““ ‘In almost all of the states except New York we suppose the note or bill of the debtor, or of a third party, may be payment by implied, as well as by express'agreement; for there is no reason why the parties should not indicate • their intention by actions, as well as by words. Where an implied agreement may be shown that the bill or note was taken in payment, all the facts are to be considered by the jury.’ 2 Parsons, Bills and Notes, pp. 159-161.””
