Supreme Court of New Hampshire January 15, 1871 (Clark v. Whitaker)

Smith, J.

Southard v. Porter, 43 N. H. 379, is an authority for the defendant. Two subsequent decisions in this country (Lancaster National Bank v. Taylor, 100 Mass. 18; Haskell v. Mitchell, 53 Maine, 468) and one in England (Whistler v. Forster, 14 C. B. (N. S.) 248) are to the same effect; — see, also, Gilbert v. Sharp, 2 Lansing 412.
