<p>1. Surveying partntbb—may assign note payable to the firm. The sole survivor of a firm may assign a promissory note payable to the late firm, by indorsement, so as to vest the legal title in the assignee, as effectually as if the note had been made payable to him.</p> <p>2. Presumption—mi favor of the action of court. Where a note is made payable to a firm, and a power of attorney given to confess a judgment upon it in favor of such firm or its assignee or assignees, and the note is assigned hy one member of the firm, describing himself as successor of the firm, and judgment is confessed in favor of the assignee, the presumption is that evidence was heard by the court showing that the person indorsing the note was the proper person to do so; that the court had jurisdiction to render the judgment it did.</p>
