Jones's Reports of the Law Cases decided at the late Term of the Supreme Court (No. 1 vol 4,) is just out, and a hasty glance at it shows us two cases, one of local and the other of general interest, which it may be of service to our unprofessional readers to hear of. The first is the celebrated Harnet counly case (Pas- The following are the Reporter's statement of the case and the material pans of the Judge's oi inion : " This was an application for a mandamus, to be directed to the Justic2s of Harnett county to compel the fulfilment of a contract made with the petitioner for the building of a Court House and Jail, heard be fore Person, Judge, at a Special Term, June, 1856, of Cumberland Superior Court. " At the Term of the Couit to which the writ was returnable, an infoimal statement, entitled " a re turn," was filed by Geo. VV. Pegram, Esq., and sev eral other justices of the peace for Harnett county, admitting the justness of the petitioner's demand, and alleging their entire willingness to pay the same; at the same time another statement ws made by Robert C. Belden, Esq., and other justices of the peace of that county, denying the justness of the claim, and giving reasons in extenso why they had refused to pay the same ; neither of these statements being in fact, nor purporting to be. the return of the justices of the county as a body. " A motion was made tha the return of R. C. Bel den and others be quashed ; which moiion was allow ed. " A motion was then made, on the other siJe, that R. C. Kelden and others have I ave to amend their return ; which was also allowed. " His Honor proceeded further to consider the case, and ordered a peremtory mandamus to ieue ; from which judgment R. C. Belden and his asriates ap pealed to the Supreme Court. " HauLhton, lor plaintiff. '. IVimlow, B. Fuller, and Haigh, for defen dant. " Pkarson, J. A mandamus to 11 ihe justices of a County" issues against them as a body, and not as separate individuals ; so they must make " a return" as a body. To this end, it is proper for the justices to convene, and a majority being preseni. as for the transaction ol any other County Ou-iness, to agree upon the facia which are to be set out for their leturn. In this, as in other cases, a majoiity of those present will govern. They will then aj-point some one of their body, who, as iheir agent, i'to make the proper affidavit, and to do all other ac s and things which may beeome necessary in the course of the proceeding. 41 In this case therj is no return made hy tlie jas tice i.s a body. G. W. Pegram, Eq , and several of the justices, unite in making wh t ia termed their return; and Robert C. Belden, Esq, and several other justices, unite in making what is termed their return; bo, there are two inconUtent and repugnant returns, neither being, nor purporting to be, in fact, the retun. of the justices of the County as a body. There is, in effect, no return, and nothing. upon which the Court could rightfully take an) -ction; consequently, it was error :n the Court to proceed and order a peremptory man Linus. The proper course was to dim t both of tbe'o called returns to be with drawn from the files, and to require the justices to make a return as a body ; in analogy to the order directing a " repleader," in an ordinary action where, when the jleadiogs terminate in an immaterial issue, or upon a traverse which is too narrow, the Court directs the parties to begin anew commencing at thf! first wrong step. . The order appealed from must be reversed, and this opinion will be certified, to the end that there may be a proper return, to as to enable the Court to decide the natter in controversy." The other case is that of Dewey vs. Cochran, in which a note negotiable at the Branch of the Bank of Charlotte, payable to its Cashier, T. Dewey, in the usual printed form, but not filled up as to the amount, was offered to th' President of the Bank for discount, and by him rejected ; whereupon Caldwell and Ha gins, the makers of the note, took i to Charleston, without the knowledge or consent of the sureties, and filled it up with the sum of $927. and presed it to Farrar & Brothers, in payment of a debt due by the former id the latter. The no:e.was sent to Mr. Dewey, the cashier, for collection; and" protested for non payment. Suit was brought by Fairar & Broth ers, in the name of Mr. Dewey, and judgment re covered in the County Cou.t, from which Cochran, one- of the seenrities, appealed: ; In the Superior Court, Judee Bailey directed a non-suit, from which the plaintiff appeared. ; 1 The cae was argued by Osborne and Boyden for the plaintiff, and by.Wilaon for tha defendant. Chief Jaitice Nasn delivered the .opinion of tbe Court, affirBiinz the nonsuit. -: : j . ' "Ibe Vuretiei Bound themselves, (eaye the Chief Justice,) tor fay to-Thomas Dewey, or his order, the sum mentioned in the note. To the validity of every contract it is essential that it receive the assent of tbe patties,: to be bound either as payers or performers. Parsons on Contracts, 399 In this case it is not pre tended that Thomas Dewey ever aocepted the note. On the contrary, the bank, through its president, and whose officer Mr. Dewey was, refused to receive the note. There is then,' no contract between Mr. Dewey and the defendant. . Mr. Dewey has not the legaL title to tha note. But the action is brought not for the benefit of Mr. Dewey or the bank, but for the use and benefit of Farrar & Brothers, to whom it vas assigned by Hagins. IHi they, by this agreement, acquire such an interest in the note as to enable them to bring this action in tbe name of Thomas Dewey, the original payee ? We think they did not. The note in question is made payable and negotiable at the branch of the bank of jibe State, at Charlotte.. What is the meaning of lhe word negotiable T It is admitted that the note is iu the usual form I such instruments. Put into plain English, the word ne gotiable means that the money is to be borrowed lrom the bank designated. The sureties bound themselves that if the bank would discount the note, they would pay ii ac maturity ; hut they do not promise to pay any other bolder of tbe note who ;do not claim through tbe bank.: Many reasons might exist why tbey would be willing to incur that responsibility, when they would not be