Purdon v. Carrington
Purdon v. Carrington
31 Ohio St. (N.S.) 168
Purdon v. Carrington
Opinion of the Court
A mortgage given to secure the payment of a promissory note is not a “written instrument for the payment of money only,” within the meaning of ■section 118 of the code. And a cause of action, in a pleading, founded upon such mortgage, can not be verified by an agent or attorney of the party, on the ground that such instrument is in his possession.
Motion overruled.
