Brooks vs. M. C. & J. F. Kiser.
    That the printed blank on which a promissory note was drawn concluded with the words “ witness our hand and seal, ” did not alone make the note a sealed instrument. These words called attention to the attestation to be made, but did not supply the place of a seal or representation thereof after the signature.
    
      (a.) The attaching of a seal or scroll after the signature to an instrument, without some recital in the body thereof, will not make such instrument a writing under seal; and it would seem that a recital alone, without the attaching of a seal or scroll, will not make a sealed instrument. 66 111., 501 ; 1 Blackf., 241; 2 Ld. Raymond, 1536; 5 Johns. R., 239.
    December 30, 1882.
   Crawford, Justice.
