In the suit against QrAl personally for
a check drawn by Quay officially, us the
Republican state chairman, the Phladcl-
phia court holds that Quay is not liable
individually. Further the court says 1t
is unnecessary now to decide whether an
action would lie upon this note against the
members of the state central committee,
who arc not expressly named at parties in
the instrument. However that may be- it
is perfectly clear that they may be sued for
the consideration for which it was given,
and the check may be given in evidence as
the measure of damages. For the indcbt-
cdncss for which the check was given
they are responsible upon the principle of
Eichbaum vs.. Irons. 6 w. 4 s.. g., and
the defendant is included in this RESPONSE
bility for he was a member of the COM
mttec and its head. But lc has Il right
for his own protection to compel the plain
tiff to join the others with him as co-defcnd-
! ants.
