of advances refused., and of capital withdrawn from commerce,
in consequenCe of the state of the law."
,Mr. Martin the banker also speaks to advances having been
refused, by his house, since: the state of the law has been under-
stood in the city ; .and. 111 r! Doxat, Mr. Ryland, Mr.. Loc-
kwood, and indeed the great body of the witnesses examined,
declare, some of them, that their advances have already been
narrowed ;. and all, that as soon as the law becomes well
known, their advances must be continel to, persons upon whose
.
persohal /whom- they can rely:
few of the cases cited in the report will illustrate the ex-
cessive hardship of, this law ; under which, if a broker receive
goods from a factor (not knowing him to be such), and make
advances upon those goods to the fader ending sales, in such
advances he is not protected against the claim of the principal.
Gilliaa, corn-factor, (a witness before the Com-
mittee), says". In the year 1884, :-.- I was connected with a Mr.
VaUderhoven, who was in the habit of consigning to me con-
siderably, And drawing bills to the amount, or nearly so, of his
consignments. In 180.1, November and December, Mt, D.
VanderhOven sent me two cargoes of Wheat, and drew for their
whole value; these cargoes were shipped at Amsterdam and
Elbing ;he residing in London. In the beginning of the year,
1895, Mr. D. Vanderhoven stopped payment. His brother,
Mr. Vanderhoven the elder then cadre over from Amsterdam,
and demanded the wheats Orme ; producing a certificate from
D. Vanderhoven (who had felled) that those wheats had been
consigned to him by Vanderhoven and Co. of Amsterdam.—
The amount of the wheat was tool. I consulted my attorney,
Mr. Druce ; and he told me he feared it would be necessary to
deliver it up. Vanderhoven of Amsterdam, Who had been un.
der obligation to me, said (as it was a very hard case) he would
share the loss and dirt so."

Mr. Charles Ogleby states fictitious cise as occurring to him..
self:—" I have had an instance of a bill of lading being sent
to this country by a person abroad ; the goods shipped in that
same person's nam e,and he representing himself as th e prop ri ctor
of the goods. I laid an attachment upon those goods, the man
being a debtor of mine ; and when I came to the Lord Mayor's
Court to take the benefit of my attachment, a Frenchman, who
bad never been heard of until that day, came forward and swore
point blank that the goods were his. Sir John Sylvester, who
was then living, gave it against me. I did not lose the goods
after all; for I immediately laid another attachment, and wait-
ed another twelvemonth to see whether ,the merchant (the
Frenchman) would come forward and swear again; intimating,
in the mean time, that 1 had got such inforthation from the
the part of France that became from, as would enable me to
indict him for perjury. Ile never came forward, and I got the
goods at last; but that was no thanks to the situation of the
law • it was from the man flinching."
111. r. E. B. In the year 1000, application was made
to the firm of Blache and Kemble, by parties having considerable
consignments of cone here, for an advance upon the coffee ; the
object being stated to be that of meeting bills drawn by the
owner : ,12,0001. was paid by lilache and Kemble to the parties
fconsignees) on the credit of this coffee ; that failed, and the
coffee teas demanded by the original shippers m Jamaica. On
the opinion of Sir Vicary Gibbs, then Attorney4ientral, the
property wee, given up, without throwing., away gaol money
after had, by going to law.
Mr: ItYland's case is interesting fmm theilictaof the Judges in it.
‘k Duclos v. Ryland," 5 Moore's Reports; and Mr. Yates, who
attended site Committee on the part of the Liverpool petitioners,
states a variety of cases of hardship, as occurring to himself or
within his knowledge. And the whole mass of evidence at.
taclied_to the report goes to declare that (beyond possession)
there are no means of ascertaining property in merchandise.
C 'eppted to 'fi'y B 'for 4 loan upon goods, has no possible
power of distovering whether the goods belong to B or to A
(unknown,..i
. _ _

