Hodges v. Black
Hodges v. Black, 76 Mo. 537 (1882)
Headnotes
1. Practice: equity. When the answer, after admitting the plaintiff ’s prima 'faeie case, sets up a purely equitable defense, this converts the case wholly into an equitable proceeding.
2. The adjustment of partnership accounts is a matter of equitable jurisdiction.
.3. Practice: weight op evidence. Where there is substantial evidence to support a finding, appellate courts will not inquire as to its weight.
4. negotiable Paper: innocent holder. Semble that in Missouri, negotiable paper taken without notice before maturity, as absolute payment of an antecedent debt, and not merely as collateral, though the debt thus discharged is a simple contract debt, and no security is given up, places the holder in the position of an innocent holder for value, not affected by any equities between the original parties to the note. *
