noting

if the bill has been duly presented for acceptance, or payment, and dishonored, and a minute made, at the time, of the steps taken, which is called noting the bill, the protest may be drawn up in form afterwards, at the convenience of the notary. And it has been held, if drawn up at any time before the trial, it will be sufficient... The minute contains a brief record of the facts which transpired on presenting the bill, and the protest, as subsequently made out, is but an extension of them in the customary form.

A term denoting the act of a notary in minuting on a bill of exchange, after it has been presented for acceptance or payment, the initials of his name, the date of the day, month, and year when such presentment was made, and the reason, if any has been assigned, for nonacceptance or nonpayment, together with his charge. The noting is not indispensable, it being only a part of the protest; it will not supply the protest. 4 Term R. 175. NOT 10 (Lat. from ?ioscere, to know).

In the civil law. The power of hearing and trying a matter of fact; the power or authority of a judex; the po Wer of hearing causes and of pronouncing sentence, without any degree of jurisdiction. Halifax, Anal. bk. 3, c. 8, Nos. 3, 6; Calv. Lex.

In a more general sense, notio included both cognitio (cognizance) and jurisdictio (jurisdiction). Dig. 50. 16. 99, pr.; Calv. Lex. NOTITIA (Lat. from notus, known, or noscere, to know).

In the civil law. Knowledge; information; intelligence. In Old Practice. Notice. Inde notttiam habuit, had notice thereof. 1 Ld. Raym. 70, 70. Notitia non debet claudicare, notice ought not to be lame or imperfect. 6 Coke, 29b. NOTITIA DICITUR A NOSCENDO; ET notitia non debet claudicare. Notice is called from a knowledge being had; and notice ought not to halt, i. e., be imperfect. 6 Coke, 29.

A term denoting the act of a notary in minuting on a bill of exchange, after it has been presented for acceptance or payment, the initials of his name, the date of the day, month, and year when such presentment was made, and the reason, if any has been assigned, for non-acceptance or non-payment, together with his charge. The noting is not indispensable, it being only a part of the protest; it will not supply the protest; 4 Term 175. NOT 10. The power of hearing and trying a matter of fact. Calv. Lex.

<As soon as a notary has made presentment and demand of a bill of exchange, or at some seasonable hour of the same day, he makes a minute on the bill, or on a ticket attached thereto, or in his book of registry, consisting of his initials, the month, day, and year, the refusal of acceptance or payment, the reason, if any, assigned for such refusal, and his charges of protest. This is the preliminary step towards the protest, and is called “noting.” 2 Daniel, Neg. Inst. § 989.

The minute made on a bill of exchange by the officer at the time of refusal of acceptance or payment. Consists of his initials, the month, day, year, and his charges for minuting, and is considered as preparatory to protest.^
