Chapel v. Washburn

“ $160. Lafayette, June 6, 1856. Thirty days after date, for value received, we promise to pay Noah Washburn 160 dollars, with interest from date. [Signed] Thomas Chapel, Thomas Wood.”

*394Reply to the second paragraph, that there was a good and valid consideration, &c.

The issues thus made were submitted to the Court. Finding in favor of the plaintiff for 167 dollars. New trial refused, and judgment, &c.
