Lord Ellenborough says that a 0 llnn is not obligod to ne-lect aill other 1, bubiness that he may present a cluck 0 t immediately ; butl he can only claim 1 a reasoiable time. The highest Eng; a HI aulthority is this sumied uip: c "If a check be not, presented witlin d a ronsonable time, the party on wiotm P it is drawn will bejustified i ieusing t to pay it ; and the holder will lose his recourse upon the drawer." Exactly 0 What is "reasonable time" must de- a1 perd on the ciroumstanices. In Eng. a land, if ceeks are drawn 1pon a hank R in the ie plao where they tire i. ti uied, they must be presented "either that day or next day at furthest" to bring the holders certainly m ithin the t. privilege If the tim) etondis beyond fl this, the prosecuit.>n thero iiiut fur- t' ish norne evidence of having used ti the diligence, and piovo tha' tho de. fault was not through his caren!esnPR or tiegloot.
