BY THE COURT.
The case of Howe v. Dawson, Tappan, 169, decides the precise point before us; and it is said, the same point has been repeatedly decided by this court, though we have no reported case. Suppose there was a seal of wax instead of a scrawl, would not the instrument be sealed ? Our law puts the scrawl upon the same footing as the wax seal.
Judgment for the plaintiff.
[Note with scrawl is sealed note, followed; Osborn v. Kistler, 35 O. S. 90, 101.]
