45A. Holder’s
right to duplicate of lost bill.- Where a bill of
exchange 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 whatever in
case the bill alleged to have been lost shall be found again.
If the drawer on request as aforesaid refuses to give such
duplicate bill, he may be compelled to do so.
