BANKING LAW.
The. case of Tuffield v. Governor and Company of Bank of England lately decided m the English Court of Appeal appears at first sight very hard. The holder of certain Bank of England fire pound notes was refused payment on the ground that the numbers of the notes (not the amounts) had been altered. He sued the Bank for the amount of the notes and gained his case, but lost it on appeal, the ; higher Court in an elaborate judgement holding that the alteration of the numbers of the notes was a material alteration which voided them. That the notes were genuine £6 notes of the Bank of Kngland was never disputed, and it was admitted that the holder was innocent of having made the alteration, but still he lost his money. Our readers had better look closely to the numbers of their notes in future. — Home Paper.
