Supreme Court of Georgia June 15, 1860 (Rutherford v. Newson)

By the Court.

Lyon, J.,

delivering the opinion.

The defendant in error, who was plaintiff in the action, sold and warranted the negro to be sound. The notice, therefore, of the consideration of the note to him was positive and direct. He could not be an innocent purchaser without notice. That principle had nothing, whatever, to do with the case.
