Head Matter:
John Kohlman v. B. F. Ludwig.
The "holder of a promissory note received for value in good faith before maturity, cannot be affected by any pretended equities between the drawer and endorser.
APPEAL by defendant from the District Court of Jefferson, Clarke, J.
W. L. Stansbury, for appellee.
T. A. Bartlett for appellant.

Opinion:
The judgment of the court (Rost, J. absent) was pronounced by
Slidell, J.
The evidence shows that the plaintiff became the holder of the promissory note for value, before maturity, in good faith, and without notice of the pretended equities between the maker and prior endorser. Whether the alleged equities existed or not is, therefore, immaterial.
It is therefore decreed that the judgment of the district court be affirmed, with costs.
