The Holmes Note.

The Holmes note is legal curiosity. II
purports to be a consideration for a sale
when no sale is really made. But, whether
wisely or unwisely, our courts have fully
recognized this note. and so it has become
one of the peculiar institutions of this State.
1t is now going the rounds of the papers
Of the State that this note was invented
by Ebenezer Rawson Holme ', who has re-
Gently deceased in the town of Oxford.
think this is a mistake. 1 have always
supposed this note to be the invention of
Eleazer Austin Holmes, q brother of Raw
son. Austin Holmes, as he was fsmiliarly
called, lived at South Paris. and was large
dealer in cattle, buying, selling and leasing
to the farmers round about him, and in his
business made quite large fortune. The
Holmes Note when first invented applied to
cattle, and to the particular kind of cattle
business which he did. think he was the
inventor of it, A genius which should in
vent such a document certainly ought to
have the credit of it.-W. II. VISroS, in
Edstern argus.
