MARCH II, 1877.
In the Hastings Court on Saturday the
case OF B. Sears Us. Chestnut, Townsend &
Co., OF Baltimore, was decided in favor Of
the plaintiff. It is Of general interest to
merchants as affecting the trade of CONNER
cial travellers. The plaintiff had ordered
goods through the commercial traveller OF
the firm the firm was not satisfied with the
commercial standing OF the plaintiff, and
declined to fill the order; in the mean time
coffee and sugar advanced; the plaintiff
wrote defendants TO send the goods
ut the prices agreed with his agent
and draw at sight, or he would claim
the difference in price from the
self-evident decline. This suit was for
the difference. The plaintiff showed in
the trial that his commercial standing was
good. On two former trials the jury had
disagreed. On Saturday they brought in
verdict for the plaintiff.
Hon. John T. Harris has appointed J. A.
