Syllabus

<p>1. An affidavit oí defence averring that a written obligation in suit “ has been settled in full and deponent does not owe to the plaintiffs one penny, .... the sum called for being paid and settled in full,” is too vague and indefinite to prevent the entry of summary judgment.</p> <p>2. But an affidavit averring the payment of a definite sum on account of the obligation a short time after it was given, the payment of the balance in a few days thereafter, a subsequent admission by plaintiffs of full payment, and that by reason of affiant’s absence from home the exact dates could not be given, will be held sufficient.</p>
