Dillahunty v. Parry
Dillahunty v. Parry
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the Court.
In this case, it is not necessary to decide whether notice should be given to the drawer of a demand made of an accommodation acceptor and of his refusal to pay It is clear that the drawers of this bill intended that it should circulate as a bank note, not that it should have the character of an ordinary bill of exchange. Hobbs had no interest in it; he accepted merely as the servant of the drawers. They did not intend that he should incur any liability. He had no office of his own when he accepted; and for some time before the commencement of the suit, was out of the employment of the drawers and residing out of the State. Under these circumstances, wear e of opinion that the Circuit Court erred in requiring proof of a demand of the drawers. Let the judgement be reversed and the cause be remanded.
