Action by Louis H. Mahnke, Jr., administrator of the estate of Louis H. Mahnke, deceased, plaintiff, against P. J. Hannon, defendant, on a promissory note. There was judgment for plaintiff, entered by confession, for $1,556.83, which defendant moved to vacate. From the order denying the motion to vacate, defendant appeals.
Abstract of the Decision.
1. Judgment, § 88 ,—what question considered on appeal from order denying motion to vacate judgment 5y confession. On appeal from an order denying a motion to vacate a judgment entered by confession, the only question to be considered is whether the affidavit submitted in support of the motion set up a prima facie defense.
2. Judgment, § 82*—when affidavit in support of motion to vacate judgment 6y confession on promissory note presents defense. An affidavit in support of a motion to vacate a judgment entered by confession on a promissory note which avers that affiant is and was discount teller of a bank of which defendant was president and that the note was without consideration and was given by defendant to procure the payment by plaintiff’s intestate of a loan made by the bank to the latter through defendant’s procurement, and that such loan had never been paid by plaintiff’s intestate, who had also ■ never requested that the note be paid, is sufficient to establish a prima facie defense to the note.
