Summary
In Hauxhurst v. Ritch, 119 N.Y. 621, it was held that possession by the payee, or some one claiming under him, of a written instrument evidencing an indebtedness due from the maker thereof, raises a presumption that the debt has not been paid, and that the possession of the note made plaintiff a prima facie holder and owner.
