Mr.Sina rt.—The idea of contending at law with so power. rush a bade as the Bank of England is so appalliog to am humble iddividuel like myself, that I would sooner submit to the loss than commence an actiou. I do think, however, that my case iscue of excessive hardship, and that the con duct of the Bank is oppressive and unjust. The Load Mayor.—l agree with you perfectly that the case is a hard one.; but for my own part I think that the conduct of the Bank quite justifiable, the amount of the bill. having been paid by the Bank to the owner.
