New York Supreme Court September 7, 1863 (Hawley v. Griswold)

Miller J.

The principal question presented in the case at bar is, whether the indorsement of the $260 due on the wood contracts upon the note, was due by the direction and consent of James S. Griswold, and was a payment by him which prevents his interposing the defense of the statute of limitations. The money thus indorsed was due from the plaintiff to the defendants, Sherman & James.S.
