Harry Cover of this place presented at our
bank here (Birely g. Osler) check drawn
payable to his order for elxty.five dollars by
s. w. Barrick s. Sons on the WoOdsboro
Savings Bank. The check was cashed and
after having been presented in its usual
course OF exchange for payment, it was pro-
tested by the Woodsboro Savings Bank.
Birely & Osler called upon the endorser Of
the check to return the money but was re.
fused and failing to receive returns for the
check they brought suit against S. W, Bar
rick s. Sons before Judge VIM. ], Black and
! obtained judgment for the amount Of check,
protest charges and costs Barrick appealed
claiming the check was given by him and
was properly drawn but that he did not re.
ceive value as the check was given for horse
which proved to be worthless At the time
the check Was presented at the Woodsboro
bank he had enough balance to his credit to
pay 1t. If Birely & Osler should fail to gain
this case it would be unsafe for any banks to
cash checks on the strength Of the worth of
tuC luhhCi rs ali "'uiu uCpCuo upoh viz
worth of the endorser and as checks are given
by the thousand 10 parties whose endorse
ment would be worthless. In event Of try
ing to recover from them the present banking
methods of cashing checks would be very
| unsafe method to follow.
Common sense aside from any point of law
would tell all banks to keep lookout on all
checks drawn by s. w. Barrick d Sons or
any other firm not endorsed by parties thor
oughly able to redeem the checks in event of
their not being honored at the bank drawn
upon even though the bank held at the time
sufficient funds to the credit of the maker to
meet the check.
