JUDGE NEWMAN, of the Sixth judicial
Circuit Of Wisconsin, rendered Gecis-
ion in common law recently at White
hall concerning the liability of signers
Of joint note. It was in q case whore
A. F. Hensel, administrator of the eS-
tate OF Gottlieb Bielor, sued Thomas
Of S21O, with interest, amounting in
all to S275. All parties are rest
dents of Trempealeau County. After
the note was due Hencel received
| some interest from Wittwer, which he
Endorsed on the note, without receiving
Imog's Endorsement on the back of the
note at same time for its continuance.
Wittwer not being good for the amount
Hensel sued Jmog for the note, but
| Judge Newman held that imo9 was re-
leased from payment because his In
dorsement for It's continuance did not
appear on the back Of the note at the
time of the Endorsement of interest
from Wittwer, and Hensel could only
| recover from Wittwer. That is to say,
the holder of joint note can collect
ceives the first indOsement, and the

tinuance of the note by writing on the
back at the time Of the Endorsement to
