CourtNew Mexico Supreme Court
McKenna & Sommer, Santa Fe, for appellant.

Bigbee & Byrd, Arthur Coleman, Santa Fe, for appellee.

COMPTON, Justice.

The grounds for reversal urged in this appeal are identical with those considered and disposed of by the court this day in Hoefer v. Hall, cause number 7679. The cases were consolidated on appeal and by authority of that case, the judgment should be reversed and the cause remanded for a hearing upon the merits.

It is so ordered.

NOBLE and MOISE, JJ., concur.

ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

COMPTON, Justice.

We have no doubt that the written terms of a promissory note can be explained by parol evidence, at least so far as it concerns the right of a maker of a note to offset an account then existing against the note. Bromfield v. Trinidad National Investment Company, (C.A.10, 1929) 36 F.2d 646, 71 A.L.R. 542; Note in 71 A.L.R. 548, 570; B. F. Goodrich Co. v. Brooks, (Fla.App.1959) 113 So.2d 593, and authorities cited therein. By affidavit filed in the case, it is made amply clear that in issue of fact in this regard was present. Accordingly, this ground furnishes no sufficient basis for the court's ruling.

The motion for rehearing should be denied, and it is so ordered.

NOBLE and MOISE, JJ., concur.
