Their | constantly use in Europe is} but its} | extension has been hampered by certain conditions. One of these} be that in Europe a bank paying ja cheque not for} identification of the holder. When |cheques came into general use in| |} England they were almost invari- ably made to bearer When drawers began to make} |them payable to order the bank- }ers got a section into the Stamp } Act of 1853 which specifically re-! lieved them from liability for wrongful payment, except re- gards the signature of the drawer. From the standpoint of the banker, this system has much ad- vantage over the American tem, it relieves him of re- sponsibility. It in giving increasing, is responsible payable as sys- since results to cheques so great a degree of negoliability that when lost stolen they have practically the character of currency and can be} ished without difficulty by finder Objection to U. S. System. There strong opposition} among European } is The original purpose of this so- called crossing was to permit the insertion between the lines of the name of a bank, When such a crossing ap- peared it meant that the cheque was payable only by deposit in a bank account. In other words, only a man who had an account could colleet such a cheque, and he could oniy have it put to his credit, and not paid in cash di- rectly. So well established had the systenmr become in England that where transverse lines ap- pear with only the words ‘‘and company’ between them, it is taken to mean that the cheque may come back through = § any bank to the institution on which it is drawn, bul that it cannot be paid by any bank in currency to the holder, except at his own risk. Where the name of the institu- tion through which the cheque is to be paid is inserted in the crossing, it is called “specially crossed" where no name is in- serted it is defined as “generally crossed,” Hanging for Forgery. The of this that a crossed cheque is the result system in hands of a dishonest holder can- not be collected without great diMleulty,. \ dishonest holder might conceivably forge an in- dorsement to himself, but if he deposited it in his own account he could readily be traced as the forger, and few forgers can af- ford to maintain bank accounts in their own names for the pur- pose of executing forgeries. Forgery was one of the early perils of early banking. Less than a century ago the Bank of England prosecuted 142 persons in a single year for complicity in forgeries. The erime was then punishable with hanging. A dis- tivetive paper was adopted by the bank in 1855 and was care- fully guarded, Some counterfeiters who stole some of the paper in 1862 were sentenced to penal servitude for life, Forgery by professionals has declined of late years, but aateurs still yield to the temp- tation of doctoring cheques. The greatest discouragement to these gentry has been the adoption of safety Safety tints, as manufactured by the ordinary lithographers, although they have papers, been on the market for forty years, have not proved a com- plete protection, Tf sueh tints are really sensitive, they are also sensitive to moisture, and on this account cannot be easily han- died in the ordinary course of business. ‘The moisture of the hand frequently removes a por- tion of the tint, thus giving to a genuine document the appear- ance of having been altered, Security Against Alteration.
