Syllabus

<p>Witnesses — Impeachment—Laying Foundation. A witness by deposition cannot be impeached by contradictory statements made in a letter claimed to have been written by him, where it was not conceded that he wrote the letter and his attention was not called thereto at the time his deposition was taken; since no sufficient foundation for the impeachment was laid.</p> <p>Bills and Notes- — Stipulation—Attorney’s Fees. Where the space left in a printed form for a note for inserting the amount of the attorney’s fees was left blank by drawing a pen across the blank, the note clearly indicates that no attorney’s fee is to be allowed.</p> <p>Bills and Notes — Bona Fide Purchaser — Evidence—Materiality. Upon an issue as to whether the payee of a note explained upon negotiating it that it would be contested, it is immaterial how or why the explanation came to be given.</p>
