Elwyn, for the plaintiff.

Opinion:
Morphy, J.,
delivered the opinion of the court.
Defendants are sued on two notes of hand, payable to the order of the plaintiff. They admitted their signatures, made no defence below, and yet have appealed. The appellees pray for judgment.
It is, therefore, ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the judgment appealed from, be affirmed with costs, and ten per cent, damages, on the amount of each note.
