IMPORTANT DECISION

The additional security afforded in ren,i;.inr
Bank notes through the Post-Off:ce, BY cutting
them in two, and sending each half by a diffe.-
ent mail, has been rendered doubtful for some
time by the notice issued from the Bark of the
United States, that no payment would be made
Of any note OF that Bank voluntarily cot into
two or more places, unless all the parts OF il
should be produced The doubt is now re-.
moved by decision which gives that certainty
TO the security contemplated by those who used
that mode Of remittance.
The Democrats Press, contains the opinion
Of Judge Washington, in the Of MARTIN rs.
The BANK y. S. argued at the last October
States, in Philadelphia, upon a statement OF
facts which set forth, shat the plaintiff was the
owner of number Of notes OF the Bank Of y S.
amounting in the whole to $500, which his a.
gent, after the publication of notice by the Di
rectors, that the Bank would not pay cut notes
unless all the parts were produced, divided into
halves at Cincinnati, (Ohio,) and forwarded in
two parcels bv different mails for Philadelphia,
one Of which parcels never arrived. The de-
mand of Plaintiff was for the full amount ofthe
notes. The Judge, in his decision, treated the
question as if the notice were brought home to
the Plaintiff; and decided that, the holder Of
Bank note has legal right TO Cut il with
view TO the security Of the debt OF which the
note is the best evidence, and that the Bank
which is the debtor, Cannot by any declaration,
however notified, affect the legal rights Of its
creditor who has not assented 10 the conditions
of that declaration. Judge Peters concurred in
opinion, and Judgment was rendered agains.
the Bank for the full amount Of the notes"

HARBORING APPRENTICES.

AT the June term Of Baltimore city court,
came on the trial Of William X Mitchell, for
harboring two apprentices Of Hester Crockett
from the lst Of May to the 3oih Of June, 1926,
inclusive. He was found guilty, and the coun-
sci for the prosecution oontended that Mitchell
be sentenced to pay one dollar and sixty-six and
two thirds cents for every hour each apprentice
was harbored, according to the act Of l74S,
which declares, that persons harboring servants
shall pay one hundred pounds Of tobacco, or
one dollar and sixty.six and two-thrds cents
every hour each servant is harbored, one half
to the party grieved and the other to the state.
The penalty incurred by Mitchell, according to
this act, amounts to four thousand eight hun.
dred and eighty dollars. The court agreed
with the prosecuting counsel, but delayed pass
ing sentence in consequence Of the suggestion
that compromise would take place.
