California Supreme Court September 26, 1894, No. 18300 (Bouche v. Louttit)

Temple, C.

This action is upon a non-negotiable promissory note executed June 1, 1881, by defendant to one H. E'. Williamson. Defendant was not indebted to Williamson, but the note was intended as collateral security for the obligation of D. and A. Bolte, who on that day borrowed from Williamson the sum of eleven hundred dollars.
