Description
PIERCE, Justice. This is a bill in equity whereby the plaintiff seeks to establish the liability of the defendant Israel Nesson on two promissory notes signed by him as maker -- one dated October 17, 1898, in the sum of $80,000, upon which there is now due $52,000 with interest; the other dated June 28, 1917, in the sum of $36,000, the whole of which is now due with interest. The bill also seeks to reach and apply certain property alleged to be owned by the defendant Israel Nesson but standing in the name of the other two defendants. The defendant Israel Nesson claimed a jury trial on the issue of his liability on the two notes, above mentioned, and jury issues were framed, as follows: (1) 'What amount, if any, does the defendant Israel Nesson now owe the plaintiff on the note executed by him on October 17, 1898, for $80,000?' (2) 'What amount, if any, does the defendant Israel Nesson now owe the plaintiff on the note executed by him on June 28, 1917, for $36,000?' The case came on to be heard before a jury on the foregoing issues. The plaintiff put in evidence the originals of the two notes, copies of which are attached to the bill of complaint, and read to the jury the interrogatories to the defendant Israel Nesson, and his answers whereby he admitted the execution and delivery to the plaintiff of both notes. In said answers he also admitted payment of interest on the note of October 17, 1898, up to November 5, 1932, and payment of the principal to the amount of $8,000; and on the note of June 28, 1917, he admitted payment of interest to June 28, 1932, and that he had not paid any portion of the principal. The plaintiff then rested its case.
