the Meridian National Bank. The case
went to the Appellate Court on demurrer,
and In the opinion Judge Crumpacker holds
that demurrer neither of said para
graphs of answer states facts sufficient to
bar the plaintiffs action" does not raise
any question. The court decides that the
holder was guilty of laches. there being no
evidence that the paper was in circulation.
And provision in the draft for the issu-
ing of q duplicate after six months If the
original was lost or destroyed without pre-
sentation for pay ment would not give the
