Syllabus

<p>Mortgage — Presumption of payment — Rebuttal of presumption — Receipt indorsed on bond.</p> <p>Credits indorsed on a bond in the handwriting of the obligee are not evidence sufficient to rebut the presumption of payment unless the credits are affirmatively shown to have been made within twenty years, and at a time when it was against the interests of the obligee to malte them; so where the death of the promisee occurred after the presumption arose, proof ox signature alone is not sufficient.</p>
