thcro never wac any account current kept between
Warner and Ward. The account published III me
Times some tiIEe ago and said 10 have been luI-

currency to the CrIOT that there was III TACT an

pears to any who cl DOSES TO inspect The books
That every purchase and sale of the Obligations was
separate Transaction settled at lhe thhc lhdlcateu
on it, ard tho morley paid through Warner TO the
owner. THIS was ;.cccssity III view OF the TACT
which Warner has never seen TT to dcny-that ne
was the medium through which others IMAM
himself were able TO deal with Ward.
For Mr. Warner il is claimed that the money winch
went in On any occasion was not the same as the
money Withdrawal. For instance, Mr. y: might
draw all his profits and principal; Mr. ]; mlgnt
draw HE profits leaving his principal. aud Mr. II.
might have all Lis profits III and his principal so
that no course of account could really be necessary
The case was like any other purchase over the
counter Such is the attitude of Mr.. Warner.
A director of Grant * Ward asked Yesterday
whv if the Marine Bank owed money TO Grant d
Wafl, Receiver Dawes had not brought SUI
against Receiver Johnston to recover thlSY ms
is one Of the many questions afiOat among those
directly interested III the wonderful Grant u Ward
suits.
