Annotations

JUDICIAL DECISIONS Promissory note given by municipal corporation is invalid even in the hands of a bona fide endorsee for value before the note became due and although all but one of the notes had been paid this

does not prevent the corporation from setting up the illegality of the contract in defense to a suit on the note. Town of Wadley v. Lancaster, 124 Ga. 354, 52 S.E. 335 (1905).
