1Opinion of the CourtJustice Barnes
This is an action on a promissory note, tried before the court without a jury. The finding was against defendant in the sum of $5,824, and from the judgment entered thereon this appeal is brought.
The action is based on the theory of defendant’s liability as a maker of the note. The theory of the defense is that he was an indorser and as such not liable because of failure to give him .notice of default of payment.
