Action by appellant on two promissory notes, of the aggregate amount of $500, executed by appellee. Answer in three paragraphs. The first was a general denial, the second, a plea of payment, and the third set up the discharge of appellee in bankruptcy, and that appellant filed the notes as claims and received his distributive share of the proceeds of the bankrupt estate, amounting to $20.50. A reply admits the truth of the third paragraph of answer, and alleges that the debt was revived by a new promise after discharge in bankruptcy. Trial by jury resulted in a judgment for appellee.
