1st. The case of Ewing vs. Miller Mo. Rep. A. D. 1822, page 235, plea of fraud is good as well against the assignee as the obligee of a bond or note. See also statute of 1835, page 105, sec. 3.

This case is similar to the case of Pemberton and Staples just decided, and must go in the same way. The other judges concurring, the judgment of the circuit court in reversed, and the cause remanded.
