 ton of suretyship of a wife who signs a
 note with her husband.
 The opinion was filed in the City Court
 yesterday in the case of May s. Fitzpatrick
 The Bank of Montgomery
 This was suit brought in the City Court
 by the bank against May S. Fitzpatrick on
 promisory note. Judgment was rendered
 in it's favor, and the case was carried by defendant to the Supreme Court. The case
 was reversed and remanded by that court or the ground that the plaintiffs attorney
 stated to the jury in his argument that
 the notes for which the one sued on was
 given in renewal, are presumed to be in the
 hands of defendant, May S. Fitzpatrick, and
 the fact that she does not produce them
 can be considered by you as fact in evil dence against her.'
 The court held that this statement tended
 to prejudice her case, the point in issue be-
 ing whether the note in suit was the in-
 dividual undertaking of defendant or whether it was the debt of her husband and she had signed it merely as his surety In the first division of the City Court the case of J. A. Mansfield vs. the Southern
 Railway Company and the Alabama Great Southern Railroad is on trial. This is a suit for the alleged killing of heifer and a COW.
