Holder’s right to duplicate of lost bill
(1)
Where a bill has been lost before it is overdue, the person who was the holder
of it may apply to the drawer to give him another bill of the same tenor, giving
security to the drawer, if required, to indemnify him against all persons whomsoever
in case the bill alleged to have been lost shall be found again.
(2)
If the drawer, on request as aforesaid, refuses to give such duplicate bill, he
may be compelled to do so.
