Virginia v. Turner

1 Cranch 261 | U.S. Circuit Court for the District of District of Columbia | 1805

THE COURT

refused to give the instruction, because it was not a bill of exchange, and being payable out of a particular fund, was not negotiable; and there is no evidence of the terms or conditions on which it was received by Russel, nor that it was agreed to be received by Russel on any terms; and it being merely an order by the principal on his deputy, is no more than an order on himself.
