    Memorandum.—Assumpsit on a promissory note. Appeal from the Superior Court of Cook County; the Hon. John Barton Payne, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the October term, 1894, and affirmed.
    Opinion filed December 6, 1894.

   Mr. Justice Waterman

delivered the opinion of the Court.

This was an action upon a promissory note.

The defendant endeavored to show by cross-examination of the plaintiff that the note was given for losses sustained in a gambling transaction on the Board of Trade.

Only a question of fact is involved. We see no sufficient reason for interfering with the judgment of the Superior Court and it is affirmed.
