Farhni v. Ramsee.
    This Court will not presume that a note was made beyond its jurisdiction.
    But even where the note was made in a foreign country, our laws, when appealed to for its enforcement, prima facie, furnish the rule of decision, unless by affirmative pleading, another rule is shown to be applicable.
