When the issue of fact is on the plea of non est factum, the question of the execution of the note sued upon is for the jury. It is not requisite to the admission of the note in evidence, that a prima-facie case of the genuineness of the defendant’s signature should be made out. It is sufficient that evidence should be shown to the court, conducing to prove the affirmative of the issue, which it would be proper for the jury to consider. Whenever there is, prima facie, any reason for sending the note to the jury, it should be suffered to go to them. There is, prima facie, such reason, when there is evidence tending to show the genuineness of the. signature, which it would be proper for the jury to consider. — 1 Greenleaf
