A circumstance of unusual interest iva- tlic outcome of a cheque recently issued by a Christchuich estate agent. Upon getting his statement a Dunedin client replied thai lie liad not received an amount shown as having been sent him the previous quarter. The banker was interviewed when it wa> found that the cheque had been presented by a tradesman of a ccunI try town, but the endorsement was a forgery. Though payable to order, j the bank disclaimed liability, alleg'ug that were they to stop to satisfy themselves as to bona fides of every signature on the back of a cheque i'. wou'rl retard business. The detectives elicited the information that a gentle-manly-looking young fellow had presented the cheque to the cashier of Hie tradesman, slating that he was the person to whom it was payable, '.id the tradesman, holding that it had been cashed in good faith, declined to refund. A summons was issued, and the lawyers on both sides having consulted, the defendant e.ectcd lo pay the claim and Court' fees without inking the matter before the Bench. I: appears, therefore, that a better safeguard than making a cheque payable to order is to mark it "non-nego-tiable," and then anyone cashing it other than the person to whom it is fo" will do so knowing that it i* t his i>,vn risk.—Lyttelton Times.
