Syllabus

<p>Promissory notes — Affidavit of defense — Practice, C. P.</p> <p>In an action upon a promissory note an affidavit of defense is insufficient in which the defendant admits that he made a note identical with the copy filed in date, in amount, in payee and in time and place of payment, and that the note passed by indorsement to the plaintiff in renewal of his prior note which the plaintiff had discounted, and the only difference averred between the copy filed, and the note alleged to have been made is that the latter contained the words and figures, “In renewal of $5,000 note.”</p>
