Syllabus

<p>Negotiable instruments — Promissory notes — Defenses—Failure of consideration — Evidence—Relevancy.</p> <p>1. In an action on promissory notes given by defendant in renewal of other notes which it contended were without consideration where there was evidence that at defendant’s request plaintiff had purchased a machine for defendant for shipment to defendant’s principal and that defendant gave the original notes to plaintiff in payment therefor the court made no error in submitting the case to the jury.</p> <p>2. In such case copies of advertisements describing defendant as special agent for the sale of a certain other appliance had no bearing upon the defense that defendant was plaintifE’s agent for the sale of the machine and the exclusion of such evidence was not error.</p>
