Hefner v. Dawson

This was an action of assumpsit, brought by appellee against appellant, upon a promissory note purporting to have been made by appellant and- one Co man.

Appellant, by plea verified by affidavit, denied the execution of the note; the cause was tried by the court without the intervention of a jury, and judgment rendered against the defendant, from which he prosecutes this appeal. It is not claimed that appellant did make the note, but it is contended that, by his acts and admissions, he is concluded from denying that fact.

This case, in its main features, is much like the one of Hefner v.…
