Syllabus

<p>Promissory Note. Signed by agent. Liability of indorser. Notice of non-payment.</p> <p>Where one in executing a note has added after his signature the word “ agent,” the payee cannot be made liable on his indorsement of the paper, without proof of presentment to, and notice of non-payment by, the person signing. No principal being named, such person will be deemed the maker in fixing liability under the indorsement. Presentment to another, through the real principal, is ineffectual to bind the indorser.</p>
