| Buckmaster sued Mason in an action of assumpsit to recover a promissory note. The circuit court ruled for Buckmaster, and Mason appealed to the Illinois Supreme Court, which affirmed the judgment of the lower court. Mason objected to the lack of profert of the note and absence of a stated consideration. The Supreme Court agreed that profert wasn't necessary with writings not under seal and that there was no requirement to state consideration in a case involving an assigned note. |
