Head Matter:
Burt v. Bennett.
Argued October 8,
Decided October 30, 1902.
Certiorari. Before Judge Estes. Dawson superior court. August 13, 1902.
B. S. Baker and O. J. Billy, for plaintiff.

Opinion:
Cobb, J.
The controlling issue in this case being whether or not the plaintiff, who was the transferee of the note sued on, had, before paying the entire purchase-price of the note, notice of the defense of failure of consideration set up in the defendant's plea, and there being no evidence to authorize a finding that he had such notice, the court erred in overruling a petition for certiorari sued out by the plaintiff for the purpose of setting aside a verdict in his favor for a less sum than a full amount of the note.
Judgment reversed.
AU the Justices concurring, except Lumpkin, P. J., absent.
