Description
THIS was an action of assumpsit, instituted in the Circuit Court of the United States, for the southern Circuit of New-York; by William Konig, a merchant of Amsterdam, carrying on business under the firm of William Konig & Co. against the defendants, merchants in New-York, trading under the firm of Le Roy, Bayard & Co. The action was upon a foreign bill of exchange, and the declaration charges, that the same was drawn at Baltimore, on the 2d day of September, 1822, by John C. Delprat, on N. & J. & R. Van Staphorst, of Amsterdam, in Holland, at sixty days sight, for 21,500 florins, in favour of the defendants, and made payable to them, or order. That the defendants, on the fourth of September, in the same year, endorsed the same to L. H. Huder, who endorsed it to Rougemont & Behrends–and that they, on the 25th of November, 1822, presented the bill, (the same being unaccepted and unpaid,) to the drawees, for acceptance, by whom acceptance was refused, and the bill protested for non-acceptance; and that the plaintiff on the same day, at Amsterdam, to prevent the bill from being sent back to the defendants, did, under that protest, and for the honour and account of the defendants, accept the bill, in writing, and gave notice thereof to the defendants.
