Purdon v. Carrington

31 Ohio St. (N.S.) 168
Ohio Supreme Court·Decided December 15, 1877·Published

Opinion

By the Court.

A mortgage given to secure the payment of a promissory note is not a “written instrument for the payment of money only,” within the meaning of ■section 118 of the code. And a cause of action, in a pleading, founded upon such mortgage, can not be verified by an agent or attorney of the party, on the ground that such instrument is in his possession.

Motion overruled.
