 iirnmint of ii imli' niiiilc liy one .lnhii Turner in following trrins :

 This note is indorsed in hiniik hy Hall. 
 Two points ure iiiude in the special defence lo the urliiiii. 
 I. The deiniind iind pmlest w;is iiisiilVicient lo bind iiidorser. 
 
 'i. TImt ihiTc Hiis II spi ciiil !i}{ieeni('iil hel\Ken ("hiiriil)''rlin iiid Itidl when llie note was tiMiisfened, ilmt 
 11 sliuidd 1)1- taken by ("liaiiilierlin al his ciHii risk and without neiiiirse to Ball. 
 
 Ill support of the first of lliist' points respondent iiivoki's tlw protest as it is tiled of record. It does nut 
 meet the reiiiiirenii'nts of 1!J section of Vi Vie. c. 'J'2. The rule of preseiiliiienl In ease of note payable 
 (leiierallv is that it shall be piesented to the maker personally, or at his then place of residence or business. 
 The exception is ill case of absence of maker from liis residence or phice ol business, or of his having no 
 known residence, or of his death, that the demand may be made at his nsual residence or place of business 
 or his las! known residence. Ir is coiiti iided here that neither the rule nor the exception has been followed. 
 The eertificiili' of the notary is iii these terms — "did e.vhibil the oiiginal promissory note whereof a true 
 cop\ is al)o\e wrilleii unto a f>niwii personal tlaUiot'd in Slierbrooke, called " the Slierbrooke Mouse," kept 
 bv the said Wrif^ht Chaiiiberlin, being the usual place of abode and business of the said .bilm Tiinier the 
 promiser thereid'when in Sherbrooki'." 
 
 This is not :i pri'sentinept at the residence or place of business of John Turner. The lanuua^e is quite 
 eoiisisieiit with Turner's either having or not having a permanent residence or place of business in Slier- 
 lirooke, but doi's not assert liihir. It is ei|uiv<ical, and eonse(|iiently of no value as certifying a fact. The 
 onlv condition bv which such pii.>seiitiiienlionld al all meet the requirements of the law would lie the absence 
 or death of Turner ; neither of \\n:<r fads appear by the protest. Of what value is such a protest ■ It was 
 a presentment lo I'haiiilierlin at t'liaiiilierliirs llolel, not lo Turner. The di'inaiid was made of a grown 
 person. Il<' may liavebei'ii an idiot \<r a ('hinamaii for all that appears to the contrary by the protest. 
 
 In s«|iport of the .second ground of defence rispondent calls attention to the circumstances which appear, 
 luside from direct evidiiice of the conlrai't not to have recourse to Ball. The note was for 19214.17. For 
 this lial! received ("hamlierlin's note for iJfiO payable at !(0 days, and a lileinished horse which he sold for 
 •*tlO(). Is it reasonable lo Mqipose that Ball would have inaile himself liable ill ten days for 1SI5J14.17 for 
 cash ii(iO which he could only rcalizi in ninety days, and a horsi' vhicli.he could not easily rcmliee cash for 
 at iftlOO ■ .\gain, why ilid Ball and Cbiimberliii call a witness (Loiigee) to attest that Chainberliii took this 
 note at his own risk .= W'lial occasion of a witness at all if the indorsement were absolute .' Another cir- 
 cumstance to enhance the probability that respondent's assertions are correct is the fact proved by Rexford 
 that Chaiiiberlin was indebted to Turner when lie acquired the role, and knew he was safe In releasing Ball, 
 The iipnellaiil contends that parol teslimony cannot be admitted to proven contract of this kind between first 
 indorser and his immediate iiiilorsee. The authorities cited herewith will show that this position is incorrect. 
 Tin' American authoriiies are numerous and ileeisive upon this point, and the principles upon which these 
 American I'lises are based are laid down liy the English books. It is no violation of the inaxiin that parol 
 evidence cannot be admitted against the terms of a written contract. An indorsement in blank has one, or 
 two nieaniiigs, and one or both Is or are perfectly consistent with the terms of the writing. The one mean- 
 ing Is that the signature indorsed conveys to the indorsee or holder the right in the note which the indorser as 
 pavee has against the maker. The other includes this first, and the further obligation to pay if the maker 
 does not upon due presentment and protest. I'arol evidence is admissible to show as between these two par- 
 tics whether one m- both of those contracts are Included in the blank indorsement, by showing the cii-cum- 
 stances which induced the indorsement, and what objects theDai-tles were desirous to obtain. The authorities 
 cited below will, it is submitted, sustain this vi.'W.

 " Where an executory agreement not within the Sliiliite of Frauds expresses no consideiiition, you may 
 show what the consideration aeluully was. Upon a like principle a blank indorsement of a note or bill of 
 exchange does nut as between the immediate piirlies preclude evidence of contemporaneous piind sllpiila- 
 tions, showing that a reslricli'd operation was inleiided to be given by the signatnre, or that the tninsfer was 
 upon trust and not absolute, for in these cases the written engagement was lefl incomplete liy ilie parlies." 
 This i-i siislained by a host of authorities. See Cowen's Notes to Phillip's Evidence, Am. Ed. of IN.'jO, p. fiOO. 
 
 " If there be a verbal iigreeinent between the first indorser and his immediate indorsee, that llii' indorsee

 Qufilion — Were you nt the Inn of the pinintilf in thi« cituiin in Shtirhrooko, wlwn pluiiililT and d«r«ndnni 
 iraduil Willi rvgurd to u nolu uf uno John Turner, un or nhuul the 17tli day of Miiy lust f 
 
 Anaierr — I wos. ,..,.«' ■ „'",, ' i. 
 
 liurttion — Did yon hear any iiKreomnnt or convorautiuii, lietwcun pluiiititT and di>rciulant, on that occaHiiin 
 with regard to the said note .' 
 
