Motion by defendant to change the venne. This motion was denied on a defect in defendant’s affidavit ; that part of the affidavit which swore to merits, and the part objected to, read as follows: “ that the said defendants have a good and substantial defence upon the merits to the plaintiff’s demand on the promissory note, on which this action is brought, as this deponent is advised by their said counsel, &c.”
