        "text": "Tayiok, Chief-Justice,\ndelivered the opinion of the Court:\nNo particular form of words is necessary to make an indorsement j but the name of the indorser must appear upon the bill, and it must be signed by him, or by some person authorized by him for that purpose. Indorse-ments, however, are of two kinds, general and restrictive, the latter precluding the person to whom it is made, from transferring the instrument over to another, so as to give him a right of action, either against the person imposing the restriction, or against any of the preceding parties. Such an indorsement may give a bare authority to the indorsee to receive the money for the indorser; as if it say, \u201c pay the money to such a one for my use,\u201d or use any expressions which necessarily imply that he does not mean to transfer his interest in the bill or note, but merely to give a power to receive the money. This is the case before us. It is evident,\u2019 from the indorsement, that William Drew paid no valuable consideration for the note, and therefore could not sue the indorsers, nor indorse it to any other person who could sue either them or the preceding parties. The indorsement is restrained to him merely, and is to the same amount as if it had been, \u201c pay the within to my use,\u201d or \u201c I indorse the within to William Drew, to collect for me.\u201d These in-dorsements confine the bill in the hands of the indorsee to the very purpose for which they were made, the in-dorser not meaning, either to make himself liable, or to enable the indorsee to raise money on the bill. The action in this case can well be maintained in the name of \"William Drew.",

Hut the indorsement beingfor a special purpose, F. cannot transfer the bill to another person, so as to give to that person a right of action against D, or any of the. preceding parties. The indorsement confines the bill in the hands of the indorsee, to the very purpose for which the indorsement was made.\nA bill of exchange was drawn by Defeiidant\u2019s intestate, on Samuel Jackson, of Ncw-York, in favor of Conway and Fortune Whittle, and protested for non-acceptance. On the bill there was an indorsement in the words following, to-wit: \u201c Sent to William Drew, Esquire, to collect for Conway and F. Whittle.\u201d This action was brought by William Drew, as indorsee; and it was submitted to the Court, whether the indorsement transferred the interest to Willjam Drew, so as to enable him to maintain an action in his own name against the drawer."
