Schwabe, C.J.1. The history of this matter is so clearly stated in the judgment of Coutts Trotter, J., that it is unnecessary for me to repeat it and I have nothing to add to his statement of the facts except as to the plaintiff's title and I will deal with that first.2. The plaintiff is the assignee of one Mukund Lal who is the direct lineal descendant of Madhu Sahai who, in the year 1845, had issued to him a document called a promissory-note of the Tanjore debt No. 307.
