Wisconsin Supreme Court August 15, 1879 (Smith v. Ehnert)

Taylor, J.

Upon the pleadings in the case there were really but two issues to be tried — whether there was any consideration for the note, and whether the defendant’s signature had been obtained thereto by fraud or misrepresentation. And a third issue was made upon the production of the note in evidence on the trial; that is, whether the alteration appearing upon the face of the note was.
