Opinion of the Court

The CouRT (Thruston, J., absent,)

instructed the jury, that if they should be satisfied, by the evidence, that the note with the indorsement was delivered to Cooper & Company, the indorsement was prima facie evidence that it was transferred to Cooper & Company for value received, and throw the burden of proof upon the plaintiffs, to show that it was either put into the hands of Cooper & Company for collection, or was retransferred, or that Veitch & Company had repaid to Cooper & Company the value received. - -
