Syllabus

<p>Corporations — Contracts—Execution of Note — Officers—General Powers. There is sufficient prima facie evidence of the execution of a note by a corporation, where it is shown that the note was given for obligations of the corporation, and was executed by an officer to whom the trustees had intrusted the sole management of its financial affairs.</p> <p>Appeal — Review—Harmless Error — Witnesses—Impeachment. It is not prejudicial error to sustain objections to questions tending to impeach a party’s own witness, claimed to be prejudiced, where he had in effect fully answered a similar question, and the facts were otherwise established so that his evidence would not have changed the result.</p> <p>New Trial. — Notice of Hearing — Necessity. The statute does not require formal three days’ notice of the hearing of a motion for a new trial to be served upon the party making the motion.</p>
