historic definition...

No protest -- A draft or a promissory note so marked is not to be protested, or in other words, is not to go to protest if not paid ; a draft or a promissory note so marked is not subject to the protest fee charged by the bank or other agent entrusted with its collection. An indorsed draft or promissory note is sometimes marked "No protest" so that demand shall not be made upon the indorser for the payment of it. When a draft or a promissory note is received marked "No protest" and the instructions are to protest it if not paid the draft should be protested on the theory that to make a protest when not necessary is a less serious mistake than to omit a protest when one is necessary.
