OVERDRAFT

To draw bills or cheeks upon an individual, bank or other corporation, for a greater amount of funds than the party who draws is entitled to. 2. When a person has overdrawn his account without any intention to do so, and afterwards gives a check on a bank, the holder is required to present it, and on refusal of payment to give notice to the maker, in order to hold him bound for it; but when the maker had overdrawn the bank knowingly, and had no funds there between the time the check was given and its presentment, the notice is not requisite.
