Syllabus

<p>Promissory Note—Non-payment — Possession of Note—Presumption —Burden of Proof. —Possession of a promissory note by the payee raises a presumption of non-payment. And possession by the maker raises a presumption of payment. Hence if the allegation of non-payment be denied, it is incumbent upon the plaintiff to prove non-payment, at least by producing the note or accounting for its non-production.</p>
