| WHAT ARE CUISINES Horns ?"-Among
the cases recently decided by the Supreme
Court Of PerEsy lrauiI IS one Of great i'm
! portance in explanation Of tue extent Of the
responsibility Of endorsers. The law-mer-
chant provides that endorsers upon notes or
| bills of exchange shall be responsible in case
| of nou-paymeDt by the makers. But to fix
| this liability upon them it must be shown
| that demand was made of the maker with
| in reasonable time "ufter the note or bill
| was due, and that payment was refused or
| neglected. Under our custom in PennSyl-
vania the time for demand has generally
| been held 10 be the day on which the note or
| bill was due. In the case which called Tor
| the opirion of the Court the demand had
| been made of the maker, 1t Is alleged, on the
part Of the plaintiff on the day When the
note was due. The reply was that if such
| demand Was ever made it was not at rca-
Sonablc time, at proper hours, nor of the
| maker nor any Of his clerks. The defendant,
| in fact. alleges against the notarial certificate
| sought 10 | e made available that the demand
was not made in busincSS-hours 1t his place
! of business, nor in reasonable hours 1T his
| residence.
The decision OF the court seems 10 sustain
| the position that he demand must be made
at a business place in ordinary business
| hours, but that it will be good if made out
| Of such hours il the maker Of the notes has
clerk, and agents ut either II, ice where The
demand is made. a demand OF payment at
the place of business is not sufficient al I'M
proper hours. In regard to demand at the
| dwelling OF the maker, the court lays down
| the following rule in relation TO tue Time:
Where it is payable at private house 1t
| should be demanded at Il reasonable time,
and not 50 late in the day or so early in the
| mornin. that it may be presumed the family
| is in bed. Expect to find business
| men in their banks and offices only during
| business hours, and to make the demand at
such places out Of such hours would be
useless formalty. So, to make tue presenta'
ton ut Il mans house at midnight is TO make
it when, from the nature Of things, the
maker is unprepared to pay, although he
| may have the will and the means to do so.'-
