Syllabus

<p>1. An answer alleging that the note complained upon was given as the purchase money of a horse to be used in the confederate service during the late war, and that said horse was actually so used, was held on demurrer not to state facts sufficient to constitu te a defence.</p> <p>2. Mere knowledge by the vendor that the purchaser intends to make an illegal or immoral use of the article purchased is not sufficient to defeat an action for the purchase money. Hodgson v. Temple, 5 Taunt. 181 approved.</p> <p>3. An allegation that defendant, by writing his name on the back of the note, became a guarantor for the payment of the same, and that upon the strength of such guaranty B received the said note for value, is a sufficient statement that defendant guaranteed its payment.</p>
