SURRENDER OF COLLATERAL DE-
POSTED TO SECURE A NOTE,
WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE
ACCOMMODATION ENDORSER,
RELEASES THE ENDORSER PRO
TANTO. OR DISCHARGES HIM.
This was an action on IL note for $1,000
executed by defendant Nimocks to the
defendant Macarthur. and by the latter
endorsed to plaintiff. Macarthur was
an accommodation endorser OF the
note, and the plaintiff bank had held
certain collateral for its payment
which amounted to more than the bal
ancc due on 1t, several credits having
been put upon the note. The plaintiff,
without notice to, or the consent of the
endorscr. surrendered the collateral
without making any credit therefor on
the $4,000 note. The collateral surren-
dered was solvent and ample to pay
the balance due on the note. There
was Il judgment for defendant and
plaintiff appealed.
The court SAYS:
The plaintiff contends that the So
called Slocomb note which was eXecut-
ed by Nimocks as principal and Slo-
comb as surety, was placed in the bank
by Nimocks merely for collection. In
nearly all transactions there are GER
tain Inherent probabilities. which are
strongly marked in the case at bar. 1t
seems scarcely reasonable to suppose
mat the maker OF a note remaining
sun It's owner. should place his own
note In bank, to be collected from him
self. and placed to his own credit. 1t
seems more probable that the surety
was willing to indorse for only Il thous-
ana dollars. and that the maker need
ing greater sum. was willing to re-
ileVe his principal indorser pro tanto
by The deposit us collateral security of
inc smaller note. This view was un-
G0ubtedly taken by the jury. Cases are
often complicated by the testimony of
witnesses. who, however honest may be
their intentions, testify to assumed
facts which are in reality merely con-
clusionS of law. Viewing the Slocomb
Eote as collateral security to the note
in suit, It's surrender to Slocomb with
out The consent of the defendant one
rated as release pro tanto: and, rs
II was for an amount greater than the
balance due on the note in suit, the
Judgment must be affirmed.

The farmers are beginning to
fence their lands, and the result il
that people driving through the
country cannot drive around the
bad spots in the roads but must
drive through them, often at great
risk to their vehicles and them
selves. This will in many locali-
ties necessitate the immediate
erection Of high grades that can be
driven over in safety throughout
the year. However if fencing the
farms will result in giving us good
roads it is likely to prove a bless
ing in disguise.
