SUIT over CHECK
Interesting Question Arises in
Case Tried in Justice
Schroeder's Court.
PAYMENT WAS PROTESTED
Controversy Based on Allegation That
One Endorsement of Paper Was
Forgery.

A very interesting point of law is in
volved in a civil case which was tried
before Justice Schroeder yesterday af
ternoon, with the negotiable instrument
act passed by the last general assem-
bly, the code on which the question was
raised. The question is, can a note
properly made be cashed by third or
fourth party if it passes out of the line
in which it is endorsed, or, if it is
forged in the endorsement by one par
ty, then cashed by another, can the
last party hold the maker of the check
responsible for its payment?
The controversy, in which Alexander
Pollock of this city is the plaintiff and
p V. Clark is the defendant, had it's
origin from protest of payment of a
check issued by Clarke at the Union
Savings bank of Davenport.
Signature Not Good.
The check in question was issued by
Clarke to Tony Sendro for the sum of
S22.10 on the Union Savings bank. On
the check appeared the signature of
Tony Sendro. 1t appears from the tes-
timOny taken i'll the case, that broth
er of Tony Sendro presented the check
to Pollock in payment for clothes to
the amount of $40, and he received
500 in cash. In this connection il was
charged by the defense that the sig
nature of Tony Sendro was forged, and
therefore the contention was that it
had passed out of the line of endorse,
ment and r. V. Clarke was no longer
responsible TO Pollock. A protest of
payment was entered at the Union Saw.
| ings bank of Davenport, and the de
| Tense claimed that this was also a de
Tense, as Clarke received no notice OF
| a protest.
Protested Ii Himself.
When the testimony was concluded
| it appeared that the note was properly
endorsed and that Clarke himself had
entered aiprOtest of payment. Justice
Schroeder rendered judgment in favor
of the plaintiff.
| H. NJ. McCaskrin represented the
plaintiff and Ludolph & Reynolds the
defendant.
