Cannell v. Milburn and McFarlane.
    If the legal effect of the instrument be the same, whether the words constituting a variance be inserted or not, the variance is not material.
    Debt on a sealed note. Plea, “ owe nothing ” without oyer, and issue.
    
      Mr. Neale, for the defendant, objected to the admission of the sealed note in evidence, because it contained the words 11 for value received,” which were not in the declaration.
    
      Mr. Hodgson, for the plaintiff.
   The Court (Moesell, J. absent,) overruled the objection, and Cranch, C. J., referred to the case of Ferguson v. Harwood, 7 Cranch, 408, where the Supreme Court held, that if the legal effect of the instrument be the same, whether the words be inserted or not, the variance is immaterial.
