Hart v. McLellan
Hart v. McLellan
80 Me. 95; 13 A. 272; 1888 Me. LEXIS 20
Hart v. McLellan
Opinion of the Court
Assumpsit against the indorser of a negotiable promissory note payable at aplace certain.
A careful consideration of the evidence fails to show legal notice to the defendant of the dishonor of the note.
The notice seasonably mailed was not addressed to a post-office in the city of defendant’s residence, nor, as the authorities cited by defendant’s counsel clearly show, was reasonable diligence used to ascertain the defendant’s proper address.
Judgment for defendant.
