Jenkins, J.
1. “It is a good defense to an action on a negotiable promissory note, under seal, in the hands of the original payee," that it was executed without any lawful consideration.” Lacey v. Hutchinson, 5 Ga. App. 865 (64 S. E. 105); Saul v. Southern Seating &c. Co., 6 Ga. App. 843, 847 (65 S. E. 1065); Toller v. Hewitt, 12 Ga. App. 496 (77 S. E. 650); Strickland v. Farmers Supply Co., 14 Ga. App. 661, 664 (82 S. E. 161); Seawright v. Dickson, 16 Ga. App. 436, 442 (85 S. E. 625).
2. The defense filed was sufficient to withstand the general demurrer of plaintiff, and the trial judge did not err in refusing to strike the plea.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, P. J., and Bloodworth, J., concur.
