Roquemore v. Alloway ( 1870 )

Walker, J.

An illegal contract can acquire no validity by transfer before or after maturity. The note sued on was given in aid of the rebellion. (See Story on Bills, § 198, 415, 1 Parsons on Contracts, 242; Kent’s Commentaries, vol. 3, page 80.)

The judgment is reversed and cause dismissed, at the cost of the appellee.
