Supreme Judicial Court of Maine June 15, 1834 (Barney v. Norton)

Weston J.

delivered the opinion of the Court, at Cumberland, in August ensuing.

The note in controversy, having been indorsed to the plaintiff some years after it was payable, if not then recoverable by the payee, it cannot be recovered by the plaintiff. The defendant is entitled to the benefit of any off-set, which at the time of the in-dorsement existed against the payee.
