COMMERCIAL LAw.-Among the cases ar
gued before the District Court Of Appeals ut
its late session in this place, was one OF co'Is''
deyablc Importance to the Mercantile c"nmu-
nifty. We refer to the case ni Jones fs .reen
on an appeal from the Judgment Of the Circuit
Court Of SpotSylvania
The main point was whcther in JOINT ac'
ton under the statute Of Virginia against the
drawe. and cndorscr of a protested negotiable
note one of the co-detendantS against whom an
Office Judgment had been finally entered in the
canse m 4 previous term OF the Court, could be
admitted to testify 10 the invnldation of the
note The Circnit Court excluded the egi'
dence. The case WAS then argued before the
District Court. and was decided, without dis
sent, in favor of the appellee (Green).thus
confirming the judgment Of the Circuit Court
This is the first adjudication of this most
important point by an appellate court since the
Code oi Virginia gave the right OF separate
judgments in joint actions,
