    NEW LONDON COUNTY,
    SEPTEMBER, A. D. 1773.
    Hallam and Adams v. Mumford.
    One defendant cannot take advantage of the other’s minority to avoid a note.
    Error. Mumford sued Hallam and Adams upon a joint and several note, given by them when Hallam was under age. Adams plead Hallam’s minority in abatement of the suit. The County Court overruled the plea in abatement, and gave judgment against both upon default.
    Error assigned is — That the County Court ought to have judged said plea in abatement, sufficient.
   Judgment — Nothing erroneous; for Adams could not take advantage of Hallam’s minority — 2d. the note of a minor is not absolutely void, but only voidable.
