BILLS OF LADING AS COLLA-

-TERAL SECURITY.

At meeting of the Institute of Bankers held last month at the London Institution, Mr. F. Tuth Jackson presiding, Mr. George Wallme, K.0., reada paper on "Bills of Lading as Collateral Security.**

The Lecturer said he had been asked to

consider the subject with special reference to the weak points that might be found in the position of the bankor who took auch socurity, He desired first to make plain & distinction bo- tween the torms transferable and negotiable as used in the following remarks. The fusion of law and equity in this country had introduced ideas which were quite foreign to the ancient common law of the realm. That law very no- (urally held that if A contrasted with B, Cold not by arrangement. with B. behind A's back become entitled to call on A to perform the contract for his, C's, benefit. In other words that contract was not trusfemble. They would agree that one who had contracted to sell goods on credit to B ought not to be compolled to sell them on credit to C of whom he know nothing but perbant disorolit.. It had, however, become, in view of a modern decision, difficàlt to say where, if at all, the line was to be drawn, but it might be taken as now generally true that all contracts, except for the use of some personal skill of other personal quality in one of the contracting partie, were assignable or transferable and might be enforced by the transforos. Any security, contract, or obligation for the payment of navney or the delivery of goods night therefore be zolidly transformed by the owner to the bank, and the bank might enfore these rights under it which the transforor himself had and transferred. And, speaking

it

ang generally, those rights only. For and notwithstanding various exceptions, a fundamental principle of both law and equity that nemo dat quod non habet-one could not give rights which ono had not got. That mount that the transfer must be made by

the owner of the soeurity. It was obvious that "transfer" connoted an intention of the parties

NEW NAFETY PRODUCT.

Hon, even ingenious, is constantly producing something to benefit is race, and, as has often beer said, the future of the world lios in the hands of the clasmist in particular. The latest production from the litter source of human. inteligence is solidifed petróleum, Petrol, polroteam, chloroform, and other volatilo liquids are ranked amongst the danger Anida of the world 's produce, sua Gorman chromist, Dr. V.

After cooling the hydro-carton (petrol) is no longer a liquid, Recently a demonstration was given of this selilified petrolein to show its safety in hand. ling and its uses in a variety of forms. In appearance this solid is like boiled starch, which soons to hold the petrol in its miauto colle as honey is hold in the honey-comb, for hy squoon. ing a portion of the jelly one could, so to speak, wring petrol from it as water from a sponge. At the same time the evaporation is as rapid as in the liquid; yot it is free from the spreading dangor if lighted, so easily can it be blown out or the famo smothered. The reason of this is that it does not met, but horns as a candle, and ann be extinguished as easily,

It is possible that in time motoriste may adopt solid petrol in place of liquid fuel, ns the ohuge would reduce the bulk by 20 per cent, and no carburettor would be seaded, sizes solid patrol vapourises immediately on being subject to currents of air. But in the fold of gas lighting solid potrol appears to have its greatest future.

them. A mere handing over of the socurity for safo custody was uct a transfer. Negotiability was trusferability as above described, but com. bined with another incident as important as it was well known, namely, that the rule nemo dat quod non habt had no application provided that the transferee gave valuo. in good faith for the transfer to him of the security, contract, or obligation. One who changed a bank note or caskeda cinque in good faith for a thief got an absolute title, although his transferor had none.

A SERICUS DRAWBACK.

Thote was a very curious drawback to the value of the bill of lading as a security in the incorporation of the conditions of the charter- party. It was the practice in varions trades to arrong from time to time for standard formIS of chailer-party and bill of lading. How for the tank wore in a position or might leaire to bring Progue to bear in the direction of improving any particular bill of, lading as a security for advans he did not know. It would seem to be possibh to do something in this way. Even if there were only greatdr uniformity in the various bills of lading and those provisions of the charter partion which related to the taking do- very of the goods, the bank's position would be greatly simplifted, and therefore improved.

to Mr. Wallace, sail he was impressed with The President, in moving a vote of thanks the fact that bankers ought to be a great deal more areful than they were at present in dealing with bills of lading. A great many people had a kind of idos that a bill of bading ould be transferrod and dealt with and noge- tiated mnoh in the same way as a bill of ex obangg It was evident that that idea was an entirely incorrect ons:

A MOST DANGEROUS INSTRUMENT. Indod he was net cortain from what Mr. Wallaos had said that a bill of lading was not s most dangerous instrument, and he was much interested by what had been said about the insertion of the words in a bill of lading, after the meation of the freight all other conditions a per charter-party." That, he thought, was a most useful hint he had given to bankers to see when a bill of lading was tendered to them whathor it bad that clanse, as they would thon be inquiring as to what those other condi- tions were. It appeared to him that it was quito possible that a bunk that took e bill of lading with that clause in it might be taking something which in the end might be worth little or nothing to it. The lecturer mentioned that in many bills of lading there were a number of clauses inserted so that the back of the doon- leved that may shipowners had these inserted, gave a most brilliant illuminant. There can not for a moment believing that they would be de no danger with this form of lighting, as if able to enfores the conditions which they put in, the lamp overturns there is no liquid to be but simply because they hoped that if any of spit, ond the light simply goes out The these conditions did arise the holder of the bill aystem can be applied for general house-lighting of lading might be guided by the terms of the by pipes.
