Opinion

Per Curiam.

The point relied on is that an action can not be maintained by the holder of a negotiated note simply payable to bearer. We find the practice to be otherwise in Philadelphia; and it would be strange if it were not, as those parts of the statute of Anne which are applicable to the subject, are in as full force here as in England. We therefore see no error in any part of the record.

Judgment affirmed.
