Syllabus

<p>Equity. Remedy at law after alteration of one of joint signatures.</p> <p>The holder and lender on a note, signed by a drug company through its president, and by an individual, had an adequate remedy at law on the note as signed and delivered to him by the president of the company, even though the individual signer could defeat recovery, because he had signed the note jointly with the president of the drug company as an individual only, while the president had written in both his signature, the name of the drug company and after the name the ábbreviation “pres,” this fact not affording the holder a remedy in equity, against the individual signer.</p>
