Where an affidavit of forgery has been filed to the plaintiff's deed, and the deed has been turned over to the defendant or his counsel in order to procure evidence upon the issue of forgery, and such deed is destroyed or lost by the defendant or his counsel or for any cause is not returned to the plaintiff, the judge trying the case shall strike the affidavit of forgery and withdraw the issue from the jury until the deed is produced. The same rule shall apply when the plaintiff files an affidavit of forgery as to the deed of the defendant.
