Opinion of the Court
This is an action for $40, balance on an account for $55, the purchase price of a buggy bought by defendant of the plaintiff. The judgment was for plaintiff. As the finding was for plaintiff we will assume as true what there was evidence tending to prove.
It appears that defendant bought the buggy, paid $15 cash and was to give a note for $ — , signed by the Cummins and defendant and his brother. Some time afterwards de

As soon as plaintiff discovered it was not as it was agreed it should be, he notified defendant and his action after that was more for defendant’s accommodation than his own.

A careful reading of the argument and brief does not impress us with the soundness of the defense. The judgment is affirmed.
