Head Matter:
Conway v. Williams.
Consideration—promissory note presumptive evidence of sufficient.
A note was given in settlement of an account. The account was presented at the trial and marked for identification. Held, that the failure by defendant to offer the account in evidence furnished no presumption of a want of consideration for the note. The note, itself, was presumptive evidence of a sufficient consideration.
Appeal by defendant from a judgment in favor of plaintiff entered upon the report of a referee.
The action was brought in Suffolk county by Thomas Conway against Jonathan G-. Horton upon a promissory note under seal. Pending the action defendant died, and Hannah Gr. Williams, the executrix under his last will, was substituted as defendant.

G. H. Gleason, for respondent.
