App. 594, and 119 Ill. 407.\nThe case was tried by the court without a jury, and the finding of the court settles the first question, which is one of fact, that is, did the bank release Thomas, when it continued to do business with Oalcford, under the same name as when Thomas was a member of the firm ?\nThe other question is of law: Are checks paid by a bank, without funds of the drawer in its possession t\u00f3 meet them, \u201c written contracts \u201d under Sec. 16 of the Limitation Act, so that ten, and not five, years is a bar ? In principle there is no difference between this case and Hart v. Otis, 41 Ill. App. 431.\nThat a check on a bank, where the drawer keeps an account, implies a promise by the drawer to the bank to pay if the bank will honor it, and his account is thereby overdrawn, \u201c is too clear to require discussion.\u201d\nThe finding and judgment for the bank on the checks which overdrew the account are right, and the judgment is affirmed.\nJudgment affirmed.",
