Humphries v. Nix

Opinion of the Court

Jackson, C. J.

Where at the end of a note were the words “Signed and sealed” followed by the signature of the maker and a scroll for a seal, with the letters “L. S.” written across it, this was equivalent to the words “Witness my hand and seal,” followed in the same way, and the-paper was a sealed instrument under §2915 of the Code. 72 Ga., 898; 69 Id., 762.

Judgment affirmed.
