Per Curiam.
The evidence is to be taken in the light most favorable to plaintiffs, and they are entitled to the benefit of every reasonable intendment upon the evidence, and every reasonable inference to be drawn therefrom.
"We think there was sufficieht evidence, more than a scintilla, to be submitted to the jury as to payment of the notes. As the case goes back to be heard before a jury, we will not set out the evidence.
For the reasons given the judgment is
Reversed.
