An endorsee of a note, having knowledge of such facts as should put him on inquiry as to the validity of the endorsement, is charged with a knowledge of what he would have learned by such inquiry.
STANLEY, J.
The instructions requested were properly refused They lacked an essential qualification. If the plaintiffs had reason able cause to believe that N. did not assent to the endorsement, or if the circumstances at the time they took the note were such as to put them on inquiry whether N. assented to the endorsement, they were bound to inquire, and would be charged with knowledge of all they would have learned on such inquiry. Warren v. Swett, 31 N.H. 332; Dow v. Sayward, 14 N.H. 9. The instructions given were correct. Wagner v. Freschl, 56 N.H. 495.
Judgment on the verdict.
SMITH, J., did not sit.
