Syllabus
<p>Pleading — Inconsistent Defenses.</p> <p>The rule that a party who denies his signature to a document upon which he- is being sued is cut off from every other defense applies equally in the case where the document is being urged by way of defense. The sole question then is as to the genuineness of the signature, and any peculiarities in the document which might tend to show that it had been altered or tampered with become immaterial.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
