• 78 Ill. 380

Syllabus

<p>1. Indorsement in blank. Possession of a promissory note indorsed in blank is evidence of title.</p> <p>2. Assignment—by and to whom. No reason is perceived why a bank, through its agent and president, may not, by indorsement, transfer the legal title of a promissory note to such president.</p> <p>3. Affidavit of claim—when sufficient to require affidavit of merits with a plea. Where the caption to an affidavit was, “State of Illinois, Cook county, ss.,” and the jurat was signed by one purporting to be a notary public, it was objected that it did not appear of what county or State the officer was a notary, or whether the affidavit was made before him in Illinois or some other State: Reid, the affidavit was sufficient in the respect objected to.</p>
