Assumpsit, on a check. Error to the Superior Court of Cook County; the Hon. Nathaniel C. Sears. Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the October term, 1896.
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Gary
July 28, 1892, the bank had to the credit of one Harry Simon $546.85. The day before, Simon had given to the plaintiffs—here and below—his check for $252.36, which was presented for payment, and payment refused on the 29th of that month. On the 28th the bank had refused to pay other checks of Simon to the amount of $455. We assume that the reason for such refusals on the 28th was insufficient to justify the bank.
