Opinion
The plaintiff below took the note, after it had become due, and subject, therefore, to every defence which existed against it, in the hands of the original payee. This case falls within the principle laid down in Bunn v. Piker, (4 Johns. Rep. 426.) that a bet involving an inquiry into the validity of the election of the governor, was void, on principles of policy. The, judgment below must be reversed.
