• 14 Cal. 408

Syllabus

<p>A notamai. certificate of protest of a note is of itself presumptive evidence that the Notary had authority from the proper parties to make the protest.</p> <p>It need not state that the persons requesting him to protest are the holders of the note, or the agents of the holders.</p> <p>Although a protest is a nullity, unless made at the request of parties entitled to direct it, still the objection must appear from proof that such parties are strangers to the note, not from the mere omission in the certificate to state the fact of their interest.</p>
