Boston, Dec. 6.-The case of the Merchants
National Banl, of Memphis, Tenn, VS.. the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce of Boston, which
has occupied the U. s. Circuit Court several
days, has resulted in a verdict for the plaintiffs
for 1874 $685. The suit was brought to recover
damages for negligence on the part of the de-
PENDANTS in giving up to the censignees the bills
of lading of a lot of cotton, upon the accept
ance by the consignees of a thirty days draft,
drawn against the shipment and attached to
the bills of lading and sent on to the defend
ants bank for collection. The plaintiffs con
tend that it was the duty of the bank to to keep
the collateral until the draft was paid, and that
by reason of giving up the bills of lading the
plaintiffs lost their security, the consgnees hav
ing failed before the expiration of thirty days
after acceptance.
