CANADIAN COIN AND GREENBACKs.-
A rather interesting decision was made
in the Supreme Court of New York, be-
fore Judge Mullin, in the case of the On
tario Bank against j. s. Bradford. The
action was brought upon two drafts of
one thousand dollars each. These drafts
were drawn in Canada and gold paid for
them. They were accepted by the de-
fendant i'm New York. The question
was raised whether the defendant, hav-
ing received gold Coin in Canada, is
obliged TO pay the draft in gold, or simp-
ly in legal-tender greenbacks. The ver-
dict was in favor of greenback payment,
the court declining to regard the trans
action as foreign contract The eff
feet of this decision will be to make our
Canadian neighbors more careful in their
business transactions.
