BILLS AND NOTES — DEBTORS AND CREDITORS.
    [Hamilton Circuit Court,
    1899.]
    King, Haynes, and Parker, JJ.
    John O’Keefe v. Mary Mahoney.
    Right to Recover on a Note Taking Property Which Would Have Gone to Other Creditors.
    The right to recover on a note cannot be affected by the fact that payee, in securing and accepting the note, and mortgage, knew that the effect would be to take property that would have gone to other creditors, bad payee not secured or enforced her claim.
    Error to the Court of Common Pleas of Hamilton county.
   Haynes, J.

In this case the judgment of the court of common pleas will be affirmed.

Conceding that there was a good consideration for which the note was given, we are unable to see any error in the charge of the court. The real issue in the case was whether the note was given for a good consideration, to-wit., for moneys owing from the maker of the note to her; and we think that her right to recover on the note cannot be affected, even if she knew the effect of taking the note and mortgage to secure the same would be to take property that would have gone to other creditors If she had not secured or enforced her claim.

C. B. Matthews, for plaintiff in error,
