- TO THE. EDITOR OF THE STANDARD.

Sta,—With reference to the report of Thursday's pro-
ceedings in the Dock Committee, and Mr. Bighorn's
explanation on the subject of
dock-rates on goods of ours,
we wi3h to state, for our justification in the eyes of the
mercantile public, a fact which does not appear either in
in the
that report or
report of the proceedings of the
former committee
fact explains the whole
and that
transaction. and completely rebuts all charge of a fraudu-
lent; intent on our part. The instances of non-payment
of dock-rates referred to were cases in which we had pur-
chased from several houses goods for export on account of
foreign principals, which by Contract were sold to us
. free on board." We contended that on the sellers, and
not ourselves, devolved the duty of paying the dock-rates,
among other charges and expenses necessary to put the
goods free on board
; and we consequently refused to pay
the dock-rates thereon. The Dock Committee, however.
considered that, as between them and us, we were the
proper party to pay the dock-rates, and that we must
seek reimbursement from the houses who sol guaranteed
the goods to us free on board. The fact of our having
given in correct and true manifests of the shipments shows
at once that we could not intend any concealment.
It is to be regretted that the term " dock frauds " has
Come into use as applicable to cases of mere refusal to
pay dock-rates, though without any intention to defraud ;
and it occurs to us that gentlemen in important public
trusts cannot be too guarded in the use of language
reflecting on the character of mercantile houses, and
which being reported in the newspapers publishes the
injurious imputation to the whole world.
We are, Sir, your obedient servants,
GIANNACOPULO AND COCHILANI.
