A Novel Question i'm Freight Charges.

The right of common carrier to charge for
the carrying Of specie conveyed on the per-
son of passenger was raised in recent case
in the Queens Bench, England, but the ques
ton was not decided, the case going off on
another point The plaintiff sent gold over
to France, to the value of about el0,0 900, in
bags, carried by two or three of their clerks
as passengers, and consequently paying hoth-
ing but their fares, whereas as the charges for
the carriage of the gold as merchandise
would have been e12. On the arrival of the
clerks by one of the compauy's steaners at
Boulogne, they gave up their tickets and
were ushered into the shed where the
custom-house officers performed their
functions, and the officers dis
covering the gold in the bags, informed
the company's servants, who seized and de-
tanned the bags for their charges. The plain
tiff sued to recover his money. The Lord
Chief Justice said it was to be regretted that
the company, instead of taking the law IN
their own hands, Lad not contented them
selves with bringing an action for the money,
which would have raised the main question.
As it was, they had seized and detained the
gold, and thus had to justify the seizure, and
as their lien was gone, Judgment must go
against them in this action.
The London Iuaess report Of the litigation,
remarking the devices employed to avoid the
carriers charge. says that not long ago, IN
case tried here, it appeared that jeweler had
sent diamonds to the value of Gl2O0 10 cigar
case, and there was case III which 1t APP
peared that American bankers were In the
