About This Item
Vicksburg, Mississippi, March 3, 1838. [1]p. Document Signed. 10 x 8 inches. Partly printed; contemporary docketing. Folds; minor wear; some foxing; good.
Legal instrument of protest signed by Alexander H. Arthur, Notary Public for the Office of the Planters' Bank of the State of Mississippi at Vicksburg.
Arthur declares that he presented a bank note for $267.73 to the Planters' Bank and that the teller there "...refused to pay the same, saying that the drawers not accepted [sic] had made no deposit of funds for that purpose." Arthur's formal protest was made on behalf of "Robert Riddle, Esq., Cashier and holder of the original Note." A copy of this note, signed by H.G. Bankston and Wm. Burton, is copied out at the bottom of the document. The note had been originally issued to the firm Jennings & Drone. Docketing on the verso mentions "Damages $214.23."
In addition to being a notary, Alexander H. Arthur was, at some point, the editor of the Vicksburg Tri-Weekly Whig a director of the Southern Railroad Company, and a member of the Vicksburg city council.
An early Mississippi banking item and legal instrument.
