The opinion of the Court was delivered by
This action, commenced June 21st, 1894, was to recover a debt originally evidenced by a promissory note executed by the defendant to the plaintiffs’ intestate, J. E. Hill, April 27th, 1885, for $3,915.86, payable one day after its date. The complaint declared on the note, credited February 18, 1888, with two credits, aggregating $587.94, as a first cause of action; and as a second cause of action, alleged (1) the execution of the note; (2) the payments aggregating $587.94, February 18, 1888, and the promise by defendant to pay plaintiffs’ intestate the said indebtedness; (3) written acknowledgment and promise to pay said debt made in 1891 by defendant to plaintiffs; (4) the death of J. E. Hill, the payee named in the note, and the appointment and qualification of plaintiffs as his administrators; (5) that defendant was absent from the State
From the judgment entered on the verdict in favor of plaintiffs, the defendant appeals on numerous grounds. These we will not attempt to consider in detail, but will under general heads substantially cover the material questions presented.
Without going into fuller consideration of the many grounds of appeal, we deem it sufficient to say that, upon a careful consideration of the grounds presented, we find nothing in the record which would justify a reversal of the judgment below.
The judgment of the Circuit Court is affirmed.
