Counsel

Montgomery for the plaintiff in error,, Hopkins, contra. .

Kean v. Dufresne

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

It appears in this case, that the note set up as an extinguishment of the debt of Kean and Foster, was in fact no more than a note put into the bank, for the purpose' of raising money for Kean and Foster. Therefore, it can be no extinguishment. The note, in fact, was not parted -with by Dufresne, but for the purpose of raising money for Kean and Foster.

Judgment affirmed.
