New York Court of Appeals

Warren Ayrault Respondent v. the Pacific Bank, Appellant

February 27, 187247 N.Y. 570

Summary

The Court affirmed the judgment, holding that a bank that receives a note for collection is liable for negligence in failing to demand payment and give notice to indorsers, that a depositor's request to "protest" does not create a special contract limiting the bank's liability, and that exceptions to the charge that are not specific present no question for review.
