• 63 Fla. 119

Syllabus

<p>1. A declaration against a .domestic corporation upon a note made by it in the county but payable elsewhere is not defective for failing to allege that the corporation had an office in that county.</p> <p>2. The right of a domestic corporation to be sued only in a county where it has an office, is not jurisdictional, and the fact must appear and be claimed, before error can be predicated upon a deprival of that right.</p> <p>3. In an action upon a promissory note of a corporation, under the single plea of payment, the omission of the words “Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer,” from the note attached to the declaration is immaterial.</p> <p>4. An assignee of a negotiable instrument for a pre-existing debt is a holder for value.</p>
