Syllabus

<p>Judgment (54)—Notwithstanding Verdict. Judgment n. o. v. should not he granted unless it can be said as a matter of law that there is neither evidence nor reasonable inference from evidence to sustain the verdict.</p> <p>Bills and Notes (141)—Bona Fide Purchasers—Good Faith— Notice of Infirmities—Evidence—Sufficiency. Whether plaintiff was a bona fide holder of a note, given for stock in a company, within the negotiable instrument law, Rem. Comp. Stat., §§ 3443, 3447, is a question for the jury, where the agent of the corporation procured the note by fraud, and there was some proof of confidential business relations between the agent and holder, who allowed the agent to falsely represent to the maker that the holder was the attorney for the company.</p>
