Description
Walter M. Keene and his wife brought this action against Fred Harling and Morris Blum for the balance due on a promissory note given as part of the purchase price for a business involving coin-operated machines. Defendants' sole defense was that the sales agreement was illegal. The trial court found that the transfer of a minor part of the consideration given by the Keenes in exchange for the note was, in fact, illegal, but held that the illegal portion was severable from the remaining consideration. Judgment was therefore entered in favor of the plaintiffs for the amount due on the note, less the value of the illegal consideration. Defendant Harling alone appealed.
