Mr. Chief Justice Lawrence

¶1delivered the opinion of the Court:

¶2The instructions in this case given for the defendant, would be understood by the jury as meaning that the plaintiff, as indorsee of the note, could not recover unless he had paid a valuable consideration at the time of the indorsement, and then only to the extent of such consideration.
