UNITED STATES DISTRICT couaT-M BANKRUPTCY.

The Bankruptcy OF Leland 4 CO.-BOnds
and Coupons as Commercial Paper.
Yesterday Judge Blatchford rendered the follow
ing decision in the matter Of Simeon Leland 4 Co.,
bankrupts:-I think that, on the authority Of the
highest courts Of this State and OF the United States
the bonds and coupons in question are negotiable
instruments, although issued by an individual
under his seal and not by corporation, and are
not specialties so as to make them subject, in the
hands OF their assignee, to equities against their
assgnor. Although under seal they were issued
as they show on their face, to secure the pay
ment Of money on time. and they contain on
their face expressions showing that they are ex-
pected to pass from one person to another by de-
attach to them. Their character cannot be con-
troed or varied by the mere fact that their maker
put seal after his name. (Brainerd vs.. New York
and Harlem Railroad Company, 25 NY, 496; White
vs. Vermont Railroad Company, q Howard, 675; ;
Mercerto vs. Hackett, Wallace, S3.) Such bonds
them in good faith is unafected by want Of title
their vendor, and the burden OF proof, on ques-
ton as to such good faith lies on
the party who assails the possession. (Mur-
ray vs.. Lardner, Wallace, 1l0.) The evi-
dence in this case shows that the Union
Square National Bank became to all substantial
intents the purchaser of these bonds and coupons,
In good faith, IOr full and falr consideration, in
the usual course OF business and without notice OF
any possible defect in the title OF their assignOr.
These views proceed on the assumption that the
claim Of the bank will absorb all dividends on the
bonds and coupons, and apply only to the interest
Of the bank therein. III there shall be surplus be-
yOnd paying the claim OF the bank, questions as TO
the title and position OF their assignOr may become
material. The interrogatories which the witness
declined to answer were irrelevant.

Before Judge Loew

Before Judge Loew.
Moritz Br0ckman vs.: Eberhard Faber.-ln Febru-
airy, 1871. two men called at the plaintiffs saloon,
and having refreshed themselves with drinks and
cigars rendered in payment a check for $40. The
cneck was drawn by Mrs. Hexamer on the defend
ant. Leaving his wife in charge Of the saloon Mr..
Brockman hurried OF to the defendants place OF
business to find out If the check was good. Mr..
Faber told him he presumed 1t was all right and re-
ferred him to his boOkkeeper. The latter said 1t
was good, wrote on it accepted, G. Faber per
Baber," the latter being his name, and promised to
pay next day, it being after their business hours
Mr.. Brockman, after this, gave his two customers
money to the check minus their bill, Of course,
and deposited it In bank. The check came back en-
dorsed with the statement that payment on 1t had
been stopped and the same previously announced in
newspaper advertisement. AS the plaintiff could
not get his money back he brought this suit, which
was tried yesterday. The defence was that no au-
thorty was given TO the bookkeeper to make the en-
dorsement he did on the check In opposition to
this it contended that his referring the matter
to the bOokkeeper confirmed this authority. A
verdict given for the plaintif for $209 20 the
full amount claimed.

THE TEA TRADE.-Some very heavy losses
arc rcportcd in the tea trade this season The
New York Shipping List says: The tea
trade, We understand, has been disastrous to
importers this year, most of them having, it is
said sustained an average loss closely APP
proximatiug ten cents per pound. This has
arisen mainly from indiScrimiaate purchasing
in China, many orders having been. sent out
without limits. Some of the older importers,
with prescicnce which long experience alone
confers left the business mainly in the hands
of the comparatively young importers and
dealers, forseeiug nothing but disastrous re-
suits from such sharp, if not reckless, COM
pctition. OF course, John Chinaman has
1,ro6ted largely by the high cost of teas IN
the supply markets, but, from all that we can
learn, he will not have things quite SO much
his own Yay another season.
