<p>Affidavit of defense — Evasive affidavit — Corporation—Stock subscription.</p> <p>In an action of assumpsit upon a stock subscription, where the subscription paper shows the name of the defendant, the number of shares of stock subscribed and their money value, an affidavit of defense which admits the signature, but denies that the defendant filled out the number of shares is evasive, inasmuch as it does not deny that defendant wrote opposite his name the amount in the money column, thus indicating the par value of the stock for which he subscribed; and a rule for judgment in such case should be made absolute.</p>