All the witneases, agreed that a bill of lading can ,carry no
certainty upon the point. B may have bought the goods, and
• may produce n biltof parcels for them, yet that helps nothing.
Nay, B may have Ought the goods of C himself, and yet that
gives Cno security as to the property. See Mr. Joshua Lock-
wood's account of his case, " Guichard v. Morgan and Lock-
wood," before the cotnmittee i.--," In the year 1818 wo (Morgan
and Lockwood) WM' applied to by )IThatsrs. Burmester and
Co. We were in the seed,trade. They came to us as specu-
latitrit on their own account in the article of clever seed, and
purchased,. about 10004 , worth, which they paid tbr, and
left in our hands. A slew time idler that, they purchased
another parcel .of • the Same 'magnitude, which theY Alm)
left in a similar way. Pour or five months after, they ap-
plied to me• to advance, some snoney on this seed, which
:they had. always spoken of 'as their own. Being pressed, I
aavartee4 the stint .2,900/. by acceptances. Markets continuing
trafavoUrable, wilseld the sreed for them, and held it till they
failed, , The day after their failure, we received a letter from
Messrs. Ouichard and Co' ~ claiming one moiety of the seed as
their property (bought for diem), anti desiring restitution. On
the trial, the Judge summed up against us; but the Jury, feel-
ing the hardship of, the case, gave U.I a verdict. 'flue corm-
quence was, a new trial, with a verdict against us I so we had
to deliver up the seed, and pay the costa of both actions."
The Committee speaks very truly of the impossibility or con.
tinning a law like this, after once it becomes generally known ; i
and of the multitude of frauds which must naturally arise out 1
of it. Indeed, it would not merely stop factors from borrowing
money upon the goods of their principals, back would go near
to prevent the lending of money (upon goods) altogether. A
common shop pawn-broker, for instance, i$ made liable in a
moment. A, in Birmingham, sends plate to It in London,
with orders to sell. B carries it as his own to a pawn-broker,
anti pledges it for five-sixths of its value ; he then 11411.1„! and
A takes back his property. Say all this is a juggle between A
and It, anti what defence has the pawn-broker against it ?
lint apart front every other consideration, justice seems to
demand the protection of the third party, or pawnee, in pre.
forum to that of • the original proprietor. The original prod
pri?.tor chooses his own !went. lie finds out it ;Tian (it being
his own care to look to himself) ; takes him up of his own will,
and trusts him with his property. But the broker or capitalist
(the pawnee) does nothing at all like this. lie lcnows nothing
of agent B (except his general repute in the world) ; he never
meditate,' trusting him ; but }islands his money (without trust.
ing any bedy) upon the security of goods put into his hands.
And here, what hecomea of that law whiCh is every liars
practice, by . which property placed in a man's possession
with colour of its being his own, becomes absolutely, as if
it were his own, liable to the claims of third persons p if
A, being the proprietor of furnittwe in a house, suffers B
w have the apparent ownership of that furniture, so that C,
upon the faiths of it, gives him (It) credit ; then, although
with the fullest evidence that the property beloangtis
capitalist:
-..
comes ,subjeet nevertheless to the credit given' by C. Now
this is precisely the case of principal, f4ctor, n
The first is the man who induces the lan to lend; for he puts.
Into the hands of the second the very goods upon which (alone)
the third trusts him. _ . __

--- ..... - .•-___ _____
The same argument applies to the second division of the in.:
quiry before the Committetas to the purchase of merehandize
from holders, not invested with the power of sale.
" If a person should deposit lead with a wharfinger for safe
custody, and the wharfinger should sell it and receive the value,
the pith:baser will be liable to pay the money a second time to
the trite owner, because he deposited his goods with wharfinger,
whose proper business was not to sell, although he was, In
fact, in the habit of selling (as all wharfingers almost are), and
was a dealer in leatL"
Upon this law the Committee fbrbears to enter at length
treating it, however, as one which exposes merchants to great
risk in their ordinary purchases. And certainly the case is at
least an unreasonable one; itecause it in fitet amounts to this.—
that A elects to trust somebody and happens to trus t a rogue, and
thereforeCshall pay the loss, who treat to trust nobody. The

The strongest proof of the necessity of protecting advances
made by capitalists, is to be found in the declarations often,
who are themselves consignees and first owners. Meroh'Srts
receive goods from correspondents, which arc drawn against to
three-fourths of their value,' before they arrive ; without these
advances, the trade could not possibly go on ; and 'yet if it hap.
pens, as it does constantly, that the consignor is not the real
owner, the original
.proprietor may step In and rticlaira his
goods, without repaying them.Mr. Dorat says in his evidence, that there are no means of
ascertaining who is or is not a real proprietor.
Mr. Jameson and Mr. billies say the same thing. Mr. Far.
rand says, that without such advances as those which are now
unprotected, general commerce "would not go on. •
Mr. Ryland, speaking of the necessity of making advances,
says, "I am doing it now fur corn coming from Scotland. I
believe the man shipping it is not the real owner; hut I pay
his bills, anti must do it. . „ • •
Mr. Terni, of Ancona, should speak for himself. .
" Are you largely engaged in consigning silks and other goods
• '
to this country 2.—Yes.
" Are you the proprietor of the principal part of the goods so
consigned P--No.
.. • .
" Do you generally take advances upon the etnisignnients
you make P....Generally': and somethn es to theca tent of 4-fifths.
" IVould you consign goods to this country, unless you could
anticipate part of their value P—Certainly not: it would be
very inconvenient.

