Opinion

But the Court (Morsell, J., absent,) refused the new trial. They thought the memorandum was evidence that the plaintiff never paid the defendant any thing for the note, and therefore the plaintiff could recover nothing from the defendant unless upon the ground that the defendant had agreed to become joint surety with the plaintiff; and that the jury did right in finding a verdict for only half of the amount of the note.

But see the next case.
