The case of Julian McCarty and John Wynn, Administrators of Enoch McCarty, Deceased, Plaintiffs in Error, v. Guernsey Y. Roots, Erastus P. Coe, and John H. Aydelotte was a legal dispute regarding a bill of exchange.
Roots, Coe, and Aydelotte, citizens of Ohio, brought a suit against Enoch McCarty, a citizen of Indiana, regarding a $4,500 bill of exchange drawn by Tyner & Childers on Richard Tyner of New York in favor of Enoch McCarty. The bill was allegedly endorsed to Roots, Coe, and Aydelotte as collateral security for a pre-existing debt of Richard Tyner. After Enoch McCarty's death, his administrators, Julian McCarty and John Wynn, became involved in the legal proceedings. The case was eventually brought before the Supreme Court of the United States, where the court ruled on various aspects of the case.
