Syllabus

<p>Judgment — Judgment note — Evidence.</p> <p>Where a. judgment note for $1,000 is given to an attorney as trustee, and the latter subsequently assigns the judgment entered on the note to his client, a married woman, and the evidence shows that the intent of giving the note was to secure the payment to the married woman of a weekly allowance by her husband, and the attorney testifies that the note was given also to secure the payment of $200, attorney’s fees, but the preponderance of the testimony is against such contention, the judgment should be opened unless the plaintiff agrees to reduce the amount of the judgment to $800, and also agrees that the judgment shall be held exclusively as collateral security for the payment of the weekly allowance.</p>
