Protest for nonpayment of a foreign bill of exchange must be shown and annexed to the bill or a copy thereof and be under the hand and seal of the notary making it in order to hold an indorser on the bill.
    3. Appeal and eebor, § 1300*—-when assumed that paper was properly excluded from evidence. Where a paper excluded from the evidence by the trial court does not appear in a bill of exceptions it must be assumed it was properly excluded.
    4. Bills and notes, § 272*—tohat is not accommodation note making notice of protest unnecessary. A check indorsed for the accommodation of some one else than the indorser is not accommodation paper which would make notice of protest unnecessary.
