Supreme Court of Alabama June 15, 1846 (Frazer v. Brownrigg)

GOLDTHWAITE, J.

It is the settled rule in this court, that the legal effect of such a plea as is here in question, is only to controvert the fact of indorsement, and, if well pleaded, to put the plaintiff on proof of its genuineness. [Beal v. Snedicor, 8 Porter, 528; Jennings v. Cummings, 9 Ib. 309; Tarver v. Nance, 5 Ala. Rep. 712.
