honour of any party liable thereon, or for the honour of the
person for whose account the bill is drawn.

(2) Where two or more persons offer to pay a bill for
the honour of different partics, the person whose payment
will discharge most parties to the bill shall have the
preference.

(3) Payment for honour supra protest, in order to
operate as such and not as a mere voluntary payment, must
be attested by a notarial act of honour which may be ap-
pended to the protest or form an extension of it.

(4) The notarial act of honour must be founded on a
declaration made by the paycr for honour, or his agent in
that behalf, declaring his intention to pay the bill for
honour, and for whose honour he pays.

(5) Where a bill has been paid for honour, all parties
subsequent to the party for whose honour it is paid are
discharged, but the payer for honour is subrogated for, and
succeeds to both the rights and duties of, the holder as
regards the party for whose honour he pays, and all parties
liable to that party.

(6) The payer for honour on paying to the holder the
amount of the bill and the notarial expenses incidental to
its dishonour is entitled to receive both the bill itself and
the protest. If the holder do not on demand deliver them
up, he shall be liable to the payer for honour in damages.

(7) Where the holder of a bill refuses to reccive
payment supra protest he shall lose his right of recourse
against any party who would have been discharged by
such payment.

Lost instruments.

69. Where a bill has been lost before it is overdue, the
person who was the holder of it may apply to the drawer to
give him another bill of the same tenor, giving security to
the drawer, if required, to indemnify him against all
persons whatever in case the bill alleged to have been lost
shall be found again.

If the drawer on request as aforesaid refuses to give such
duplicate bill, he may be compelled to do so.
