Supreme Court of Missouri October 15, 1865 (Ivory v. Bank of State)

Lovelace, Judge,

delivered the opinion of the court.

” The first question in this case is, whether the instrument, which forms the basis of the action, is a bill of exchange, and as such entitled to days of grace. Kent has defined a bill of exchange to be “ a written order or request, by one person to another, for the payment of money, absolutely and at all events.” (Kent’s Com. § 44, p. 74.
