Since our last the wind continued blowing
strong from the S. and S. W. Last night it greatly
Increased, and until now has oothr:ed to blow
w::h wnremitting violence. In the morning there
WUS a considerable cleat Of thunder ,and lightning,

COURT OF XING'S lAENCti, bec. 19,

RAMStbTTOM V. ‘VOOWiHnIIPE.

This. was an action brought by the bankers against
Nr. Fan, is Woodthorpe, as the aeceptoy of one
Iri! of exchange for 290/. and the drawer and in-
&net of another for 2,1751. under nearly the
saute eu cumstanees-as the case of RamshottOni c.
Jo,es, whicii we rePorted on Monday week. It
sin cured th:it the first of these bills was remitted
11. Messrs. Harvey of the Billericay and Rochford
to the plaintiffs, on the 4th of April, 1814,
and the -second on the 12th of May, and that they
ivcre entered short by the plaintiffs in their
ac. otii4 with Messrs. H. It will berecollected,
that Mr. J.. W. Harvey' absconded with the
balance of his own private account with the
plaintiffs, acid all the money he could collect
from his own bank, on the 16th of ,May ; that
one of the plaintiffs went down to Essex soon
after Wards, and, being satisfied, notwithstanding
Mr. j: W. H.'s going to France, of the solvency
of the house, •afterwards advanced about 8,000/.
to Messrs. H. ; that a
,separate commission. was
sued oat against him on the 24th, on which day the •
plaititlffs:d %counted the bills in question ; tl at the
plaintiffs went on paying for Messrs. Harveys till
'the 23t1 or 24th of June, and that the joint com-
mission against Messrs. H. is dated the Bth of July„
The plaintiff's clerk proved that their liotie would
• have kept the bills in question though they had been
dishonoured, if they should not have hem satisfied
with Messrs. 1-I.*s other securities ; andfLord EL-
LENBottouGa ruled that the plaintiff had the entire
dominion Over these bills.- As a general principle,
it was true that if a ciistomer's account was good
with his banker, he might withdraw any bills
placed in the latter's hands as an agent to 'get ac-
cepted and paid before they were due ; but if the
hanker gave the customer immediate credit upon the
suit ngth of depositing the bills, they could not be
withdrawn till the .banker was satisfied for his lien
upon t Item. In the case of Itamshottom v. J oyes,
the only_ doubtful point was, whether the Harveys
and the plaintiffs had received the bills on the
sante terms: in that case, the former had received
them in some qualified tiannier, and tile latter had
trotiee of those qualified circumstances, which in-
duced his Lordship to give more weight to.the
opinion than perhaps belonged to it, that they
were bound by the saute equity. •For the rest,
the bankruptcy of Messrs. H. 'did not signify a
farthing : the plaintiffs' entire power, over the
bills was never changed; let the Harveys he bank-
rupt or solvent. . As their right to the ;bills was
therefore entire,. they •had- full power to discount
theta, or purchase what they pleased with them,
unless that right was qualified by the communi-
cation Of the circumstances under which the Har-
ve:,•s acquired theni. The balance of his opinion
was, that even that communication could not alter
their rights ; for it
.they had once by a transmis-
sion of . the hills acquired a dominion over them,
nothing but a renunciation of theie,rightS could
take thew away.; If his Lordship. were, therefore,
now called upon to decide.this case, he should say
the plaintiffs' right could not be affected by the
after contnamication of these equitable circuiu
St a liCes.

It
.was agreed, however, that the plaintiffs
should take their verdict, subject to the entry of
a nonsnit, if the, Court should think they ought
not to recover, upon the oase reserved of Rants-
bottom v. Joyes.

dant.
