Roquemore v. Alloway

33 Tex. 461 | Tex. | 1870

Walker, J.

An illegal contract can acquire no validity by transfer before or after maturity. The note sued on was given in aid of the rebellion. (See Story on Bills, § 198, 415, 1 Parsons on Contracts, 242; Kent’s Commentaries, vol. 3, page 80.)

The judgment is reversed and cause dismissed, at the cost of the appellee.
