¶3“750.00. Jersey City, N. J., September 19th, 1924.
¶4Three months after date we promise to pay to the order of Emil Schauble seven hundred and fifty dollars at the First National Bank, Jersey City, N. J. Value received.
¶5MEIROWSKY BROTHERS, INC.,
¶6O. Meirowsky, President.
¶7The endorsements were as follows:
¶8Arthur T. Dear,
¶9O. Meirowsky,
¶10Emil Sohauble.”
¶11A payment in reduction of the note was subsequently made, and a renewal note given for the balance; the renewal note bore same personal endorsements as the original note, with the exception that the corporation signature was made by the defendant as president, and the plaintiff as treasurer, the plaintiff having acquired an interest in the corporation since the issuance of the first note.
¶12On the due date, the company being insolvent, the plaintiff paid the note and filed a claim against the company with its receiver, but received nothing upon his claim because of a lack of assets for the purpose.
¶13The plaintiff’s contention here is that the judgment should have been in his favor for the full amount of the note instead of a reduced sum in contribution.
¶14We think there was ample evidence justifying the finding as a fact that the plaintiff accommodated the corporation at the instance of its president, this defendant, and that, therefore, the accommodation was not extended to the defendant individually.
¶15The judgment will therefore be affirmed.
