The bill was indorsed by Patterson in blank, and by a course of negotiation became the property of the bank of Passamaquoddy, and was indorsed by the cashier thereof in behalf of the bank, and came to the possession of the plaintiff by a subsequent indorsement. It was duly presented to the drawee and protested for non-acceptance, and due notice thereof given to the bank.”
