Question 392. - Could the bank on which a marked cheque is drawn, which has been "raised" after marking, be held responsible for more than the original amount under any circumstances?

Answer. - Before Macmillan v. London Joint Stock Bank, the only case we can conceive where a colour of claim to hold the accepting bank responsible might have arisen would be one where it had accepted a cheque so drawn that the increased amount might be written in without any alteration being apparent.
