lIPORTANT QUESTION AS TO NOTICE TO DRAWERS.:
OF BILLS OF EXCLIANGE.—The plaintiff in this aotiork
was described as ot Lancaster, and the defendant, wild!.
was the drawer, is t, well-known auctioneer. Defendant
was sued as the drawer of the bill, and pleaded that he
had not received due notice of dishonour.
The bill was put in in evidence, and the signatures were
admitted to be genuine. A notice of the dishonour of
the bill was tendered.
Mr. W. PAYNE (the City Coroner), as counsel for the
defendant, objected to the noose being read. The notice
professed to be from Mackinson, r3euuciere, god Car-
penter, Soliettora to the plaintiff ; bat the two Orator
partners (nett bet.re the bid !neckline due. The L earned
Counsel contended that a notice gives] In the name ot a
non-existing firm could not be rtc,ived.
The Learned SEC...NDARY said he would receive the
notice, giving leave to detendstut to move the Court
above on the point.
Mr. PAYNE then urged that the notice did not dis-

Raid the bill had been al
over to the firm by Mr. Saunders, and that the plaintiff's
name was mere moonshine to carry costa, as Mrs. Saun-
ders, who was the real pasty interested, might have sued
in the County Court.
Mrs. Saunders was called, and proved that she sent the
bill to the firm to demand payment, but she did not
know into whose hands it subsequently passed.
The Learned SECONDARY said the main question
raised on the record was whether or not due notice had
been given of the dishonour of the bill—he thought
there had; any notice of dishonour would be sufficient
without the proof of authority, or a banker's notice
would not hold good.
Mr. PAYNE intimated that he should take the opinion
of the Court above on the point.
The jury hesitated, and said that there was no evi-
dence that the alleged Plaintiff l • •

The SECONDARY said he •
must direot them on the
point of law to give a verdict the
