On Motion for Rehearing.
The witness Field, manager of the Sheffield Gas Power Company, testified that the notes sued upon were accepted by his company in part settlement of an open account due said company which had been assigned as collateral to appellee, and that his company received credit from appellee for these notes at the time Mr. Robinson turned them over to appellee. The notes were accepted by appellee in part payment of the indebtedness due it by the Sheffield Gas Power Company. The statement that said company received credit for the notes upon the debt due by it means that the credit was to the extent of the amount due on the notes. If appellant had any doubt concerning the meaning of the witness, further questions should have been propounded. We concluded, and are still of the opinion, that such testimony made a prima facie case of payment of full value.
The motion is overruled.
