1. The question whether the draft upon Hitchcock, Shaw & Co. was received by the plaintiff in payment of his note, was submitted to the jury upon substantially conflicting evidence, and will not, therefore, be examined into here.

We think it unnecessary to discuss other points made by the appellant. We find no error in the record.
Judgment and order affirmed.
