Error to the Superior Court of Cook County; the Hon. Elliott Anthony, Judge, presiding. Action of assumpsit on guaranty brought by defendants in error against plaintiff in error. The note and guaranty thereon were as follows t $650. Chicago, February 26, 1880. a Six months after date I promise to pay to the order of D. H. Tolman & Co., six hundred and fifty dollars, payable at their office, value received, with interest at 8 per cent, per annum. G. E. Boyles.” Indorsed: <[S. S. Start. 4C Pay to P. Moran & Go. 66 D. H. Tolman & Co., without recourse on D. H. Tolman & Co.” Payment guaranteed by me, August 28, 1880. S. S. Start.” The declaration alleged the making of the note on, to wit, February 26, 1880, and that D. H. Tolman & Company afterward, to wit, on the day and year aforesaid, and before the ■maturity of the note, indorsed and'delivered the same to P. Moran & Company, and that on the same day, and before delivery of the note to the plaintiffs, in consideration that plaintiffs would accept and receive said note of said D. H. Tolman & Company, and for a valuable consideration to him in hand paid by the plaintiffs, the defendant, by his indorsement thereon, guaranteed the payment of said note, and promised the plaintiffs to pay the same if Boyles should not; that plaintiffs, relying on the undertaking of the defendant, received said note; that Boyles refused to pay the note, and defendant having notice thereof, became liable, etc. On the trial, the evidence showed that the first indorsement, “S. S. Start,” was outlie note when it was delivered to the plaintiffs, but did not show whether it was written there before the note was delivered to the payees or after. It also appeared that the second indorsement by Start was made after the delivery of the note to plaintiffs. The note and indorsement were offered in evidence by plaintiffs, and objected to fey defendant for the reason that the same was incompetent and irrelevant, and variant from the cause of action set forth in the declaration, and that plaintiffs had failed to show any consideration for the supposed guaranty. The objection was overruled, and defendant excepted. Verdict for plaintiffs for §906.07. Motion for new trial by defendant. Motion overruled and judgment on verdict. Defendant sues out this writ of error to reverse the judgment.
