Napton, Judge,

delivered the opinion of the court.

This case is ‍​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‍in all respects like the case of Snadon’s Adm’r vs. Nickell (42 Mo., 169).

In a suit on a note, ‍​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‍the only defense was, that the defendant did not execute it, and there was a general verdict ‍​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‍for the plaintiff. On this verdict the court entered a judgment’ for the amount of the note ‍​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‍and interest, which it is plain, on the authority of‘the case cited, could not be done.

The judgment is ‍​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‍therefore reversed and the cause remanded.

The other judges concur.
