[*] REED against PIERSON.
    ON CERTIORARI.
    It appeared that the justice, on the trial of the cause below, admitted in evidence, as proof of the payment of a note, that the payer of a note borrowed money for the purpose of paying it about the time the note was due.
   By the Court.

This evidence was inadmissible. It would be dangerous to .admit as proof of payment, that the debtor borrowed money for the purpose of payment; he might have applied the money .to other purposes.

Judgment reversed.
