Lane, J. An alteration of a bond with the consent of the parties to it, does not vitiate it: (9 Cranch. 37.) In this state, it has been decided that a blank with a signature, seal, and authority to fill up,' is void: (1 O.R. 372.) But mere money bonds, executed with blanks, filled up before negotiated, and received in good faith, are to be treated as commercial or business paper, and the delivery in blank to a party, as an authority to fill up: (5 O. R. 222; 5 Mass. R. 508.) This bond is still in blank, not filled up, and the real question is, can you enlarge the substance of it, by mere inuendo?
We think you cannot. What would be the effect, if the blank were filled up by permission of the Common Pleas, or otherwise, we leave uutouched, as the question is not before us. The demurrer is sustained.
