Syllabus.
he had been the plaintiff, then, he having assigned the note
to Eason, Eason was entitled to recover for him whatever he,
Rgaltand, would have, as plaintiff, recovered for himself. That
was the legal effect of the assignment of the note, whether it
was based upon a valuable consideration or not, so far as the
defendant was concerned, and the jury should have been so instructed
in response to their question. The assignment of the
note was not contested either in the pleading or in the evidence,
and therefore it was legally impossible for the jury to
find, as by their question they supposed they could, that " the
"note is not Easons," for the purposes of this suit, so far as the
defendant was concerned. This illegal assumption, in volved
in the question of the jury, was not corrected, but rather confirmed
by the answer of the judge.
Believing that this charge in response to the question was
sufficient to mislead the jury from the real, to an immaterial
issue, upon which the case was made to depend, we think it a
good ground for a reversal of the judgment.
Judgment reversed and cause remanded.
Reversed and remanded.
