Brewster v. Baker

This was a suit by the appellee against one Willison Hisey and the appellant, Brewster, upon their joint and several promissory note. On June 5th, 1882, judgment for want of an answer was rendered against the defendant Hisey for the amount due on the note. Afterwards the appellant, Brewster, answered in a single special paragraph, to which the appellee replied by á general denial. The issues joined were tried by the court, and a finding was made for the appellee for the amount of the note and interest. Over appellant’s motion for a new trial, judgment was rendered on the finding.
