Opinion:
IN an action on a note of hand, the Court decided that a receipt executed by the plaintiff to the defendant was good and available in defence ; although it appeared that the note had been pledged by the plaintiff to a third person to secure the payment of a debt, and although the defendant had notice prior to the execution of the discharge, or payment of the debt.
