If something other than money is delivered by the debtor to the creditor it is possible that it may be delivered as absolute payment, or as collateral security, or as conditional payment. If there is an agreement that it is taken as payment, it has such effect.1 By express agreement between the parties a note may be taken as payment of an obligation;2 and by such agreement the note of a third person may be accepted as payment.3 If a note of the maker is taken as payment by agreement between the debtor and the creditor, the effect of such payment is not altered by the fact that the note is made payable to the maker's order and that it is not endorsed by the maker to the creditor, so that it is not negotiable.4 By agreement between the parties a draft or order,1 or a check,6 may be accepted as payment in the absence of some rale of positive law requiring payment in money. Under the statutes in force in some jurisdictions, certain classes of debts,7 such as a debt to a corporation for stock which is issued by such corporation,8 can not be paid by the note of the debtor. By agreement between the debtor and the creditor, mutual claims held by each against the other may be regarded as extinguished; and under such agreement the claim which is thus extinguished by agreement is regarded as paid.9

"It may also be mentioned in this connection that while payment ordinarily means in money and he to whom it is due may insist that nothing else is payment, yet 'the payment of a debt need not necessarily be in money, but anything of value which the parties agree shall be accepted or go in payment of a debt will be treated accordingly. Thus it is that a check or the note of a third person will, when so expressly agreed, be treated as payment or satisfaction of a debt.'" Mc-Cormick v. Obanion, 1C8 Mo. App. 606, 153 S. W. 267.

On the other hand, it may be understood between the parties that whatever has been delivered is not intended as payment, but as collateral security.10

It is a question of fact whether the thing delivered by the debtor to the creditor is delivered as payment or not.11 Where a mortgagor gives his bond for an overdue payment on a mortgage debt,12 or notes of a third person,13 as where the note of a third person is given for an indebtedness under a building contract,14 the question is ultimately one of fact. Railroad coupons secured by first mortgage, which are accepted at par in buying third mortgage bonds at sixty cents on the dollar, the interest on which is guaranteed by a third party, are to be considered as paid.15
