In re Assigned Estate of Neff
Opinion of the Court
In his opinion dismissing the exceptions and confirming the auditor’s reports the learned president of the common pleas has so carefully considered and satisfactorily disposed of the questions presented by the assignments of error that nothing can be profitably added to what he has so well said. A careful examination of the record has disclosed nothing that would justify us in disturbing the decree; and we accordingly affirm the same and dismiss the appeal for reasons given in the opinion referred to.
Decree affirmed and appeal dismissed at appellant’s costs.

- Syllabus
- Judgment — Judgment note — Parol evidence. A condition in a bond given by a debtor to a creditor that the debtor will pay, when so required, all notes and other indebtedness on which he' “is liable” in any way to the creditor, secures only debts existing at the date of the bond; not those afterwards contracted. Where a judgment note is given to a bank to secure an existing indebtedness, an oral statement subsequently made by the debtor to the officers of the bank, in the presence of another creditor, that the judgment note was to cover later indebtedness, will not entitle the bank to claim that the judgment note covered such later indebtedness as against the other creditor, if the latter at the time the oral statement was made did not say or refrain from saying anything that induced action or inaction by the bank to its prejudice.
