Selma Compress Company v. Parker

PRICE, Judge.

Appellant brought suit against appellee for the sum of $217.76, balance due on a promissory note executed by appellee to D. L. Johnson and assigned by D. L. Johnson to appellant.

The defendant pleaded, in short by consent, the general issue and payment. The jury returned a verdict in favor of defendant-appellee.

In the absence of a sworn plea, the introduction of the note in evidence made out a prima facie case for plaintiff. Code 1940, Tit. 7, § 374; Bowman v. Street, 21 Ala.App. 643, 111 So. 316; Dawsey v. Kirven, 203 Ala. 446, 83 So. 338, 7 A.L.R. 1658; Stull v. Daniel Mach.…
