Indiana Supreme Court June 16, 1858 (Helfer v. Jelly)

Hanna, J.

This was a suit commenced before a justice of the peace on a promissory note. Judgment for the defendant. Appeal to the Common Pleas Court; trial by the Court, and judgment for the defendant.

There was no answer filed. From the evidence admitted and placed upon record by a bill of exceptions, the defense attempted to be made thereby appears to have been a failure of consideration.
