   Eish, C. J.

1. An unpaid subscription to the capital stock of a corporation, after a call has been made, being a chose in action, is assignable in writing. Civil Code (1910), § 3652. Chattanooga R. Co. v. Warthen, 98 Ga. 599 (25 S. E. 988); 1 Cook on Corporations, § 111.

Where writings relied on as the basis of a cause of action are set forth in substance, it is not a good ground of special demurrer to the petition that copies of the writings are not set' forth in it nor attached thereto as exhibits.
