Robinson,  4  Howard  336,  for  the  reasoning  of  the  dissenting
Judge,  Mr.  Justice  McLean,  at  p.  350 ;  and  to  the  other
Fitler  v.  Morris,  6  Wharton  405,  where  the  judgment  of
the  Court  was  in  accordance  with  the  opinion  of  Judge
McLean.  In  each  of  these  cases  the  holder  of  a  bill  sought
to  excuse  the  not  giving  of  notice  of  dishonour,  by  the  ignor-
ance of  the  notary  protesting  it  of  the  place  of  residence  of
the  party  to  be  notified.  Upon  this  Judge  McLean  reasons
thus:  "  The  notary  did  not  act  for  himself,  but  as  agent  of
the  holder ;  and  it  was  proved  that  Robinson,  who  appears
to  have  been  the  holder,  resided  in  the  same  town  with  the
notary,  and  knePr  the  proper  direction  for  the  notices.
