Gibson and Johnson Bill of Exchange Case Recounted
In a case brought by GOSLIMIG AND CO BANKERS against the assignees of Gibson and Johnson, the bill payable to a fictitious George Parsons, dated Manchester March 7 1788, with two months after date, faced scrutiny. The proceedings mirror the Minet and Fear ruling, with discussions on fictitious payees and the practice of Liveley Hargrave and Co. drawing bills to fake payees. The evidence shows repeated bills to fictitious payees, Manchester origin, and questions of acceptor knowledge. The matter may proceed to the Court of King's Bench.
