It was argued on the part of the defence, that no valuable con& &ration bad been given for the note to the Defen dant, and that the fituation in which he Good when the fame was negociated, namely, as an infolvent per fon, made the tranfaitioo, fisted to have taken place between Hirams and Wifeman, appear improbable.
