Opinion:
Peaeson, C. J.
"We promise to pay Jesse Hood two-hundred and sixty-nine dollars in silver coin or its equivalent in currency, for some notes on Aaron Quinn for the year 1864" for value received, July 1st, 1866.
D. Eroneberser & Co.
A. QuiNN, Security."
We concur with his Honor in the opinion that this is a new contract, made 1st July, 1866, and does not fall within the exception set out in the 5th section of the Ordinance of the Convention, ratified 14th March 1868. It is not a note made since 1st May, 1865, in renetual of or substitute for a contract, made prior to 1st May 1865. In 1866 Eroneberger & Co. purchased of Hood notes which he held on Quinn. The fact that Quinn signs the note as surety for Froneberger & Co.,, does not, per se, give to it the character of a note in renewal of the notes of Quinn.
There is no error.
Per Curiam. Judgment affirmed.
