Check
A written order or request addressed to a bank or persons carrying on the banking business and drawn upon them by a party having money in their hands, requesting them to pay on presentment to a person therein named or to bearer, a named sum of money.

It is said that checks are uniformly payable to bearer. But that is not so in practice in the United States where they are generally payable to bearer, but sometimes they are payable to order.

Checks are negotiable instruments, as bills of exchange; though, strictly speaking, they are due before payment has been demanded, in which respect they differ from promissory notes and bills of exchange payable on a particular day.

The differences between a common check and a bill of exchange are; First, that a check may be taken after it is overdue and still the holder is not subject to the equities wbich may exist between the drawer and the party from whom he receives it; in the case of bills of exchange, the holder is subject to such equity. Secondly, the drawer of a bill of exchange is liable only on the condition that it be presented in due time, and if it be dishonored, that he has had notice; but such is not the case with a check. No delay will excuse the drawer of it, unless he has suffered some loss or injury on that account and then only pro tanto.

There is a kind of check known by the name of memorandum checks; these are given in general with an understanding that they are not to be presented at the bank on which they are drawn for payment; and, as between the parties, they have no other effect than an IOU or common due bill; but third persons who become the holders of them for a valuable consideration, without notice have all the rights which the holders of ordinary cheeks can lawfully claim.

Giving a creditor a check on a bank does not constitute payment of a debt. But a tender was held good when made by a check contained in a letter, requesting a receipt in return, which the plaintiff sent back, demanding a larger sum without objecting to the nature of the tender.

A check delivered by a testator in his lifetime to a person as a gift and not presented till after his death, was considered as a part of his will and allowed to be proved as such.

check
n. A hardware-detected error condition, most commonly used to refer to actual hardware failures rather than software-induced traps. E.g., a `parity check' is the result of a hardware-detected parity error. Recorded here because the word often humorously extended to non-technical problems. For example, the term `child check' has been used to refer to the problems caused by a small child who is curious to know what happens when s/he presses all the cute buttons on a computer's console (of course, this particular problem could have been prevented with molly-guards).
