    Statement of the Case.

Schiavone & Son, against Donato Zingarelli and Amalia Zingarelli upon certain notes given by defendants to one Bottigliero for work done on a certain building, the notes having been assigned to plaintiffs.

      Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Appeal and ebbob, § 450
      
      —when erroneous admission of evidence not preserved for review. The erroneous admission in evidence of a ledger leaf is not preserved for review, where it was offered, admitted in evidence and made a part of the record without objection, and afterwards counsel stated: “I think these three ledger leaves are objected to,” which was not an objection, and no ruling of the court was asked or made.
    2. Bills and notes, § 326*—when defense of failure of consideration not available. Where the consideration for promissory-notes was the promise of the payee to do certain work, the fact that the payee fails to keep his promise makes him liable for damages but does not constitute a failure of consideration which may be urged as a defense in a suit on the notes.
    3. Bills and notes, § 451*—sufficiency of evidence. In a suit to recover on promissory notes, held that there was not a clear preponderance of the evidence that there was an accounting or accord which would prevent a recovery.
    Frederick A. Brown and William R. T. Ewen, Jr., for appellees; Raymond S. Pruitt and Harry A. McCauley, of counsel.
