The presentment of a note or bill for payment ought to be made on the day it becomes due ,
and notice of non -
payment given ,
otherwise the holder will lose the security of the drawer and endorsers of a bill and the endorsers of a promissory note ,
and in case the note or bill be payable at a particular place and the money lodged there for its payment ,
the holder would probably have no recourse against the maker or acceptor ,
if he did not present them on the day ,
and the money should be lost .
