note was the debt of defendant’s partner, upon which defendant was sei
curity. `
The other point is equally unsound. The claim is that the note for
$650, upon which judgment was rendered, was a renewal, and that as a
renewal. it was not binding on this particular defendant, Stark, because
of the prior dissolution of the partnership, a fact which was known to
the creditor at the time he took it. The truth of the matter is, the rc- V
newal was consented to by this defendant. It was given as a renewal of
a part of a $2,000 note upon which confessedly both defendants were
liable. The renewal was some time about the twentieth of August. On
the third of August this defendant writes to his partner: "FmZend San-
bom: Yours of twenty—eighth July just at hand. I wrote you some days
ago I could not provide for payment of note due 18th, Exchange Bank;
and I cannot. It must be renewed." August 18th, Exchange Bank,
$2,000, that was the note upon which both defendants were liable, and
this defendant writes to his partner saying, "It must be renewed." And
on the twenty-seventh of August, after the renewal, he writes: "Yours
twentieth August received. I am surprised you should renew those notes
for so short a time, as you must be aware collections are coming in very
slowly, and I cannot meet them."_ Obviously both before and after he
recognized and consented to the renewals. ‘ y
Themotion will be overruled. ‘

Where the state statutes require voters to appear before the register-and
take a prescribed oath before registering, it is an offense indictable under sec-
tion 5512, Rev. St. U. S., for a recorder of voters to knowingly, willfully, and
fraudulently enter in the registration books, or cause to be entered therein,
the name of a person as a qualified voter who has not appeared before him
and applied for registration, nor taken the oath required by law. (
