Appeal from tbe Circuit Court of Warren county; the Hon. Arthur A. Smith, Judge, presiding.
This was an action of assumpsit, brought by Nathan G. Harding and Alvin Bryan against John W. Dilley, as in-dorser of a. promissory note made by one Seneca S. Lake, to defendant, and by him indorsed to the plaintiffs. Upon a trial in the circuit court judgment was rendered in favor of the defendant, from which the plaintiffs appeal.
Messrs. Kidder & Noecboss, for the appellants.
Messrs. StewaRt & Phelps, for the appellee.

Per Curiam :
In this case, the seventh instruction for the defendant was, that the indorser of a note could not be held without demand and notice. This, under our statute, was erroneous.
The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
Judgment reversed.
