Excerpt from Selections, Vol. 2: Leake's Elements of the Law of Contracts, Finch's Cases on Contracts, on as a Textbook for Law Students

Action by indorsee against indorser on a bill of exchange for 3000L. drawn on the 6th of November, 1867, by one Cooper upon and accepted by one Callow, payable six months after date, and indorsed successively by Cooper, the defendant, J. P. Parker, T. A. Pooley & Co., and A. G. Pooley, to the plaintiff, who became the holder for value (having taken it in part payment of a debt due to him from A. G. Pooley) before it became due, and without notice of any fraud.

ThE pleas traversed the several indorsements, and alleged that the defendants indorsement was obtained from him by fraud.

The cause was tried before Bovill, C. J., at the last spring assizes at Guildford. The defendant, who was a gentleman far advanced in years, swore that the indorsement was not in his handwriting, and that he had never accepted nor indorsed a bill of exchange; but there was evidence that the signature was his; and Callow, who was called as a witness for the plaintiff, stated that he saw the defendant write the indorsement under the following circumstances: - Callow had been secretary to a company engaged in the formation of a railway at Sand-gate, in Kent, in which the defendant (who had property in the neighborhood) was interested; and the defendant had some time previously, at Callow's request, signed a guarantee for 3000L., in order to enable the company to obtain an advance of money from their bankers. Callow took the bill in question (which was drawn and indorsed by Cooper) to the defendant, and asked him to put his name on it, telling him it was a guarantee; whereupon the defendant, in the belief that he was signing a guarantee similar to that which he had before given (and out of which no liability had resulted to him), put his signature on the back of the bill immediately after that of Cooper.
