Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court October 15, 1843 (Knowles v. Parker)

Shaw, C. J.

The only defence in this action is defect of consideration, and constructive notice thereof to the plaintiff. The note having been indorsed after it was due, if there was any defect of consideration, there is no doubt that the plaintiff is affected >y constructive notice, and that it is as good a defence *32against him as it would have been against the promisee.
