“The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the court, upon the following case. On the 4th of December 181.1, Thomas Bedwell & Co. at Rio de Janeiro, drew a bill of exchange on William Nunn &. Co. of London, payable to the order of the defendant at three months sight, for £253. 6s. 6d. sterling, which he by the bill desired to be placed to the account of John Dayton, and in case of need, to apply to Messrs Coutts &, Co. This bill was indorsed to the plaintiff, a merchant at Calcutta. The letter of advice which-accompanied the bill, addressed by the drawers to the drawees, announces the drawing of the bill, and desires that it may be honoured, and placed to account of Mr John Dayton, of Philadelphia, who will advise them of the same.”
