The last- Act of tt.e Session, says the Emvpmn Mtrit, was to amend the law relating to "creased dur t u <s." It is now in operation, repealing two former Acts, and declaring the law on the subject. There are general and special crossings. A "general creasing" means where a cheque bears across its face an addition of the words " and company," or an abbreviation thereof between two parallel transversa lines simply, or with or without the words " not negotiable." A "special crossing" is where thi name of a banker is put. The public are now informed "that where a chequa is uncrossed, a lawful holder may cross it generally or specially." Where a cheque is crossed generally or specially, a lawful add the words " not negotiable." Where a cheque is crossed specially, the banker to whom it is crossed may again cross it to another banker, his agent, for collection. A crossing authorised by this Act is to be deemed a material part of the cheque, and it is not lawful for any person to obliterate, or, except as authorised by the Act, to add or alter the crossing. There are twelve sections? in the Act in reference to "crossed cheques."
