Supreme Court of Alabama November 15, 1889 (Hall Safe & Lock Co. v. Harwell)

CLOPTON, J.

The note upon which the action is founded, was in the possession of Bulger & Wynn, as attorneys of plaintiff, for collection. They were authorized to receive partial payment; and there can be no question, that the receipt given by W ynn to Harwell, the principal, is prima facie evidence of payment on the note of the amount specified in the receipt.
