— The deposition was offered by the plaintiff.
The deponent’s liability upon his indorsement could not be defeated by a verdict for the plaintiff. He was not, therefore, interested in favor of the plaintiff, and the deposition was admissible.

*494A consideration of that question is unnecessary, because the deposition, which is made a part of the case, contains nothing which can tend to show, that the defendant intended to sign as a promisor. It only proves, that his name was to be upon the paper; and its exclusion was, therefore rightfully ordered.
When one places his name upon the back of an unnegotiable note, the law presumes him to be a promisor.
When he places it upon the back of a negotiable note, the law presumes, that he intended to be an indorser.
