1 Ga. App. 63 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1907
Leffier Co. brought suit against Dickerson upon, a. promissory note made by him, dated March 25, 1904, promising to pay Leffier Co. “on or before the 1st day of November,” without specifying a year, a certain sum of money, for the purchase-price of certain fertilizers, stated in' the note to have been received .and to be used on the lands cultivated by the maker for the year named. At the trial the defendant proved to dismiss the plaintiff’s action upon the ground “that the note'sued upon did not state upon the first of what November the same became due;” which motion was sustained by the court, over the objection of the plaintiff, who offered to prove by parol testimony “that the intention of the parties was that said note was to be due on the 1st day of November, 1904, and that the ‘1904’ was omitted from the contract by mistake.” The court refused to allow the plaintiff to make this parol proof as to when the note was intended by the parties to become due. The plaintiff excepted to both rulings.
Judgment reversed.
