The facts of this case, as set forth in the judgement, were as follows:---

The attorney of the plaintiff stated that the plaintiff had accepted & promissory. tiete, N. 12, for the amount of 100,000 yen, isened by the Toyokawa Railway Company on the 21st February last, and another note, No. 19, ale for 100,000 yen, issued on the same day, both falling due on the 21st August last, which notes the defendant had endorsed under the date of the 23rd February last. On the day of the maturity of the notes, the plaintiff presented then to the drawer and demanded myment, which was refused. On the following day the plaintiff made a note of refusal of payment and issued on the same day a note of demand upon the defendnat for the payment of the 200,000 yen in question. The defendant refused payment. Defendant had pleaded in his sewer that whereas the place of payment was mentioned on each of the notes, the plaintiff presented them to the drawer at his place of residence and then made a note of refusal at that place to pay, and that the procedure thus taken was inconsistent with the provisions of the law. Plaintiff, however, denied this, but, granting that the facts were as stated in defondant's ples, the plaintiff, it was clear, presented the notes to the drawer at the place | of his residence, and then made a note of rofusal to pay at the same place, so that he did not omit to take any of the necessary forme- lities for the preservation of the right of
