Head Matter:
HAGUE, Respondent, v. CONE, Appellant.
(City Court of New York,
General Term.
May 9, 1893.)
Action by Thomas O. Hague against Sarah B. Cone on a note.
Argued before EHRLICH, C. J., and EITZSIMONS, J.
Burrill, Zabriskie & Burrill, for appellant.
O. H. Machín, for respondent.

Opinion:
EITZSIMONS, J.
The debt of defendant to plaintiff was clearly proved. The defense of payment was a question of fact, and apparently was not proved to the satisfaction of the jury. The claim made by defendant, that plaintiff applied the proceeds of her husband's note to the payment of the cause of action at bar, was disbelieved by the jury. They evidently believed that said note was applied in payment of the husband's debt, as agreed upon by plaintiff and defendant's husband.
Finding no error, the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
