Supreme Court of Louisiana April 15, 1856 (Bullitt v. Hewitt)

Spofford, J.

We do not think the defendants stand precisely in the position of Mitchell, from whom they received the bill accepted by the plaintiffs.

Mitchell owed the defendants an antecedent debt larger than the bill. He sent the hill to them, before its maturity, with instructions to collect and place proceeds to the credit of his account.
