Noting
Noting, when a promissory note or bill of exchange has been dishonoured by non-acceptance or non-payment, the holder may cause such dishonour to be noted by a notary public upon the instrument, or upon a paper attached thereto, or partly upon each.Such notes must be made within a reasonable time after dishonour, and must specify the date of dishonour, the reason, if any, assigned for such dishonour, or if the instrument has not been expressly dishonoured, the reason why the holder treats it as dishonoured, and the notary's charges. [Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 (26 of 1881), s. 99]--The making of a memorandum or note on a bill of exchange by a notary which states that he has presented the bill for payment or acceptance, and that it has been dishonoured. It is usual, in cases of non-payment of bills of exchange, for London bankers, after six o'clock on the day upon which the bills fall due, to cause inland bills to be noted. The duty of a notary in protesting a bill consists in thre...
Bank-notes, or Bank-bills
Bank-notes, or Bank-bills, written or printed promises for money, to be paid by a banking company. They are uniformly made payable on demand. They are not like bills of exchange, mere securities or documents for debt, nor are they so esteemed, but are treated as money in the ordinary course and transactions of business by the general consent of mankind, and, on payment of them, whenever a receipt is required, it is always given as for money, not as for securities or notes. Per Lord Mansfield, Miller v. Race, (1758) 1 Burr at p. 457. Bank of England notes were made a legal tender by the 5th section of the Bank of England Act, 1833 (3 & 4 Wm. 4, c. 98), as amended, everywhere except at the Bank and its branches.One-pound notes and ten-shilling notes are now issued by the Bank of England, under the authority of the (English) Currency and Bank Notes (Amendment) Act, 1928, and made a legal tender for a payment of any amount. The notes first issued were found to be easy to forge, and they we...
Bought and Sold Notes
Bought and Sold Notes. It is no longer the custom for brokers who have succeeded in making a contract to make any entry in their books save for their own private information, and it is now almost the universal practice to regard the bought and sold notes as the proper evidence of the contract. The broker sends to the seller a 'sold note' and to the buyer a 'bought note,' these being now the usual terms, though formerly their use was sometimes the converse. When each note discloses the name of both parties to the transaction, each is a complete memorandum of the bargain. When each note only discloses the name of one party, the two may be treated as one memorandum. The bought and sold notes are deemed to constitute a single document, and if they differ materially they are nullities unless one has been assented to by the parties as containing the terms of the contract.Every contract note for or relating to the sale or purchase of any stock or marketable security must be stamped when the v...
