2 D.C. 312

Vowell v. Patton

Decided May 15, 1822

Assumpsit against the indorser of Robert Munro’s promissory note due at Georgetown, D. C., on the 3d-6th of the month. It was protested on the 7th, and notice sent to the Farmers’ Bank of Alexandria on the same day.

Decided 1822-05-15

The Court(Thruston, J., absent,)

¶1instructed the jury, that evidence of leaving the notice at the post-office, was not sufficient evidence of notice, to charge the defendant; but that if the jury were satisfied by the evidence, that the defendant actually received the notice, on the day on which it was put into the post-office, the notice was sufficient. The Court, however, did not give any opinion whether the notice was in due time.
