 Pozvers ef attorney.-The Superior Court, on Saturday last, made an impor- tant decision on this subject, which can not be too generally known. A note, endorsed under power of attorney, was discounted by one of the banks il this city, and the proceeds drawn out by the agent. It appeared, however, that that the day previous, the principal, to whom the note belonged, and who resided in Massachusetts, had died, without any knowledge of the event on the part ei- ther of the bank or the agent. The courtheld that the endorsement was void, that by the common law, death, wheth- CT known or not, operates as an instan- taneous revocation; and that,a as neces- sary consequence, the bank could not recover on the note. The principle of the decision, as will be seen, is equally applicable to the case of a transfer oi stock, or any other act done undera pow er.-G y. Mer. AdD.
