Turner.\u201d Pleas were non-assumpsit and set-off.\nWhen offered in evidence, the note was found to correspond exactly with the averments in the declaration. There was no variance. According to the practice that prevails under the decisions of this court, it was not necessary to offer extrinsic evidence that plaintiff is the same person as that described in the note as \u201c Lizia H. Turner.\u201d The surname and one initial letter were correctly given, and the presumption may be indulged, the word \u201c Lizia,\u201d in the connection used, is a contraction of the name of Elizabeth, the Christian name of plaintiff.\nBut the pleadings admit the note was made payable to plaintiff by the name of \u201c Lizia H. Turner,\u201d and upon the authority of Wright v. Curtis et al. 27 Ill, 514, it was admissible in evidence without further proof.\nThe judgment will be affirmed.\nJudgment affirmed.",
