With reference to the two clerks, their evidence is not sufficient to support the defendants&#8217; case. The evidence is extremely weak. They say it is customary to endorse on a promissory note the payments made on account. There is no endorsement on the promissory note, and there is no corroboration of their statement, which is positively denied on the other side.\n<\/p>\n<p>4. Their Lordships will, therefore, humbly advise His Majesty that the appeal must be dismissed. The appellant will pay the costs of the appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.
