Syllabus

<p>Facton^remittance by draft. Where parties in this State shipped a car load of hogs to a commission merchant at Buffalo, New York, with instructions to sell and remit proceeds to them, the bailee having sold the hogs, and with the proceeds thereof purchased a draft from a banker of Buffalo on a house in New York city, in favor of the shippers, and remitted it to them on the day of sale, but when presented it was protested: Held, that as it was the custom of commission merchants at Buffalo to remit to their correspondents in that manner, and as the banker of whom the draft was purchased was in good credit when it was obtained, the commission merchant acted with due diligence and was not liable for the loss.</p>
