The note was admitted in evidence without any objection that it was not properly stamped. Being so admitted, the objection could not be raised by an instruction after the cause had gone to the jury. The proper time for such objection is when the instrument is offered in evidence; if made afterward it will not be heard. 2 Parsons on Notes and Bills, Appendix, p. 20; Edwards on the Stamp Act (2d ed. 1863), 235; 3 Parsons on Contracts, 340, 343.