willing to incur it with a private individual. If the note was discounted at tho bank, they knew that, after ninety days, they could take up the obligation or refuse to prolong the'.r re sponsibility by joining in a renewal of the note, and then the bank might, and would, proceed to collect it. If negotiated to a private individual, years might pass before they knew where it was, or before it was' presented for payment, nor could they, until it wa& presented for payment, know certainly that it was outstanding ; whereas, if in tbe bank, he would know where to go, and he could, at any time after maturi ty, ascertain whether it had been taken up and dis charged by his principal, and, if not, be enabled to secure himself. It never was intended by th& defen dant that the note should be thrown into market in any other way than as pointed out in his contract. Tbe principle controlling the case is fully stated jn Respass v. Latham, Bus. Rep. 138. That was an action of debt upon a sealed instrument! which was payable to Mrs. Parker. When presented to her, she refused to lend the money upon it, and it was return, ed to the obligors. Subsequently one of the obligors, and for whose use the money to be raised was in tended, induced the payee to endorse it without re course, and the money was advanced upon it by the plaintiff. The Court say, The instrument, in its original concoction, was not intended by the defen dants to be thrown into market to raise funds from any one who would advance them, but from a speci fied individual, and that person refusing to lend money upon it, it must be shown that the defendants agreed to the new intent, that is, becoming oound to Repass, which does not appear." " In our case, the source from which the money was to be borrowed is specified in lhe instrument, to wit, lhe branch bank of the State, at Charlotte ; and the bank having refused to discount it, the note, as to the defendant, the surety, died, and could not be re vived by a transfer to Farrar & Brothers without bis assent. Of all this the beneficial owners were ap prised from the face of the note. At any rate, the fact that Mr. Dewey, the original pajee, as cashier of tbe bank, had not endorsed it, taken in connection with the tenor of the note, was sufficient to put them on the enquiry." The American Guano Islands. 1 ne New YorK papers notice the arrival in that city of Mr. Arthur Benson by the last California steamer. He went out (says the Mirror) as the agent of the American Guano Company of New York, and has visited Jervis Island, Howland's Island, and New Nantucket, in the Pacific Ocean, and brings with him four tons of the guano as a sample. In addition, a large quantity had been shipped for New York. The supply of guano upon these islands is reported as being almost inexhaustible, and of a qual ity not inferior to that of thcChinchas. The follow ing intelligence of the arrival at Honolulu of ono hundred tons of the guano appears in the Honolulu Advertiser of March 9 : Arrival of the schooner Liholiho with one hundred ton3 of Guano. The arrival ot the fine schooner Liholiho, Captain John Paty, on Saturday, with about a hundred tons of guano, from Jervft and New Nantucket Islands caused no little excitement in our town. When the expedition sailed, on the 25th of December, no one appeared to take much interest in it, further than to express a general denunciation of all humbugs. The appearance of the specimens of guano which we have seen is that of a fine powder, very much resembling snuff, without the strong smell of ammo nia which the Chincha guano has. Under a micro scope it appears entirely composed of crystallized substance and resembles sncw. Good judges pro nounce it to be fir6t-quality guano : but what its val- ) ue is, compared with Chincha guano, remains to bo de ermmed. About eight tons of this guano goes forward by the barque Yankee, to be sent on by the mail steamer, via Panama, to New York, the object being to land it in New York as soon as possible. The remainder is being shipped on the clipper ship Aspaeia to New York . direct, and will reach that port about July 25th. The vessel was ten days from Honolulu to the islands, and the same number of days loading, which was effected with whale boats. On the 29th of January they sail-d for Howland's island, where they arrived on the 5th of February, landed and erected a hut, brought off a sample of the deposite, and set sail next day. They saw New Nantucket on the 9th of February, a low island, which, as they approached, gave faint sigoes of vegetation, in the shape of dry grass and dead bushes on the water's edge. They landed on the lOih and were agreeably surprised to find the entire surface of the island not ODly destitute of veg etation, but affording a vast deposits of guano of the very best quality. The Liholiho beinj; already well down in the water and somewhat leaky, only seventy-four bags of this guano were taken on board. Tbe passage to Honolulu was made in twenty-three days, reckoning from the 12th of February until the 7tb of March. Absence fiom Honolulu 71 days. The usual course of tbe wind wai from the N. E. or S. E.; and although the voyage was made in mid winter, the weather1 was mild, excepting the great heat on shore at mid-day. r The currents appealed to change with changes of the moon, from the westward or eastward, and from one to poe and a half mile an hour. The landing miaht perhaps be considered difficult by inexperienced persons, but it appears to have presented no obstacle to our enterprising voy agers, . .. ,;. . The agent of the eompany, Mr. A. Benson, erected upon each island a flag-staff,- upon which now floats the American flag, and each island has on it a. small house for the protection of the property of the com pany, as well as a general caveat against ail intruders. One great drawback to these guano islands is the want of - fresh water-not a drop of which is any where to be found. Rain seldom falls, as appears by the very dry condition in which they found the guano as deen as four or five feet below the surface. Birds, eggs, and; "so are ,n "q tionnaance as almost to stagger our faith in human testimony. At times the birda were so thick as actually to cloud the atmosphere, and it was almost impossible to step without treading on the nests.
