67 Ga. 624 | Ga. | 1881
This dictum, even of that eminent judge, would not of itself be sufficient to require us to hold that due notice of non-payment was not equivalent to notice of dishonor; but when word for word it was incorporated into the Code and made to have the effect of statute law, we are bound to its enforcement.
The charge of the court below was therefore right, wherein he instructed the jury that the notice to indorser to be good under the law, must express not only notice of demand and refusal, but of the protest of the note for nonpayment also.
This case is not covered by that of National Exchange Bank vs. Kimball, decided at the last term. In that case it was held that waiver of demand and notice was in effect waiver of demand, refusal and protest.
The error assigned in the next unconsidered ground as corrected by the judge needs no ruling, as it is not sustained.
Judgment affirmed.
