Warner's Executors v. Spencer

Chief Justice Robertson

delivered the Opinion of the Court.

The circuit court sustained a demurrer to a petition and summons on a promissory note for money; and this writ of error is prosecuted to reverge that judgment.

That endorsement does not appear to have ever constituted any part of tiie contract between the parties, or to have been ever made by either of them for that or any other purpose.

It cannot be made to appear on demurrer to the petition, ‘

_ Judgment reversed, and cause remanded, with instructions to overrule the demurrer.
