LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day
-4.- -
SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Gibbons.)

RAILWAY COUPONS-SAMUELS Y. THE CARMARTHEN AND

CARDIGAN RAILWAY COMPANY.

This was an action to recover a sum of money upon some
warrants or coupons of the defendants' company.
Plaintiff stated that the company had offices in Chatham-
place, in the city, and that certain sums of money had been
raised on bonds, the warrants for which were made pay-
able at a bank in London. Plaintiff, as the holder of these
warrants, presented them to the bank, but there were no
advices for payment.
His Honour, upon looking at the warrants, could hardly
see how plaintiff was in a position to sue upon them.
Plaintiff replied that the bank had paid similar coupons
when they were presented.
His Honour did not think the Court had jurisdiction.
Plaintiff—But the company has large offices in Chatham-
place, and employs three or four clerks.
His Honour-31y difficulty does• not aris?, from any
question of locality, but I am not quite satisfied that these
documents bind the company. Have you possession of
the bonds upon which the coupons were given ?
Plaintiff—No, nor can I get them ; but I apprehend that
for all present purposes those are the bonds.
His Honour—Oh, no ; they are the coupons or English
warrants.

Plaintiff—And at the bottom your honour will find the
words, " this warrant paid on presentation."
His Hpnour—You see that there is not even .a cheque.
If it were a cheque it is quite clear that a stamp would be
required. In my opinion the company is only liable to the
holder of a bond, and I do not think they can pay the
money to any one else.

Plaintiff—l think if your honour looks into the docu-
Rent you will find that it is a promise to pay the holder
certain monies.

* His Honour—l confess that lam not quite satisfied with
the document, but will treat it as an I 0 U, as no one
appears for the company. You will have judgment upon
it as an I 0 U.
Verdict for plaintiff with costs.

A BRAVE MAN.—Mr. Joseph Cox, who is cox-
swain of the Appledore, North Devon Lifeboat, has
during the last forty years assisted in the lifeboat in saving
170 persons from various vessels wrecked on Bideford Bar.
Cox is now in his sixty-third year, but is still hale and
hearty. The secretary of the National Lifeboat Institution
visited the Appledore Lifeboat Station on Monday last,
when he found everything in excellent order, and reflect-
ing much credit on the brave old man. It is most interest-
ing to hear him narrate his hairbreadth escapes during
storms which appalled the lookers-on and even some men
of his own crew ; but his daring and perseverance over-
came, under Providence, every difficulty. It sometimes
occurred that his crew became completely exhausted
before accomplishing their mission of mercy—the fierce
storm, the huge waves, and the intense frost Cow"
pletely paralysing them. Some four or five years ago his
crews were actually changed four times between the hours
of six in the morning and eight at night, when several
wrecks took place on the bar; but Cox never flinched for it
moment ; he remained then, as on all previous occasions,
fixed to the lifeboat's helm. He has received every hono-
rary decoration which the National Lifeboat Institution
could confer on him, in addition to his salary as coxswain
of its lifeboat. He is also employed by the Trinity House
to look after the buoys on Bideford Bar. His admiration
of the new lifeboat which the institution was enabled to
send to Appledore through the generosity of the late Rev.
F. W. Hope, about twelve months ago, is unbounded. He
admits that there is no sea that he would not face with the
boat. On the opposite shore, on Braunton Sands, the in-
stitution maintains another first-class lifeboat station. The
house there has been built on piles fixed in the sands, and
is far from any dwelling, if we except the lighthouse, which
is about a mile from it. The secretary of the National
Lifeboat Institution has recently visited nearly all the
lifeboats on the coasts of Devon and Cornwall. He 11°
found the boats everywhere in excellent order, and their
crews thoroughly satisfied with them, and with the pay-
ments they so promptly receive from the parent institution
for their services.
MELANCHOLY DEATH OF AN OFFlCER.—Yesterday
