GOLDTHWAITE, J.

These pleas amount to nothing more than ‍‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‍a denial of an execution of the note sued on, in such a manner as ‍‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‍to be binding on the defendant. It is an attempt to cast on the plaintiff ‍‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‍the oy.us of proving the execution of the note without making the affidavit required to be made ‍‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‍by the statute. [Clay’s Digest, 340, § 15?.] As the pleas were not supported by affidavit, ‍‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‍they were properly stricken out on motion.

Judgment affirmed.
