Littlefield v. Storey

| N.Y. Sup. Ct. | Aug 15, 1808

Per Curiam.

This is a clear case. It has been decided, that this court will recognise and protect the rights of an assignee of a chose in action.

In the case of Andrews v. Beecher,^* * it was held, that a release by the obligee of a bond, after an assignment* and notice, was a nullity.^† : 1

Judgment for the plaintiff.

* Decided in July, 1800, and recognised in the case of Wardell v. Eden, 1 Johns. 532. in note.
