Court Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Full case name THOMAS GOLD, Plaintiff in Review vs. JOSHUA EDDY, Administrator | ||
Gold v. Eddy, 1 Mass. 1 (1804), was the first recorded case in the official reports of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.
Ruling
According to the reporter's summation:
In an action by the endorser against the promisor of a promissory note negotiated subsequent to the day of payment, the defendant may go into such evidence as he would have been entitled to had the action been brought by the original promisee. The deposition of a person used in a former trial is competent evidence in a review, though the deponent is a party to the suit, having become administrator of one of the original parties.
