What persuades
He preserved a holder's claim against a properly notified later indorser even when earlier indorsers had not received notice.
“he preserves his security against him, C, even though he he do not notify A and B.”
He measured desertion at the time suit began and required the statutory period of willful abandonment against the complaining spouse.
“had the defendant, when this suit was begun, been guilty of two years willful desertion and abandonment against the party complaining.”
Cautions
He treated knowing concealment of juror ineligibility as grounds to vacate the verdict.
“fraudulently concealed the fact.”
