ABLE LESSON
Cleveland, Jan. ga case has just been
completed in tho Common Pleas Court
which is good lesson to those not ac
quaintcd with the laws regarding bank
checks payable on sight. The suit was
brought more than a year ago by George
Lewis, of Youngstown, against John J.
Date ct Al. Lewis came TO this city few
days before the breaking up of Jay Cooke
q Co, and sold to the defendants S5 900
worth of gold, taking in pay their check for
for that amount on Jay Cooke & Co., Of
New York. He did not vast the money at
once, and accordingly held the check. to be
cashed at his convenience Meanwhile Jay
Cook Il Co. became insolvent, and theil
bank was closed. Lewis had not drawn his
money, and his check was then worthless
lie sued TO recover the amount named.
The law in such cases is that after q check
is given the receiver is given only one day
10 have The same cashed, or ifpRyable else
where than where it was drawn sufiicien
time is given to send it by mail to thai
place. Meanwhile if the bank fails th
holder of the check is responsible only tt
himself In this case the cheek was no
drawn in proper time and the bank failed
leaving his check worthless piece Of pa
per. In his petition plaintiff claimed tho
several days after the check was given h
met one of the defendants, and said to hir
that he had not yet had that check cashed
and the reply was that it would be all righ
anyhow. The defendants denied IN TOT
fny such conversation, and rested only o
the law.
