    "head_matter": "No. 49.\nJacksonville Nat. Bk. v. Edward C. Lax et al.\nThis was a suit brought by the bank against defendants E. 0- and Mewark Lax on a note dated April 20,1848, for $1,500, due in six months, purporting to be signed by the defendants and payable to the bank; afterward an attachment in aid was sued out alleging a fraudulent conveyance by Mewark Lax; defendants filed several pleas upon which issue was joined, trial had and verdict rendered, which was set aside and new trial awarded. On Dec. 12, 1884, defendant Mewark Lax filed a plea of non est faatvmb sworn to, and upon trial a verdict was found for the defendants, and judgment rendered against plaintiff for costs.. From all the evidence in relation to the genuineness of the signature of \u00a1Newark Lax upon the note, the court is of opinion the jury were fully justified in finding his signature thereto a forgery, and it follows as a necessary consequence that the whole case fails, and errors in other branches of the case are immaterial.\nJudgment affirmed.\nJudge below, Cyrus Epler.\nAttorneys, for appellant, \u00a1Messrs. Moeeison & Whitlock;\nfor appellee, Messrs. Baenes & Gallon.\nOpinion filed Dec. 4, 1885."
