Check \Check\, a.
Checkered; designed in checks.
[1913 Webster]
From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) : [ jargon ]
check n. A hardware-detected error condition, most commonly used to
refer to actual hardware failures rather than software-induced traps.
E.g., a `parity check' is the result of a hardware-detected parity
error. Recorded here because the word often humorously extended to
non-technical problems. For example, the term `child check' has been
used to refer to the problems caused by a small child who is curious to
know what happens when s/he presses all the cute buttons on a computer's
console (of course, this particular problem could have been prevented
with molly-guards).

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) : [ bouvier ]
CHECK, contracts. A written order or request, addressed to a bank or persons
carrying on the banking business, and drawn upon them by a party having
money in their hands, requesting them to pay on presentment to a person
therein named or to bearer, a named sum of money.
2. It is said that checks are uniformly payable to bearer Chit. on
Bills, 411; but that is not so in practice in the United States. they are
generally payable to bearer, but sometimes they are payable to order.
3. Cheeks are negotiable instruments, as bills of exchange; though,
strictly speaking, they are due before payment has been demanded, i$n which
respect they differ from promissory notes and bills of exchange payable on a
particular day. 7 T. R. 430.
4. The differences between a common check and a bill of exchange, are,
First, that a check may be taken after it is overdue, and still the holder
is not subject to the equities which may exist between the drawer and the
party 'from whom he receives it; in the case of bills of exchange, the
holder is subject to such equity. 3 John. Cas. 5, 9; 9 B. & Cr. 388.
Secondly, the drawer of a bill of exchange is liable only on the condition
that it be presented in due time, and, if it be dishonored, that he has had
notice; but such is not the case with a check, no delay will excuse the
drawer of it, unless he has suffered some loss or injury on that account,
and then only pro tanto. 3 Kent, Com. 104 n. 5th ed.; 8 John. Cas. 2; Story,
Prom. Notes, Sec. 492.
5. There is a kind of check known by the name of memorandum cheeks;
these are given in general with an understanding that they are not to be
presented at the bank on which they are drawn for payment; and, as between
the parties, they have no other effect than an IOU, or common due bill; but
third persons who become the holders of them, for a valuable consideration,
without notice, have all the rights which the holders of ordinary cheeks can
lawfully claim. Story, Prom. Notes, Sec. 499.
6. Giving a creditor a cheek on a bank does not constitute payment of a
debt. 1 Hall, 56, 78; 7 S. & R. 116; 2 Pick. 204; 4 John. 296. See 3 Rand.
481. But a tender was held good when made by a check contained in a letter,
requesting a receipt in return, which the plaintiff sent back, demanding a
larger sum, without objecting to the nature of the tender. 3 Bouv. Inst. n.
2436.
7. A cheek delivered by a testator in his lifetime to a person as a
gift, and not presented till after his death, was considered as a part of
his will, and allowed to be proved as such. 3 Curt. Ecc. R. 650. Vide,
generally,4 John. R. 304; 7 John. R. 26; 2 Ves. jr. 111; Yelv. 4, b, note; 7
