The case which was Yesterday decided
in the dislrici against the United States
Bank and in favor Of The Government
grew out of the first bill drawn by the
United States Government upon tranee
for The indemnity for spoiintlons, which
was purchased by the Bank. and the French
Chambers providing M funds to meet lis
payment, il was protested.
Judge Baldwin decided sthe following
points arising from the testimony in the
case. which will lie sufficient 10 show lis
general icaturcs:-
|. Tha, the U1itcd States were liable 70
the law of set off like any individual; their
Sovereignty being pared with, pro hdr rice.
=. That the claim Of the defendant TO
damages must be governed by the laws OF
Maryland. the place the where the Biil OF
Exchange was drawn.
,. That by his law, damages were on
" allowable 10 the actual holder oi hr BIIi
of Exchange or the tine Of the protest, or
10 m cndorscr who has paid tic damages
sustained upon il.
!. That the bank was NOT the holder of
The Hill n, the time of protest. nor an agent
lnr the holder; aud that 40 proof had hcen
sive:, To show Ina, il had paid The damages
sustained by the protest.
The defendants claim for damages was
therefore rcjecrc,! by .hc Court, and The
iury gave n verdict for the plaintiff for
25l,..l3 81 damages and six cents cost.
