At sight and on presentment denote demand for payment; after sight requires presentment or acceptance before payment. The statutory definitions treat 'at sight' and 'on presentment' as meaning payment or enforcement on demand for promissory notes and bills of exchange. 'After sight' delays enforceability: in promissory notes it applies after presentment for sight; in bills of exchange it applies after acceptance, or noting for non-acceptance, or protest for non-acceptance.
