New York Court of Common Pleas January 15, 1852 (Merritt v. Cornell)

By the Court. Ingraham, J.

This action is upon a promissory note in the usual form, but there is a seal annexed to the defendant’s name on the note, and the action is debt. Upon the trial, the plaintiff proved the handwriting of the defendant to the note, and rested. The defendant moved for a nonsuit, on the ground that he should also have proved the sealing.
