American Express Travelers Chèques

Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES

"The system of Travellers Choques was originated in 1891 by the American Express Company with the object of creating a form of travel currency which would give the holder the security, of a letter of credit and at the same time the convenience of local currency. The Company registered the cheques under the trade 'name of 'AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES' the world "Travellera' being apolled with one "L" The advantage of the Cheques was so apparent that other banking institutions adopted the system."

A schoolgirl of 17, who fell in love with and married a Hindu, sought a declaration of nullity in the Edinburgh Court of Session recently.

Lord Mackay, giving judgment, said that in 1918 the plaintiff, then a schoolgirl of 16 or 17, spent her holiday in war munition work and mot Chakravarti, a Hindu.

For converting to his own use large sums of money entrusted to him to buy shares, and the pro- ceeds of shares sont to him to sell, Edward Wilson Donallon, 61, com pany director, was sentenced to 15: months' hard labour at the Old Bailey recently.

Mr. G. B. McClure, prosecuting, said that since 1922 Donallon had been sole director of Graham, Marah and Company, Ltd., outside brokers, and had been engaged in what was known as "bucket shop" fraude for a number of years. Since 1918 he had been living al- most entirely on getting money from the pubile in doubtful ways.

Graham, Marsh and Co. went into liquidation with liabilities of 251,700 and assets £2.212. In his statement of affairs Donallon nd- received for shares on behalf of mitted misappropriating £7,525

It was quite obvious, he said, that the words could not be con- strued as meaning what they were intended to mean, and he suggest ed that the sentence ought to read "They are not, nor is either of them, Hable.".

Ieleased from prison in Octo- ber 1927, he started the business of Graham, Marsh and Co. in June of the following year. The busi- ness had been insolvent most of the time and had been fraudulent since 1927.

Mr. St. John Hutchinson, de- fending, said the money obtained by Donallon did not go into his own pocket hut in trying to keep the business afloat.

The turnover in one year was £122,000. Between 1923 and 1928 ho had bought just under £170,000 worth of shares.

Before 1907 he was a business man in Manchester. Ha spoke six languages.
