        "text": "Mr. Justice Carter\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nThis is an appeal from a judgment of the Appellate Court affirming a judgment of the superior court of Cook county in favor of appellee, against appellant, upon two promissory notes, reading as follows:\n\u201c$2000. Chicago, III., August 28,1896.\n\u201cSixty days (60) after date we promise to pay to the order of George Hermann $2000, at 43 So. Green, value received,with interest at six per cent per annum.\nBrewer & Hofmann Brewing Co.\nH. O. McDonald, Secretary.\"\n\u201c$1850. Chicago, III., September 23, 1896.\n\u201cThirty days (30) after date we promise to pay to the order of Geo. Hermann $1850, at 43 So. Green, value received, with interest at the rate of six per cent per annum.\nBrewer & Hofmann Brewing Co.\nH. C. McDonald, Secretary.\"\nThe declaration contained two special counts (one on each\" note) and the common counts. The defendant objected on the trial to the admission of the notes in evidence because of a variance between them and the notes as described in the special counts, and excepted to the decision of the court overruling the objection. It is not material to consider whether there was a variance or not, inasmuch as it was proved that the notes in question were given to the plaintiff by the appellant for money borrowed of him, and they were admissible under the common counts.\nThe next point made is, that the jurors were not sworn to try the case,\u2014that is, that among the jurors who signed and returned the verdict were certain names not contained in the panel as sworn. There may be some difference between some of the Christian names as signed to the verdict and those as written in the clerk\u2019s record, arising, doubtless, from the use of initials and middle names; but as the question attempted to be raised here was not preserved by the bill of exceptions, the record as written up by the clerk is conclusive. Besides, the question cannot be raised here for the first time. If there was anything in it worthy of notice it should have been called to the attention of the court below, which was not done.\nWe are unable to see that appellant had, or has, any defense whatever to the collection of these notes, and are of the opinion that this appeal was taken and prosecuted for delay.\nThe judgment will be affirmed, and in addition a judgment for damages under the statute will be entered in this court against appellant and in favor of appellee, as prayed by him, for $200, which is less than six per cent of the judgment appealed from, and also for costs.\nJudgment affirmed.",
