PARTIES TO NOTES, BILLS AND CHEQUES 


Where a part of the consideration
for which a person signed a promissory note, bill of exchange or cheque, though not consisting of money,
is ascertainable in money without collateral enquiry, and there has been a failure of that part, the sum
which a holder standing in immediate relation with such signer is entitled to receive from him is
proportionally reduced.
