Frazier v. Johnston

Opinion of the Court

WRIGHT, J.

We think the statute does not dispense with notice to an endorser. The act referred to, on certain kinds of paper, may possibly enlarge the time for a demand of the drawer, and dispense with a prosecution of the drawer to insolvency. So far, the act may settle what shall be due diligence; but the act is silent as 132] *to the notice; because, as we suppose, it was not intended to alter the law merchant in that particular. The defendant is entitled to a verdict.

Verdict accordingly, and judgment for the defendant.
