Entering short

Entering short. When bills not due are paid into a bank by a customer, it is the custom of some bankers not to carry the amount of the bills directly to his credit, but to 'enter them short,' as it is called, i.e., to note down the receipt of the bills, their amounts, and the times when they become due in a previous column of the page, and the amounts when received are carried forward into the usual cash column.

If the banker becomes bankrupt, the property in bills entered short, and not credited to the customer unless by way of advance, does not pass to his trustee, but the customer is entitled to them if they remain in his hands, or to their proceeds, if received, subject to any lien the banker may have...
