Opinion

pPratt, J.

There is an entire failure to show that the alleged agreement of defendant to become responsible for the debt of Wyneoop was based upon any consideration. A guaranty, like any other agreement, to be valid, must be based upon a consideration. There was no legal basis to sustain the verdict of the jury, which was properly set aside by the county judge. Order appealed from affirmed, with costs. All concur.
