## Opinion text

Atkinson, P. J., and Bell, J.,
concurring specially. Whether or not the instrument in question is of such form and character that it may be properly classed as a common-law specialty, and whether it shows a valuable consideration upon its face, it does not affirmatively negative such; and being under seal, a consideration is prima facie presumed. Nothing else appearing, the petition stated a cause of action, and the judge properly overruled the demurrer to the petition.
