The cause was submitted to the court for trial who found the issues joined in favor of appellee and judgment was rendered accordingly.
The original declaration consisted of two special counts and the consolidated common counts. The two special counts declare upon the instrument as a promissory note though the whole contract is attached to the declaration and made a part thereof. A demurrer was interposed to these two special counts and sustained. Thereupon it appears from the record that appellant obtained leave to file an additional count, and ^hat purports to be an additional count was filed. To the additional count a demurrer was also interposed and. sustained. There seems to be some confusion in the record in regard to whether this additional count was treated as such or as an amended count. The record shows that a demurrer was filed March 25, 1919, to the “amended count.” The record also shows that on April 28, 1919, the demurrer was sustained to the “amended” count and that on June 25, 1919, that appellant abided by her “amended” count. As no other counts appear in the record than the one above mentioned, it will be presumed that the special count purporting to be an additional count was, in fact, an additional count and not an amended count and that appellant abided by her additional count. However, there is nothing in the record to show that after the demurrer was sustained to the two original special counts that she abided by said counts. They must be treated therefore as having been abandoned.
After the demurrer to the additional count had been sustained the case proceeded to trial before the court and appellant offered to introduce the instrument *516heretofore set out in evidence under the common counts. Appellee objected to its admission under the common counts and it was admitted subject to the objection. Appellant offered no other evidence and the court found the issues joined in favor of appellee. This finding in effect sustained the objection to the admission of the instrument in evidence. Two questions are involved on this appeal: Did the trial court err in sustaining the demurrer to the additional count and also in refusing to admit the instrument in evidence under the common counts? Counsel for appellant contend that she can recover upon that part of the instrument .purporting to be a promissory note regardless of the other provisions of the agreement attached thereto. Contemporaneous agreements in regard to the same subject-matter must be construed together as one contract. Heldman v. Gunnell, 201 Ill. App. 172, and cases cited therein. The additional count simply sets out the instrument in haec verba and concludes with the averment that said last dividend payment in said writing referred to was of the date of October 1, 1913, and being so liable to pay the said sum of $1,000, together with interest from October 1, 1913, as well as 5 per cent attorney’s fees, appellee then and there to-wit: at the maturity of said note promised to pay the said sum according to the tenure and effect of said instrument, but though often requested so to do, has wholly refused and does still refuse to pay the same or any portion thereof, to the damage of appellant of the sum of $1,500, etc. The promise to pay in the agreement is controlled by the conditions therein set forth and is not an unconditional promise to pay $1,000 three years after date. Under certain conditions, payment might have been demanded before the three years had expired. Under other conditions, the payment might be postponed. In fact, the provision in the form of the promissory note is a sort of guaranty for the faithful fulfilment *517by appellee of its obligation to redeem the withdraw-able certificates of stock issued by it, in the manner and under the conditions set out in the agreement. The additional count contains no averment of any kind tending to show that any conditions or circumstances have arisen which gives appellant the right to sue upon said promise. The agreement specifically states under what conditions the certificates of stock may be withdrawn or redeemed prior to the maturity of the note and also under what conditions this may be done on the maturity of the note or at any time within 10 years after the date of the agreement. The additional count ignores all of the agreement except that part constituting the promissory note. This count does not state a cause of action and the demur,rer thereto was properly sustained.
When the payment of an obligation is to be made in a particular manner or is to be controlled by the happening of future events, then the contract creating-the obligation must be declared upon specially and facts showing that the obligation is due and payable must be averred. First Nat. Bank v. Hart, 55 Ill. 62; Meyers v. Phillips, 72 Ill. 460; Harman v. Indian Grave Drainage Dist., ante, p. 502. It follows, therefore, that the trial court did not err in refusing to admit the instrument or agreement sued on in evidence under the common counts.
There is no error in the record and the judgment of the circuit court is affirmed.
Affirmed.
