Head Matter:
[*] RIKER against CORLEY. [663]
The action below was brought by Corley, as assignee of Cyrus Baldwin, against Riker, as maker of a note of hand; the note was given by Eiker to Baldwin, and indorsed in blank. It was assigned for error, that it did not appear that Corley had any interest in the note.
Halsey, for plaintiff.

Opinion:
By the Court.
The indorsement in blank was an authority for the indorsee to overwrite an assignment, and this might have been done even at the trial; but as it was not done, it did not appear that Corley had any interest in the note.
Judgment reversed.
