Bayn it is at least considered necessary, and so does Mr McPherson. On the other hand, the defendants produced three witnesses who say that the payment of bargain money is not, according to their knowledge, usual. The first of those witnesses was a man brought from prison, if I mistake not; the second is a merchant in rice in small quan sities the largest quantities being 50 piouls, and who admits he was not person- ally acquainted with the rice trade. He would not pay bargain money if he could possibly avoid it, but he always required bargain money from Japanese to bind thom. He said he considered that the first witness was an authority for mercantile usages up to 1875 ; and the third witness, a Japanese, says that bargaiu money la sometimes paid and sometimes not paid. This witness saya that a firm in which he was a clerk lost money, and he was much concerned and he. absconded.

You, gentlemen, will give due and only due weight to these three witnesses, and only due weight to the testimony of Mr McPherson and Mr. Satow.

If you find that it was the prevailing practico in the Osaka rioe market for for eignors buying to pay bargain money (it seems clearly to have been the practice for native merchants to do so), you will, I suppose, sonolude that it was right and proper for the plaintiffs to do so in this case, If you think that it was a thing right and proper to be done, then I say to you that the defendants were bound to reimburse the plaintiffs the sums so expended.

There were only two witnesses examined before you Mr McPherson for plaintiffs, and Mr Meyer for the defendante, of whom he was substantially one. 1 must bore re- mark that they both appear to have given their evidence in a very satisfactory man- Der. Mr Meyer gave a history of the Intercourse from the beginning between "the plaintiffs and the defendants." It appear from Mr Meyer that having heard of the plaintiffs in 1879, he opened a busi- Dess correspondence with the plaintiffs. He sought them first. He went to Kobé, saw the plaintiffs in their home, and after so observing them he employed them as agents; on one occasion the plaintiffs obarg ed 24 per cent, but on tobacco purchases they charged per cent. only, and this was a never varied rule, and you may take these to have been the settled terms covering the whole agency.

As early as December 27th, 1873 (No. 34) the defendants are told bargain money is required on the purchase of rise, which by the terms of the telegram the vendors re- oeiving the bargain money wore to have the option of withholding the delivery for 80 days; they trusting the native rollers with out security.

What was the duty of the defendants if they meant not to incur the risk of paying bargain money without security, which this telegram informed them the plaintiffs in- tended to bave incurred

I say distinotly that it was their duty instanter by telegram to have expressly prohibited the plaintiffs from advancing any bargain money so unsecured on their re- sponsibility, so far as I understand, all rice now in question had been bought before the 27th Deostuber. If the defendants had then immediately repudiated the responsibility there can be no doubt that in a rising market, as the defendants counsel em phatically insisted it was, the plaintiffs could have backed out of the contracts, possibly with a gain to themselves. If you refer to No. 68 you will see that in March, 1874, the plaintiffs informed the defendants that one of the contractors was very anxious to pay back the bargain money, and that they had refused to receive it; the obvious reason being that the rice was wanted for the defendants.

Referring to No. 43 I find that on January 20th the plaintiffs telegraphed to defendants: "Contractors are causing us some trouble," and we find that the defendants knew that the delivery of the rice had been stopped. We find the plaintiff's informing the defendants that they were taking proceedings to enforce delivery, and the defendants directing the plaintiffs to take and press proceedings to enforce "our" interests--that is the interests of the defendants.

It was no fault of the plaintiffs that law-to-day, less violence deprived them of that lien and possession which by paying the bargain money and by symbolical acts of possession they had obtained, Ought not therefore defendants, for whom the plaintiffs acted, to reimburse them their outlays?

Head the extracts from the corre apondence with the Consul and the petition, and it seems to me that you will conclude that all that merchants could or would do for themselves these plaintiffs did on behalf of the defendants' interests.

The defendant said the plaintiff's object in bringing this action again was to annoy him, so as to bring his wife into Court.

Mr Holmes objected to the defendant's drawing inferences of this kind.

His Lordship said there was no reason why the defendant's wife or the wife of any body, or even any lady, should not come to this Court.

The defendant then urged that he had busi ness and was thinking of going to Canton.

His Lordship remarked that he might apply for compensation.

"ST. PETERSBURG IN WINTER. I was told when I first came that I could not judge of St. Petersburg at all till I had seen it rits winter garh. Well, the cannot say that the place is to me at all more attractive. It is always snowing. With rare intervals of plush, it will probably snow and freeze from now till next April. The Neva is blocked up with almost unbroken sheets of ice. There were people. walking on it to-day; and I suppose, if this weather goes on, sledges will cross it before another weak is over. In fact, we have regular seasonable Russian weathor. Snow always sounds pretty upon paper, and is a fertile subject of poetic metaphora; but in real practical life it is an unmitigated nuisance. Happily for us, we in London have so little of the infliction that we can hardly realise what it is to live in countries where snow is the order of the day. If you are to stop at home it does not much matter where you are so long as you are warm; but if you want to go out, you seem to me to be as badly off in St. Petersburg as you could be in any civilised community.
