Crossed cheques
Crossed cheques. It is very usual for the drawer of a cheque to write across it, between two parallel lines, the name of the payee's banker, in which case the banker on whom the cheque is drawn should only pay to that banker; in other cases, as when the drawer is unaware of the payee's banker, it is usual for himto write merelythe words 'and Co.,' leaving it to the payee to add the ename of his banker if the payee so intends, or if the parallel lines are left in blank except of the words 'and Co.' the cheque canonly be paid by the Bank on whom it is drawn to or through a Bank. This serves as some security in case the cheque is lost, since it can only be paid through a banker, and moreover postpones in some measure the payment until the clearing hours in the afternoon. See Bills of Exchange Act, 1882 (45 & 46 Vict. c. 50), ss. 76-80; and (English) Bills of Exchange (Crossed Cheques) Act, 1906 (6 Edw. 7, c. 17) passed in consequence of Capital and Counties Bank v.

Directly
Directly, The word 'directly', according to Webster's New World Dictionary, means 'in a direct way, without a person or thing coming between'; 'immediately as directly responsible', The use of the expression 'directly' in the context of the word 'worked', followed by the words 'by him' unmistakably shows that the Legislative intent was to allow only those intermediaries to retain land comprised nor appertaining to a mine, as lessees under the State, who immediately before the date of vesting, were working the mine under their immediate control, management and supervision. Thus construed, the phrase 'being directly worked by him' in the s. will not take in a case where the mine was being worked through a lessee or licensee to whom the right to conduct mining operations and to take away the mineral had been granted by the intermediary in consideration of receiving a periodic rent, royalty or a like amount, Shri Shri Tarakeshwar Sio Thakur Jiu v. Bar Dass Dey & Co. (1979) 3 SCC 106: AIR 1...
