1. Where one convicted of a misdemeanor and sentenced to pay a specified fine or serve a specified time in the gang procured another person to sign with him a promissory note in satisfaction thereof, and to execute a deed to secure the payment of the note, and the note and the deed were accepted by the solicitor-general as the equivalent of cash, the consideration was not illegal, and in a suit thereon a plea to that effect was properly stricken on demurrer. Blain v. Hitch, 70 Ga. 275.

2. In a suit on a promissory note, a plea alleging fraudulent conduct on the part of a person other than the payee and not in privity with him[*763] constitutes no issuable defense, and is properly stricken on demurrer. Roth v. Donnelly Grocery Co., 8 Ga. App. 851 (2) (70 S. E. 140).

3. The recoi'd discloses no reversible error.

Judgment affirmed.
