Bearing Date

Words frequently used in pleading and conveyancing to introduce the date which has been put upon an instrument. When, in a declaration, the plaintiff alleges that the defendant made his promissory note on such a day, he will not be considered as having alleged that it bore date on that day, so as to cause a variance between the declaration and the note produced bearing a different date.
