Joseph P. Bradley, Bird v. Louisiana State Bank — Opinion of the Court
“ No suit was ever brought against the maker of the note, he being wholly without credit, as to the payment of any debt when it became payable; and as to him the note is now prescribed. Neither the notary, nor any of the officers of the bank or branch, knew of Doyal's death when the note was protested, nor does it appear that it was known to the testator of the plaintiffs. This suit was brought to recover the amount of the note from the defendant, by reason of its alleged negligence in not giving notice to the executors of the indorser, Doyal, whereby the liability of his estate was lost. ”
