CHARLES L. HOWK, Respondent, v. TALMADGE ECKERT, Impleaded, etc., Appellant.
    Appeal from a judgment in favor of the plaintiff, entered upon the report of a referee.
    This action was brought upon a promissory note. The General Term held, that the defendant was induced to give the note by false representations and menaces, in settlement of a felony, and that, as the plaintiff was not a bona fide purchaser, without notice, he could not recover.
    
      William Lounsbery, for the appellant.
    
      A. Schoonmaker, Jr., for the respondent.
   Opinion by Boardman, J.

Miller, P. J., and Bockes, J., concurred.

Judgment reversed and new trial granted, costs to abide the event.
