1. Where by mutual agreement a note was given by J. to A., the latter having accepted the former as a substitute for his original debtor, W., this was a novation, and the debt from W. to A. was abrogated. Ferst v. Bank, 111 Ga. 232.

3. Where there had been a novation and substitution as above set forth, an ex-ecutory agreement by A. to surrender this note and take another from J. for
Judgment reversed.
