Finley v. Isett

Syllabus

<p>B., who had transactions with the appellees who were bankers, delivered to them his five promissory notes secured by mortgage. The appellant was also a creditor of B. and had a claim upon the fund in the appellees’ hands. Held, (1) That the fact that the notes were in the possession of the appellees raised a legal presumption that they were their property;-(2) That the weight of the evidence was in favor of the position that the appellees were to be first paid before transferring the notes to appellants.</p>
