Millard J. Bloomer, Respondent, v. Eleanor L. Coffin, as Executrix of James A. Coffin, Deceased, Appellant.
    (Argued September 29, 1926;
    decided October 19, 1926.)
    
      Bills, notes and checks — action against executor of indorser of promissory note — sufficiency of notice of protest.
    
    
      Bloomer v. Coffin, 216 App. Div. 832, affirmed.
    Appeal from a judgment of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the first judicial department, entered May 25, 1926, affirming a judgment in favor of plaintiff entered upon a verdict. The action was to recover the amount due on a promissory note of which defendant’s intestate was an indorser. The defense was that due notice of non-payment of the note was not given- to defendant, testator having died a few days after the making of the note. It appeared that notice of protest had been mailed addressed to testator at his former office and there was testimony that after his death all mail received at the office addressed to testator was forwarded to defendant’s attorney.
    Judgment affirmed, with costs;
    
      George H. Bruce and Ronald K. Brown for appellant.
    
      Frank Parker Ufford for respondent.
   no opinion.
