DYER V. DANIELLE,

This was an action on a bill of vx:ihange for 171.
Mr. T. Beard defended on the ground that defendant,
who was the indorser of the bill, ha l not received notice
of dishonour, and that the bill had been passed to plain-
tiff with consideration. Tile bill bad been paid to a
person named Roe, who now said that he paid it to
plaintiff on ace bunt of a debt, but he did not indorse it
to Dyer. Dyer, the plaintiff, had also handed it to some
one el,e, as he said, to present, but there was no evi
deuce of presentation, and the case was adjourned with
costs to defendant.
