Question — Bontempi, Palladium Theologicum V · from Schola Thomistica
Question III: Whether in local exchange, that is, by letters, when the banker receives first in order to repay elsewhere, he may make some gain
IT MUST BE ASSERTED, with the common opinion, that such a Campsor can receive something.
An in CAMBIO locali, sive per litteras, quando Campsor prior accipit, ut alibi restituat, possit aliquid lucrari.
ASSERENDUM, cum communi sententia posse talem Campsorem aliquid recipere.
IT IS PROVED, because there two legitimate titles to profit intervene. One is virtual, or equivalent; as the translation of money to the place where he has correspondents. The second is assurance, because he takes upon himself the peril.
PROBATUR, quia ibi duo tituli legitimi ad lucrum interveniunt. Alter est virtualis, seu aequivalens; ut translatio pecuniae in locum, ubi habet correspondentes. Secundus est assecuratio, quia suscipit in se periculum.
NOTE first, that the distance of places and the greater perils make it possible to receive greater profit. Similarly that a real translation is to be valued at more than a virtual one. Thus the DD. at Bonacina disput. 3. quaest. 5. and Bassaeus num. 10.
NOTA primo, locorum distantiam, periculaque maiora facere, ut maius lucrum accipi queat. Similiter realem translationem esse pluris aestimandam quam virtualem. Ita DD. apud Bonacinam disput. 3. quaest. 5. et Bassaeum num. 10.
NOTE, that in a Cambium by letters, the first Campsor giving, that he may receive elsewhere, can gain something, either from the virtual transportation of money, or from a greater estimation of the money. See Casas sectione 4.
ADVERTE, quod in Cambio per litteras, prior Campsor dans, ut alibi recipiat, potest aliquid lucrari, sive ex virtuali transportatione pecuniae, sive ex maiori pecuniae aestimatione. Vide Caspensem sectione 4.
