Holway in the chair. The overseer,

with Skowhegan Grange for IA long time
in the past and we may expect it to con-
tinue, at intervals at least in the future.
After the transaction of business the
meeting was placed in the hands of the
younger members of the Oranges in
accordance with the program and the
exercises were as follows

credit of the Eldred bank upon receipt
of the draft proved that it belonged
to the defendant, while the defendant
claimed that the restricted endorse
ment of the draft by the Eldred bank
prevented any change of title, and SIM
ply created an agency for collection.
A question of fact as to the intention
of the parties to the translation, to be
determined by considering the words
and acts. Moreover it seems
to be settled that the title to CONNER
cial paper received for collection by
bank and forwarded to it's correspon-
dent in the usual course of business,
without any express agreement in ref
erence thereto, does not invest in such
correspondent, even it has RENTED
upon general account in anticipation
of collection. Title passes only by
contract to that effect, to be either eX-
pressly proved or inferred, from an
unequivOcal course of dealing" ~
Banks throughout the country who
had watched this case with particular
interest as one which would establish
a precedent in such matter, so soon as
the decision was rendered took steps
TO protect themselves from all pos
sibilities of liability in similar cases
and passed resolutions similar to the
one adopted by the New Orleans clear
ing-house. The strongest effect will
be to arouse vigilance. If a forward
ing bank realizes, as it must under the
new resolution, that it is to be held for
the geuineness of the paper transmit
ted by it, the chances are that the
sway of the sharper will be curtailed.
Checks, sight drafts, notes, bills of
exchange on other paper endorsed re-
strictively ''fOr collection" or ''for ac-
count Of" come under the ban.
There are many other arguments to
be presented in dealing with this ques-
ton, but hte one here given is suffic-
lent to illustrate the origin and neces-
sity of such a course on the part of
institutions dealing in money.
