The evidence warranted the jury in finding that ‍​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‍both the defendants assented to and ratified the note in its altered form and thereby agreed ‍​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‍to pay the same to the lawful holder, for the sufficient consideration of an agreement ‍​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‍to forbear and an actual forbearance by those who apparently had the actual control of ‍​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‍the note and the equitable interest therein.
