¶1The signature of the deceased to the note presumably made out a consideration for the paper.
¶2It stated that it was given for value received, and that was sufficient to throw upon the administrator the burden of proving that it was given for nothing.
¶3*500The cross-examination of the claimant makes out an abundant consideration. The deceased had a title to a piece of land in his own name, which really belonged to himself and the claimant together. The plaintiff had personal property on the farm, and the deceased sold the farm without notice to him, and thereby occasioned loss on the sale of the plaintiff’s personal property by reason of its forced sale out of season.
¶4The deceased and the claimant went over the items of loss together, “ and they agreed upon the amount due.” The amount was $550, out of a claim of $852.85. The note was given for the sum of $550. The note rests upon as sure a foundation as if the father to give $550 for the right to sell a farm occupied by his son, and in which he was a half owner, without a formal title at a time when the sale would be beneficial to the father, and injurious to the son. The costs were properly ordered under the case of Denise v. Denise, 110 N. Y. 562 ; 18 N. Y. State Rep. 873.
¶5The judgment should, therefore, be affirmed, with costs.
¶6All concur.
