¶1It is evident, as well from the terms of the order as from the testimony of tlie witness, that- it was not given or received as a payment upon tlie note. It in terms recognizes McCamley as the holder of the note, and requests the drawees to pay it and credit the amount on tlie note. The payment of the order was, therefore, by its terms, to be precedent to the contemplated credit upon the note. It was neither paid nor accepted, and nothing can be more perfectly clear than that the giving of it was not a payment, nor was the order evidence of payment.

¶3We are of opinion that there is no error in the judgment, and that it be affirmed.
