Felton, Chief Judge,
dissenting. There was no evidence tending to show that the defendant signed the joint lease contract under duress or that it was procured by fraud, or any other reason why the defendant would not be bound by the lease contract which shows that the defendant signed the contract as a joint lessee, both within the contract and below her signature. Brosseau v. Jacobs Pharmacy Co., 147 Ga. 185 (93 SE 293). The defendant’s testimony that she was not a partner with her husband as to the leased property and the obligations thereunder is only a conclusion of law because the lease contract gave her a joint interest in the contract and in the property and trade name provided for in the lease. Code § 75-101. Magid v. Beaver, 185 Ga. 669, supra, involves a promissory note and not a bilateral contract.
I am authorized to state that Bell, P. J., Eberhardt and Deen, JJ., concur in this dissent.
