The state, upon the relation of J. D. Lankford as bank commissioner, sued the Sapulpa Company to recover a certain sum on a promissory note alleged to have been executed on its behalf by one Phillips, its secretary, which was among the assets of the Farmers’ & Merchants’ Bank of Sapulpa at the time it was taken over- by the bank commissioner. The answer denies the authority of said Phillips to execute the note, and further alleges that said note was wholly without consideration. Trial was had to a jury, which resulted in a verdict for plaintiff, and defendant prosecutes error.
