VS. Johnson, 80 Ala. $40.
.. The burden of proof to sustain the
plea of illegality of consideration as to
the notes sued on rested upon the de-
PENDANTS and it was error in the circuit
court to place the burden upon the plain

3. When several notes are given for seN-
eral separate deliveries of fertilizer and
all the notes are sued on in one action
inquiry should be directed to the question
of legality vel non of the consideration
in whole or in part of each note, apart
from the others; and It was erroneous to
charge the jury that If one sack of fer
tizer did not have the tag attached the
verdict should be for defendants, thus
defeating recovery on any of the notes.
H. There was no presumption of law
that tags placed on sacks of fertilizer
at the point of shipment remained on
them at the time of delivery at desti-
nation. Whether they so remained was a
question for the jury upon a considera-
