Certified O Checks.
From The Financial Rexiew


Ihe Illinois appellate court has recent,v
continued the mea Ming and legal effect of
certified check. The question arose nnon
the refusal of Chicago bank to cash a
certified check, presented by the controller
OF that city. No fraud nor irreguIaritv
was alleged, but payment was refused
upon the sole ground that the drawer of
the check had so redhested Upon the one
hand it was contended hat by certif,ca-
ton bark simply DECLARES that the draw
er had at the time a sufficient balance to
his credit to cash the check, but that
there is no guarantee that there will ne
such balance at any future time. AS a
necessary corrollary it was argued that
the drawer can stop payment of a certified
check. the same as any other check The
CT mira contention was that certification ct
check was declaration that \, .,au
taken fir )m the account Of the signer
enough money to ray II, and would hold
the same subject only to the drawee or
his assigns. The court entertained the
latter Contention, and thus gave effect to
the general understanding CT the effect of
certificati tion. 1t has Certainly been the
usual custom of banks to charge IN
against the account of a customer the
amount of any check certified for him:
and II it was afterward subject to his con
troll. 1t would have little more meaning
