Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court March 15, 1806 (Eunson v. Healy)

The opinion of the Court was afterwards delivered by

Dana, C. J.

The question arising out of the facts stated by Tuckerman in his answer, and which has been argued at the bar, *is whether a person, who has endorsed a negó- [ *35 ] tiable promissory note, can be held, in virtue of such endorsement, as the trustee of the endorsee ? The words of the statute are plain and comprehensive.
