THAT SHIRT
Sir,-After the transaction the draper has all that he had before, except eight shillings and a shirt. He also has a dud pound note, which is, presumably, worth nothing. His loss, therefore, amounts to eight shillings plus the value of a shirt. The value of the shirt ig what anyone will pay for it in gbod money, so that if the buyer did not know that the note was a dud, it would have been 12 shillings, and the loss 20 shillings. However, if he knew that it was bad, the draper might not have been able to sell the shirt for 12-shillings good money and might have had to mark down the price. In any case, the loss is eight shillings together with the price the shirt would have brought in good money.
