Napier & Maynard and Oliver 0. Hancock, for plaintiff.

Opinion:
Eish, C. J.
1. On the trial of an action brought on a promissory note, parol evidence was admissible in support of a plea that the defendant was induced to sign the note by certain alleged fraud practiced upon him, by the plaintiff. McBride v. Macon Telegraph Co., 102 Ga. 422 (2), 424 (30 S. E. 999).
