stop payment

Sailed with crew and elephant to cash check before G. Ward can get ashore to stop payment.

Very frequently banks have been obliged to stop payment; that is, to refuse to perform their promises.

The bank should be notified to stop payment on the lost check, and you can then send another check in place of the first one.

We are held responsible for all checks passed after we have received notice to stop payment.

But you have the upper hand, you know, for if I become too impertinent, you can always stop payment on your checks.
