Opinion

majority opinion

The Chancellor.

The note was negotiable, and had been endorsed by the payees. To give this Court jurisdiction, it is not necessary that it should have been lost before it was due. In Rowley v. Ball, 3 Cow. R. 303, and Poole v. Smith, 1 Holt R. 144, it was held a recovery could not be had at law on a lost note, although it was past due when it was lost. Decree for complainant.
