The opinion
Per Curiam : ' ¡
This case was before the Appellate Division at the July term in 1900, when a judgment in favor of.the plaintiff was reversed on-account -of' the unexplained delay of the plaintiff in collecting the check which . was given in conditional payment for the.goods.sold . and delivered. ' (53 App, Div. 486.) ' . ' . •
Upon the trial which the present appeal brings up for review is was made distinctly to appear that, the person whose check upon the Perth Amboy Bank was given in payment of the plaintiff’s account had settled with that bank in such a way as to incur no loss by .reason of .the failure of .the institution. Under these circumstances the delay in the presentation of the check did him no damage, and would- not be available to him as a' defense' in case the defendant, -should-endeavor to enforce payment' thereof-. As it is now "claimed that the defendants have not actually paid for the property which they purchased from the plaintiff; and that the- plaintiff has in no' wise harmed them or the -maker of .the check by his manner of. dealing with it, it follows that the judgment is right and- should be affirmed. ■ . ■ • ■
