Syllabus

<p>Forgery— Code, ¡¡ 1808 — Note Barred by Limitation.— Forgery, under section 1808, Hill’s Code, may be predicated of any instrument that may be the basis of an action, or is of such a character that it may defraud another, or injuriously affect his rights; therefore, a note which appears upon its face to be barred by the statute of limitations may be the subject of forgery, since the defense of limitation may be waived by the maker, and the note become the foundation of a valid judgment, and establish a legal liability.</p>
