On Rehearing.

[3] Whatever the note sued on may have been called in the complaint, the setting out of the note in hsec verba showed what it was, and the case of Cairns v. Daniel, 16 Ala. App. 218, 77 South. 56, does not, in our opinion, sustain appellant’s contention. In that case the note was not set out in the complaint. The introduction of the note in evidence did support the complaint.

The application for rehearing is overruled.

Application overruled.
