1Opinion of the CourtHumphreys, J.

Appellee, W. H. Wilson, instituted suit against appellants, Joe Troxler and E. L. Dixon, in the Randolph circuit court on a promissory note for $200.00 and interest, executed on the 8th day of July, 1916, and due on November 15, 1916.

Appellants pleaded a want of consideration in that appellee induced appellant Troxler to buy a team, wagon and harness upon the guarantee that the horses were sound, and that the gray horse purchased was not even eleven years old; whereas, the bay or black horse had pneumonia at the time, of which it soon died, and the gray horse was twenty-four years of age.
