Jacobs v. Turner et al.
    Where notice of protest of a note is left at the counting-room of an endorser, with a person who declared himself to be his agent, the notice, having been left at the'proper place, cannot he affected by proof that the person with whom it was left was not the agent of the endorser,
    APPEAL from the Fourth District Court of New Orleans, Slmwbridge, J. There was a judgment below in this case against the endorser, T. B. Bee, from'whichhe appealed. The judge, in giving his reasons for the judgment, says: “ That notice of protest was given to the endorser Rea, by leaving it at his counting-room with a gentleman who ‘declared himself his agent.’ The regularity of this notice has been supposed to depend on the fact of the person in question being actually defendant’s agent, which I think immaterial. The notice was left at the proper place, and whether the person with .■whom it was left was agent or not, cannot invalidate it.”
    
      B. A. Crawford and Iiamner, for the plaintiff,
    cited 14 La. 494. 15 La. J.13. B. B. Bee, for the appellant, relied on Story on Notes, § 309.
   Eustis, C. J.

For the reasons given by the district judge, the judgment jnthis case is affirmed, with costs.
