48 BILLS OF EXCHANGE AND PROMISSORY NOTES. [ART. 13

allow, to return the bill accepted or non-accepted to the holder,
he will be deemed to have accepted the same.

157. A bill may be accepted before it has been signed by the
drawer, or while otherwise incomplete, or when it is overdue, or
after it has been dishonored by a previous refusal to accept, or
by non-payment. But when a bill payable after sight is dis-
honored by non-acceptance and the drawee subsequently accepts
it, the holder, in the absence of any different agreement, is enti-

159. An acceptance to pay at a particular place is a general
acceptance unless it expressly states that the bill is to be paid
there only and not elsewhere.

2. Partial—that is to say, an acceptance to pay part only of
the amount for which the bill is drawn;

3. Local—that is to say, an acceptance to pay only at a partic-

4. Qualified as to time;

5. The acceptance of some one or more of the drawees, but
not of all.

161. The holder may refuse to take a qualified acceptance,
and if he does not obtain an unqualified acceptance, he may treat
the bill as dishonored by non-acceptance. Where a qualified
acceptance is taken, the drawer and indorsers are discharged
from liability on the bill, unless they have expressly or impliedly
authorized the holder to take a qualified acceptance, or subse-
quently assent thereto. "When the drawer or an indorser receives
