New York Court of Appeals July 1, 1854 (Weisser's Administrators v. Denison)

Allen, J.

The jury, by their verdict, pronounced the checks upon which the money in dispute was paid to be forgeries, and it is not claimed that the intestate, Weisser, after he had personal knowledge of the facts, did any act by which he made them his own. After the forgeries were discovered by him he did not in any manner recognize Harlin, the forger, as his agent for drawing the checks.
