MII2IBO Of TINE 8111POWSERS.—A large meet-
ing of Tyne shipowners was held co Thursday at North
Shields, the Mayor alTynemouth la the chair, to take into
consideration the passel depressed state of the shipping in-
terest, and to adopt • petition to parliament on the snjeot.
There were deputations from Newcastle, South Shields, and
other shlp,piag planes, and the Hon. H. 8. Liddell, Mr. Hugh
•Laizika M.P., sod other pntlemea spoke. The Hon. H. S.
M.P., could give the meeting no hope that
the legislature would ever allow government to
enforce reciprocity in any form ; and Mr. Hugh
Taylor, M. expressed an opinion that steam
vessels would beat sailing_ vessels out of the lead-
ing Europese markets. He therefore advised • pru-
dent investment by shipowners in steam shipping property.
Resolutions were passed expressing " dismay" at the manner
in which the shipping of other nations is " displacing" that of
Great Britain, sad coulsesnisig the existing law se establish-
ing "an injurious protective bounty in favour of aliens." •
patios to parliament was also agreed to, praying for the ap-
yoio et • committee to investigate the cause of "this
e 3 prees~bn in British shipping," and suggesting that "if
found to originate in unfair competition with foreign vessels,
then the Queen in Conseil shall put in force the power vested
in her by clauses 10 and 11 in Act 12 and 13 Victor* to tax
vessels In • similar manner to which our ships are
taxed in
their ports."
IMPORTANT DZCISION.—As important decision
respecting the payment of the half of a Bank of England
note has just been given in the Sheriff's Court of Glasgow.
The fame of the men are as follows :—ln the month of
March, 1869, Mr. W. Rhodes, rag dealer, Halifax. York-
shire, sent an order for 104 worth of rags to a dealer in such
erthiles, named Nathaniel Turner, at Edinburgh. With the
order Rhodes enclosed the half of a 101. Bank of England
note, promising that on receipt of the goods he would remit
the remaining half of the note. Turner, however, not only
failed to send the goods, but paid the half-nete to
another person, named Dixon, for • supply of rags which
he had sold and delivered to Turner, the letter under-
taking to deliver to Dixon the other half of the said note,
thereby defrauding Rhodes, vibe stopped payment of the
note ; and in August last Dixon presented to the bank the
half-note, applying for payment of the whole note, which
was refused, and he was referred to Rhodes; the parties
having up to this time been in ignorance that wick possessed
the severed half. A correspondence ensued between them,
which resulted in mutual explanations as to the manner
is which Rhodes parted with, sad Disco received, the
half note ; and eventually Rhodes reqqired Dixon to deliver
the note up to him, which the latter refused. Accordingly
an action was brought by Rhodes against Dixon, which was
tried in the Sheriff's Court, Glasgow, the ludgtnent Oa which
was given on the 6th inst. by Mr. Sheriff Sandlot; who
decided that, M point of law, Rhodes, in the transmission of
the half.note to Turner, did not quit the right of
thereto, but by the retention of the remaining L'7,11181:
controlled the nee of the entire note, and so prevented its
negotiability; and that Dixon, by receiving the halt-note
from Turner, did pot acquire any bile to the satire note,
but, on the contrary, he accepted the half-note at his own
risk and peril. Rhodes was, Moreton,. entitled to mein
the half-note from Dm" sad the sheriff ordered it to be
delimited up to Rhodes, with expenses.
