NOTE—NOTICE OF PROTEST.
Where a notary sent a notice of protest of
a note addressed to the indorser to the payee,
whose bookkeeper duly mailed it to the in-
dorser, stamped, and with direction to return if
not delivered in five days, and the letter was
not returned, it was sufficient evidence that the
notice was sent and received.—Swampscott
Machine Co. v. Rice et ux., Supreme Judicial
Court of Massachusetts, Suffolk, June 21, 1893.
SALE—FRAUDULENT INTENT OF PURCHASER—
INSTRUCTION.
In replevin by the sellers of goods against the
agent of the mortgagees of the purchaser, on the
ground that the goods were obtained by fraud,
there was evidence that the purchaser, at the
time of the sale, was insolvent, and that it did
not intend or expect to pay for such goods.
Held, that the court properly charged that a
purchase of goods on credit, with intent not to
pay for them, is fraudulent, and, if the pur-
chaser has no reasonable expectations of being
able to pay, it is equivalent to an intention not
to pay.

ATTACHMENT—WHEN ALLOWED—PARTIAL SE-
CURITY—BOND—SECOND ATTACH-
MENT—AFFIDAVITS.
1. Where a debt is alleged against only one
defendant, and an attachment sought against his
property, the attachment bond is properly made
payable to him alone.
2. Plaintiff's right to attachment is not im-
paired by the fact that he has collateral security
for part of his debt.
3. Under Sayles'Civil St., Art. 161, providing
that several writs of attachment may be issued
at the same time, or in succession, and sent to
different counties, a second attachment may be
issued two months after the filing of the peti-
tion and affidavits without the filing of a new
petition and affidavits.

AMONG our American " exchanges " there is

of the trade, has had the invaluable assistance
