Syllabus
<p>1. The court below being more familiar with its own rules and its practice under them, a specification assigning error in the violation of one of its rules, will not be considered when it is not clearly made to appear that there was such violation.</p> <p>2. An affidavit of defence averring that the indebtedness claimed had been paid by notes given, and that afterward the plaintiffs had agreed to take the amount claimed, in trade, and not to bring suit therefor, is insufficient to prevent summary judgment.</p>
