ROBERTSON V. REALES. „ RIO
IMPORTANT QUESTION AS TO NOTICE TO D--/„.,11
or BILLS or EXCHANGE.—The plaintiff in this 913h-
was described as of Lancaster, and the defendants,
o 5
was the drawer, is a well•known auctioneer. Defend
was sued as the drawer of the bill, and pleaded th°
had not received due notice of dishonour. ere
The bill was put in in evidence, and the signatures II of
admitted to be genuine. A notice of the dishonow
the bill was tendered. t
ics
defendant, W. PAYNE (the City Coroner), as counsel for
defendant, objeeted to the notice being read. The 13'60...
professed to be from Mackinson, Saunders, and
penter, solicitors to the plaintiff; but the two „dod
partners died before the bill became due. The LOP
Counsel contended that a notice given in the name °
non-existing firm could not be received.
The Learned SECONDARY said he would receive tie,
notice, giving leave to defendant to move the COI"
above on the point.
Mr. PAYNE then urged that the notice did not di,";
close the name of the principal, the now plaintiff, 03'
said that he would prove that the bill had been dis
counted by Mr. Saunders, and that it had been handed
over to the firm by Mr. Saunders, and that the plaintl
name was mere moonshine to carry costs, as Mrs. Seel3;
dera, who was the real party interested, might have sae'
in tho County Court.
Mrs. Saunders was caTied, and proved that she sent al
bill to the firm to demand payment, but she did not
know into whose hands t subsequently passed.
The Learned SECONDARY said the main question
raised on the record was whether or not due notice had
been given of the dish.)nour of the bill—he though:
there had; any
without thenotice
notice o f dishonour would be sufficie'
proof of authority, ors banker's no
would not hold good.

jury hesitated, and said that there was no ems'
den that the alleged plaintiff existed.
