The chief differences between a check and bill of exchange are: 1, that a check is not due until presented, and, consequently, can be negotiated any time before presentment, and yet not subject the holder to any equities existing between the previous parties; 2, that the drawer of a check is not discharged for want of immediate presentment with due diligence; while the drawer of a bill of exchange is ; 3, that the death of the drawer of a check rescinds the authority of the banker to pay it; while the death of the drawer of a bill of exchange does not alter the relation of the parties. A check ought to be drawn within the State where the bank is situated, because if not so drawn it becomes a foreign bill of exchange, subject to mercantile law; requiring that it be protested, and that due diligence be used in presenting it, in order to hold the drawer and indorsers. A check being payable on demand, is not to be accepted. There is a practice, however, of making checks good , by the banker, which fixes his responsibility to pay that particular check when presented; and amounts, in fact, to an acceptance. Such a marking is called certifying , and a check so marked is called a certified check. (Sports.)
