Illinois Supreme Court November 15, 1865 (Corgan v. Frew)

Mr. Chief Justice Walker

delivered the opinion of the Court:

It is insisted, that the instrument read ifi evidence is not a promissory note, and consequently was not assignable, and was therefore inadmissible in evidence to fix the amount of the recovery. It fails to state in the body of the instrument whether it is for five hundred dollars, or for that number of commodities.
