The suit being in equity, the plaintiff could properly ask a judgment for the entire indebtedness, including unmatured instalments of purchase-money; and the court did not err in overruling the demurrer challenging the claim as to such instalments.

3. The assignment of error on striking, the answer, not being insisted on in the brief of counsel for the plaintiff in error, is treated as abandoned.
