New York Court of Appeals

Howard Vosburgh, Appellant v. John F. Diefendorf, Respondent

February 25, 1890119 N.Y. 357

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the reversal of the trial court's judgment for the plaintiff, holding that a transferee of a note procured by fraud must prove he is a bona fide purchaser, which the plaintiff failed to do, and therefore he could not recover on the note.