" Would it be prejudicial to your trade ?-=host certainly."
But another difficulty, and one of a very serious description,
arises out of the forbidding a factor in any case to pledge the
goods of his principal. It has repeatedly happened, it seems,
that property must have been sacrificed at a tithe of its-value,
or perhaps at a rate still far lower, if money had not been bor.
rowed upon it in preference to making sales. This was the
case in a very striking degree upon the glut ofWest India pro-
duce, about the years 1812, )1113, and 1014.
Mr. Robert Holden's evidence goes to this point :
Do you remember the year 1811, and the stake of the market
for colonial produce at that time P—Perfectly well. Wits there
or not a very pressing necessity at that time for ntivances upon
colOnial produce ?—'There was. Do you remember the low
price at which coffee then was ? Coffee WEIS Worth about 395. a
hundred. State to the Committee upon that reduction the con.
sequence of not forcing 4 sale ?--The effect was most advan.
tageous, for it was kept till that which was worth 355. was
worth double that sum. The true owner Would have suffered
veiy seriously if it had been sold at the low price ?-1 have no
hesitation in saying it would have been ruinous. Du you hap-
pen to know whether upon West India produce generally large
advances were made P—Very large indeed."
Mr. Itannatyne fully confirms Mr. Holden'a statement.
Mr. Kymer says—" I know that very large advance* are
made on West India produce. Our house has adVaticed ,in
some years as much as 30f),000/. In the year 11111, if these
advances had not.been made, it is impossible to say how low
West India goods might not have fallen. . The accumulation
of' coffee was then about 50,000 tons, which Was not worth more
than 1,700,0001. ; • and by February, 11114, this had improved
to the value probably of 84200,080/.. A great deal of this entree
was pledged (loo.ing at the low prices) for its full value, or
more. In the year 1819; cotton wasa in the same state. I think
if the law is not altered (after the 'general Understanding of it
that has now gone abroad), gentlemen will be very nice about
advancing money hereafter ; insomuch so, that it will shackle
trade greatly.

Mr. tientble speaks to the advances made upon sugar at the •
same time at which Mr. Kymer.quotes the collie; and to the
same state of market. lie puts the" Advances, upon. West India
prodUee,' in the years 11111 and 1812, at tipsier& of .2,04,0001.
Mr. Garnett says..that tae same state of temporary depression
frequently exists in the corn-market.
•. The witnesses who oppose an alteration in 'the law are few in
number. None of them show lime an original Owner is to lie
more damnified •by a fraudulent pledging,. than he may be
already by a fraudulent sale of his .property and their chief
rh
objection seems to be an apprehension lest, b 3 tic power.
to pledge, men who are not themselves large r.ipitalist, may be
enabled to engage in trade.
.The Committee, hoi,,,,er, 14 of
opinion that, 11'n:en-I:Tints are not able to obtain ativ:ice.s
capitallats,,' 44 the quantity of boShiesi done by opol,,nt
might be increased; but the 'total amount of uur tbreign
rusls-
meree roust be diminished,"
*nue 'of the witnesses examined recommended that factors
or consigntetshould have the power of pledging to the anionnt
to which they themselves might hove made advai:ces ; or rather
that lenders should be protected far. But it seems impos.
Bible •to devise'any means by which a lender could'avisure him-
self asto that fact. • _ •

The existing law stands upon the case of '4 Paterson terra:
Tash," decided at Nisi Prins by Lord Chief-Justiee bee, in
the year 1742. The case is very shOrtly reported (Without any
of the facts stated) in the seennd volume of Siranges Reports;
and certainly there is nothing to indicate that, the pawnee in
that case was not cognizant that the goods which he received
were not the property of the person who pledged the The
note-of the case in Strange is this
" Paterson v. Tash.--It was held by.Chief-Justicc Lee, that
though a factor has power to sell, and thereby bind his prin-
cipal, yet he cannot hind or affect the property of the goods- by
pledging them as a security forhit miur deU,"---fis not this, for
a debt due from him, the factor?] "though there is the for•-
tnedity cf a bill of parcels and a receipt. And the Jiiry found
accordingly."
This needless " formality" looks a little 'like a juggle be-
tween the parties; and it Is worth while to obServe, that there
is no account of any motion to set aside the verdict. Certainly,
many eminent judges seem to have followed the precetleutof
" Patterson V. Trish" with reluctance. Lord Ellenborough, in
tlw,year 1813, said, in the case of " Martini v. Coles"—
! ,Perhapi it would have been as well it' it had been origin-
ally that when it was equivocal whether a person was
authorized to act AS principal or factor, a pledge made by such,
petaon, free from any circumstances of fraud, was valid.
Mr. Justice Le Bianc in the same case observes.—
" Whether it might net originally have better answered the
purposes of commerce to have consideied a person having the,
apparent symbol of property. as the true owner in respect of
that person who deals with him in ignorance of his real elm-
racter, is a question upon which it is now too late to specu,
late," &c,

•
Lord

to incline to a more equitable justice than the present law:. and
Lord I:Moo, in " Pulteney v. Kyiner," in the year that, de.

ported ; so that if his Lordship was right, we have been acting
for the last fifty years in the teeth of all reasonable principle upon
the strength of that which at last turns out to he a iiiiittelte. •
The Committee, after declaring as their deliberate-opinion,
that " If no easy mode suggested itself for the alteration of the
(existing) law, so as to. remove the present inconieniences,_
consistently with other principles of our jurisprudence, it would
not be unwise to adopt the principle of foreign law - that por-
ter:ion constitutes concludes by recommending the fol.
lowing propositions : .
" That a person possessing a bill of lading, or other ap-
parent symbol of property, not importing that such property
belongs to others, shall be considered as the true owner, so far
as respects any other person who may deal With' him it relation
to such property, in ignorance of his real character.
" This not to affect the right of n true owner to follpw his,
