Jackson, Chief Justice.
An instrument which has, at the end of the note, the words “ signed and sealed,” followed by the signature and the scroll for a seal with “L. S.” written across it, is equivalent to (he words, “ witness my hand and seal,” followed in the same way, and is a compliance with the statute, Code, §2915, which enacts that “no instrument shall be considered under seal, unless so recited in the body of the instrument.” “ Signed and sealed” are as much in the body of the instrument as “ witness my hand and seal” in the same place in the note is. That the last named words in that place are sufficient if followed by the representation of the seal, see 72 Ga. 898; Willhelms vs. Partoine and 69 Ga. 762, Brooks vs. M. C. & J. F. Kiser.
Judgment affirmed.
