 Lizardi & Co. was much in debt to his banking firm, and being pressed to reduce his balance, gave to the banker a draft or order on Mr Misa for the amount of the four bills.This draft or order was dated on the 14th, though it was, in fact, written on the 13th, and then delivered to the banker.On the morning of the 14th the manager of Misa's business gave a cheque for the amount of the order, which was then given up to him.
