¶1 This is a material alteration ©f the note : suppose it were given on a condition known to the first subscribing witness, and then a suit were commenced, and the second subscribing witness summoned for the plaintiff to prove it. He may not know any thing of the condition, being not the witness called by the parties to attest: of course he will prove the note and, and the plaintiff will recover, notwithstanding the com dition.
¶2 The jury however, found for the plaintiff; and Judge Taylor being moved for a new trial, refused it on the ground that the verdict was according to the equity of the case: the motion was opposed on the ground that this was a new trial, and that a second new trial should not be granted against two concurring verdicts.
