In this case, being a competitor creditors, the objection was made to an accepted bill, That it was not subscribed by the drawer; which objection the Court considered to be obviated by the circumstance of the creditor's name being indorsed on the bill, over which stood receipts for partial payments. The name of the drawer was likewise inferred in gremio of the bill.

The Court therefore repelled the objection.
