The London Times city article publishes
8 lengthy opinion Of VIM. N. Evans, of
New York, on the power of English credi-
tors to recover debts in Federal courts on
3 specie basis. The opinion winds up as
follows:
Foreign transactions are necessarily
made and expressed in foreign currency.
To permit their discharge by an equivalent
in American currency, would be introduc-
| ing monstrous inequality to the prejudice |
Of foreign creditors which might justly |
give offence. Indeed our courts would |
thus be practically closed against the en-
forcement of foreign debts, and of conse-
uuence, commercial credits, without which |
foreign commerce cannot be carried on |
will fall.
