The Detroit Tribune of last Friday has the foilowing in reference to one of Chelsea's business men: A case of peculiar Interest to bankers and business men who handle commercial paper was decided yersterday In the sujerior court. On Saturday, Auj;. 8, 1885, Harnion S. Hol mes, a merchaut of Chelsea, Mich., sold some live stock at the stock ards n this city to Charles Roe. The latter gave to Holmes In payment a check on Vincent J, Scott's bank. Holmes, insiead of presenting the check here for payment, carried It home with him and claiiiied that he deposlted it in the Citizens' bank of Chelsea for collection. The Detroit correspondent of the Chelsea bank, the Mechanics' bank, claimed that the check was not received by them until 1 o'clock on Monday, too late to have it handled at the local clearing house. Ou Tuesday the check was dishonored, as on Monday night Scott's bank had forever closed its doore. Holmes sought to recover on the check, but Koe's counsel contended that Holmes had been gullty of negligence in not using proper diligence in presenting the check at Scott's bank; that the rule of law was that a check onght to be presented for collection withiu two diiy after belng made ; that the transaction haying been made, and the parties both beiughere when the check was made the collection of it should have been made here direct; and further, that the clearing house is for the convenience of banks ani not for private individuals. Judge Chipman took the case from the jury and rendered a verdict for defendant The matter involves new phases in so fa as clearinjj-houses are concerned, as questions of tiieir liability on commercia paper may arme if delay occurs in hand liDK it. Mr. and Mrs. Vogt, of Chelsea, have pne to Fort Worth, Texas, to live. Mr. E. Nordman, of Lima, at the AVebter Farmer Institute, while referrinjr to he exactioni of the millers by the exorbitant tolls taken, mentioned a case where the farmers had devised a remedy whicli looks on tlie face of it, as if it might be a good one. The farmers in the neifihborhood signed an agreement to take tlieir work to the miller who would be content vith the legal toll, to the exclusión of othra. The patronage of an influential asociation of farmers would be no inconslderable item to the miller who would bfl eatiefied with his lawful tenth. It is only by corabining in some such fashion, or to ecu re legislutioo, that tbis exacüon can be ftbated.
