sTohe City, Council of Alexandria 4a
Respectfully report as follows in the matter
Of. McCarty Chehester's application for the
isse to him of q NV coupon bond, in place OF
tt one owned andlost by him:
The owner of q bst coupon bond may law
fly demand payment Of it, at maturity, not
outstanding the loss, upon rendering to the
mker of it sufficient indemnity against the
pssible demand Of an innocent holder.
: In the same way the owner Of the lost bond
laylawfully demand payment Of each success,
We coupon as itbecomes due, upon rendering
like indemnity. -
He has no right, however, to demand the is
ne of new bond in the place of the lost one.
The maker OF the bond does not engage to
upply the holder with another in case the frst
hould be lost. -: :. . -, =. -, -
The maker fully discharges has obligation
when he pays the bond according to its tenor.
In the present case, therefore, the Corpora.
:on. upon tender Of sufficient indemnity, will
,e. bound to pay the coupons. undetached at
line Of loss and now due, precisely as it would
,e bound to pay them On presentation OF the
oupons themselves. % !. - -.