 (Plaililiir objectH to the adduction of imrol eviilence to contradict the tcrins of the wrillen cmitiiii'l.) Re- 
 si^rved hy the Jnilge at eni|Uetc, and evidence ordered to he taken ile bi^ne esue, 
 
 Anniprr — I did. I whs at .Mr. ('hainlierliira Inn in the nflcrnunn, in the hur-ruom. This was .some (time) 
 afh'r plainlifl' and defendant hud made the hargain aiiout the note and defendant culled iiic to the bur near 
 which plnintiir and dcfundnnt were standing, aa a witnesH. There was u note for about two hundred and 
 fourteen dollars as near us I cun recollect it, which defendant let pliiintifT have, hut whose note I did not 
 know ut Iho time. Defendant said in the prese ce and hearing of phiintitT that he would let him have this 
 note for a horse and sixty dollars, and tliut he, plaiiitiir, was to run the risk of getting the note, but I cannot 
 say that any iiunie was mentioned, but my iiiijircssiun at the time was that ho was to get the money for the 
 note from the inakur. I cannot say that the piaintitT said uiiything, but I suppo.sed that it was perfectly un- 
 derstood by the parties at tho time, 1 cannot suy that phiintin made any objection to this, and 1 suppose they 
 were perfectly witislied at the lime, PlaiiitifT did not make any objection to tho statement of Ikill in my 
 hearing. PhiintifT has since spukcn to me about this note, and has mentioned Mr. Turner's name as being 
 the maker thereof. 
 
 QiieHion — Did you on this occasion hear the plaintiff say that if the maker of the note was not good for 
 it, he supposed the delcndant in this cause would be, or anything to ihut etTect } 
 
 Anticrr — No. I cannot siiy thai i did. I did not pay much attention to il. I was called expressly to 
 witness the agreement as staled by liall, and not objected to by Chaml)oriin. 
 
 Quenliim — Did you or did you not at the time distinctly understand tho agreement between plaintiff iind 
 defendant to be thai plaintiff should run his risk of j;etting his pay on the note from the iii.iker, and that he 
 should not hold the defendant liable for the amount ? 
 
 Anxircr — Thai was my iiiijin-ssion a! the time. That is, that was my understanding of the agreement at 
 llie lime. 
 
 QufalioH — Did yon or did you not at the time you wen' culled as witness a» aforesaid, hear the delindani 
 in thi« ciiiisR say to the plaintiff that piainiilf was to run his risk of getting the pay for the note he bad trans- 
 fernd to him of the maker thereof, or wonis to that effect, and was it not for the purpose of witnessing this 
 agreement that you were called up ? 
 
 Answer — I cannot say that ho was to run tho risk of getting his pay from Tunwir or from somebody else. 
 .My impression was at the time that ho was to got his pay from the maker of the note, whoever he might be. 
 
 QiKslion — Dill not the defendant on this occasion say to ihe pluintitr in stating their agreement that he, 
 defendant, was to he freed from the note, or words lo that tfTect, and did you not so understand the ugree- 
 ineiit you were called upon to witness .' 
 
 AiiHirfr — Yes. I understood it 
 
 Od.i.'i-cjrt/ninfJ, without waiver if ■lijections, I was not present while the bargain was made between 
 pliiiniitf and defendant in this cause. The conversation which I have mentioned in my examination in chief, 
 tiHik place shortly after the bargain I have spoken of. I was not shown the said note by either party, and I 
 dill not know what wert^ even the terms or conditions of said note, nor who was Ihe maker of Siiid note. 
 
 Qiieslioii — Did the defendant state distinctly in yuur presence that plaintiff was to run his own risk of get- 
 ting his pay from ihe maker of the note ? 
 
 Ansirir — I could not say that he stated that pluintitf was to run his risk of getting his pay from the maker 
 of the note, but I so understood it ut the time. There was nothing said about the maker of the note. 
 
 Qiirstiiin — Did you not hear the said platnliff say that " of course if one of the parties was not good he 
 lu'pod the other was," or words to that effect ? 
 
 Ansinr — I cannot say that I heard anything of that kind said. It might have been said without my re- 
 niinking it, as I did not pay much attention, thinking there was no difficulty between the parties. 
 
 Ri-rjianiinalii)ii — As I understood it, this was die completion of the tnidu at the time when I was called 
 up, and pluintitf was putting the note in his pocket, and wns just stepping round from the bar. 
 
 AHENKR LOWELL, of Hutley, Farnier— 
 
 Some time in the forepart of last summer I was at Sherbrookc, and I had some conversation with plaintiff 
 n'specting a note against John Turner which he had bought of defendant. 
 
 Qiifslinn — State what the conversation was respecting said note, to the best of your recollection .' 
 
 (ObjecleU to by plaintiff as illegal. Objection reserved.) 
 
 Ansirer — 1 asked plaintiff if ho had lioiight n note of defendant, and he said he had. I usked him how 
 lie traded for it, and he told mo how he traded for it. I asked him if (he) held Mr. Ball responsible for it or 
 Mr. 'I'liriler, and he replied Mr. Tiuiier, of course. 
 
 Qiicslinii — Did you or not put the question to him sons to ascertain whiMher he bought the note solely upon 
 llie rospoiisibilily of Turner, or whether he iiicaiit lo hold Turner and defendant .'
