_Form of a Foreign Bill of Exchange._
L100. Paris, June 1st, 18--
Sixty days after sight of this First of Exchange (Second and Third
unpaid) pay to the order of Messrs. Jones and Robinson, One Hundred
pounds sterling, value received; and charge to account, with or
without advice of
WILLIAM SMITH.
To Mr. Thomas Kelley, Manchester. Payable in London.
The naming of the payee admits of the same variations as are
exhibited in an ordinary Bill of Exchange. The time of payment may
be, in like manner, variously expressed. The term "usance" is
sometimes employed to express the period of running in foreign
bills. It means a certain time fixed by custom as between any two
places, and the period covered by a usance will therefore depend on
the places of drawing and payment.
