Sixth—Whore the check is cortified.for the purpose known to the bank of giving it credit for negotiatians or circulation, to be used as money, and it is so passed into tho hands of third persons, the bank would be bound, though the case might be otherwise, when it was only cer tified to give the party presoutiug it as- surauoo that it was good for his own sat isfaction iu taking it. Seventh—But it is clear that a verbal reply, that a chock is “good,” given for tho information of tho party about to re- ooive it, extends only to matters of which the bank had knowledge, or is presumed to have by tho law, unless ho is told that more extended information is expected or askod for, as to the vulidity of tho chock Mr. Justice Miller delivered the opin io the case of Burke against Gregg et al., from the Supromu Court of Loaisiana, in whioh the question was wbutlier a sule of real ostate, made iu pursuance of an order of tho Provisional Court of Louisi ana, was operative to pass title after the surrender of the Rebel forces in that Dis trict, wheu tbo torius of the ordor creat ing the court limited its existence to tho restoration of civil authority iu tho State. Tho Court answerod in tho affirmative, holding that notwithstanding tho cessa tion of actual hostilities, military rule prevailed in tbo city of Now Orleans, and iu the State, long after that event, and after the salo in controversy. This fact is conclusive proof that tho civil authority was not restored wheu tho sale was or dered, uud that tho Provisional Court was iu tho rightful exercise of its authority.
