202 N.C. 817

Thompson v. Johnson

Opinion of the Court

Pee Oubiam:.

It is true that tbe complaint is little more than a skeleton, but tbe judgment overruling tbe demurrer is • sustained upon tbe authority of Deloatch v. Vinson, 108 N. C., 148, 12 S. E., 895. Tbe Court said: “Tbe payee or endorser of a note is tbe prima facie owner and bolder. Tbe allegation that be is so is unnecessary, and if tbe defendant defends upon tbe ground that tbe plaintiff is not such owner, be should set up tbe facts showing title in someone else.”

Affirmed.
