ten more on Oct. 2, 1877, on Oct. 20, 1877, two
moro, and on Sept %, 1871 two more. Mr.
Tavlor retured the first two before he bor
rowcd the ten, which leave fourteen still in
his possession Mr.. Moses loaned the bonds to
I've used as collatcrGl and to enable Mr. Taylor
TO obtain credit with bankers and ho promised
to return them when called for. They were
demanded, but not returned, and Mr.. Taylor
paid Mr. Moses the value of tho interest cou-
pons until Jan. l, 1881, and then gave his
note for S27750 for the balance of interest due
up to that datc, on Jan. %. Mr.. Taylor not
returning tho bonds on demand gave Mr..
Moses q duplicate receipt for the fourteen
bonds, and rectcd that they were deposited
with Riggs s. Cycin Ills name, and bound
himself TO the plaintiff for their safe return,
and gave Mr. Moses an order on Riggs ~ Co.
for them TO deliver the bonds on his paying
$4,000, which Mr.. Taylor represented that
no had borrowed on them, and the bonds
were then deposited there as collateral and
he provided that the order was to be presented
TO the bank through him.
This order was given to Mr.. Moses to in
duce him to indorse Mr.. Taylors accommo-
dation note for $4,000, to enable him to
raise money, and Mr.. Moses did indorse the
paper. Some time after Mr.. Moses again
demanded tho bonds and they were not
delivered. He then notified Mr.. Taylor to
meet him at Riggs & Co.'S for the purpose
of presenting tho order, but he failed Ia
do so.
Mr.. Moses presented the order at the
bank and learned from them there that the
bonds were not in the bank on deposit in
the name of Mr.. Taylor; were not at the
time Mr.. Taylor gave Mr.. Moses the receipt
and order, and had not been for some tim,
previous thereto, but that Mr. Taylor had
sold the bonds and converted the money to
his own use.
Mr. Moses has since demanded that tho
bonds be returned him, which was refused
as was also his request to bo paid their ful
value. Mr.. Moses states that the bonds arr
worth S16,9i0, which he claims ho is entitled
to recover.
