Opinion

No. 26,799.

August 3, 1928.

Payee's indorsement of notes without recourse does not indicate bad faith. [Reporter]

Action in the district court for Brown county to recover upon two $200 promissory notes made by the defendant to one James T. Phillips and by him sold to the plaintiff. The court directed a verdict for the plaintiff, and defendant appealed from an order, Gislason, J. denying his motion for a new trial. Affirmed.

Albert Hauser, for appellant.

Mueller Erickson, for respondent.



Appeal by defendant from an order denying his motion for a new trial.

All questions raised by this appeal are disposed of by the opinion in the case of Olsen v. Hoffmann, 175 Minn. 287, 221 N.W. 10. The fact that the notes were indorsed by the payee "without recourse," does not indicate bad faith. Collins v. McDowell, 65 Minn. 110, 67 N.W. 845; Park v. Hudson, 154 Minn. 471, 479, 192 N.W. 112.

Order affirmed.
