#### H. J. LEE v. M. V. CHAMBLEE.

(Filed 19 April, 1944.)

Appeal by plaintiff from Harris, J., at October Term, 1943, of WlLSON.

Simms & Simms and J. M. Templeton for plaintiff, appellant.

Bunn & Arendell for defendant, appellee.

Per Curiam.

The plaintiff asked for recovery upon a negotiable note bearing the signature of defendant and others, and apparently under seal. The defendant pleaded suretyship and also denied that he had adopted as his own the seal appearing after his signature, and pleaded the three-year statute of limitations. Upon the evidence adduced, and after appropriate instructions by the court, the jury answered the issues favorably to defendant’s contentions and judgment was rendered accordingly. Plaintiff appealed.

This case is controlled by Flippen v. Lindsey, 221 N. C., 30, 18 S. E. (2d), 824, and authorities there cited. We find

No error.
