22 Ga. App. 210 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1918
1. Where the only consideration expressed in a promissory note is “value received,” inquiry into the consideration, and proof of what the consideration in fact was, does not have the effect of varying an unconditional contract in writing. Either want or failure of consideration may be shown in defense to a suit on such a note, though the note be under seal. Toller v. Hewitt, 12 Ga. App. 496 (77 S. E. 650); Lacey v. Hutchinson, 5 Ga.
