Head Matter:
Humphries vs. Nix.
Appeal, from Rockdale. Promissory Notes. Sealed Instruments. Contracts. (Before Judge Stewart.)
A. C. McCalla, by brief, for plaintiff in error.
A. C. Perry, by J. N. Glenn, for defendant.

Opinion:
Jackson, C. J.
Where at the end of a note were the words "Signed and sealed" followed by the signature of the maker and a scroll for a seal, with the letters "L. S." written across it, this was equivalent to the words "Witness my hand and seal," followed in the same way, and the-paper was a sealed instrument under §2915 of the Code. 72 Ga., 898; 69 Id., 762.
Judgment affirmed.
