Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>1. Signatures to obligations are not mere ornaments. If a party can read, it behooves him to examine an instrument before signing it; and if he cannot read, it behooves; him to have the instrument read to him and listen attentively whilst this is being done.</p> <p>2. One who seeks to avoid the effect of his written obligation upon the ground that its contents have been misrepresented to him, must support his claim by something more appreciable than his own uncorroborated testimony.</p>
