Question Ss6. - A bank receives on deposit from one of its customers a sight draft which is sent for collection to a branch of La Banque Ville Marie. The latter remit by draft on the head office, but before the draft can be presented the institution closed its doors. Can the first bank look to its customer for the amount?
