Opinion:
Mr. Justice Waterman
delivered the opinion of the Court.
This was an action upon a promissory note.
The defendant endeavored to show by cross-examination of the plaintiff that the note was given for losses sustained in a gambling transaction on the Board of Trade.
Only a question of fact is involved. We see no sufficient reason for interfering with the judgment of the Superior Court and it is affirmed.
