Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the Court:
The declaration in this case alleges the defendants made and delivered their note to Sturges & Com., and that Sturges & Com. endorsed it to the plaintiff. The note offered in evidence, was payable to Sturges & Com., and was endorsed Sturges & Co. It is objected that this is a variance. The objection is not well taken. Com.. and Co. are both well understood abbreviations of the word “ Company,” when used as a part of the name of a commercial firm.
Judgment affirmed,.
