REPORT
OF THE
COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY,
Washington, December 13, 1928.
SIR: I have the honor to submit the following annual report, in
accordance with the provisions of section 333 of the United States
Revised Statutes, covering activities of the Currency Bureau, in
the year ended October 31, 1928. This is the sixty-sixth report made
to the Congress since the organization of the bureau.
PENDING LEGISLATION
TAXATION OF NATIONAL BANKS
There are pending before the Banking Committees of Congress
several bills to amend the present provisions of law relating to the
taxation, by States, of national banking associations. These bills
have for their purpose the removal of the safeguard, which has
existed for 64 years, and which prohibits the States from taxing
shares of national banks at rates higher than those imposed upon
competing moneyed capital.
The principle involved is so important, and the result, should one of
these bills become law, would be so far reaching in its effect, to State
banks as well as national banks, that I feel it my duty to call the
matter to the attention of the Congress and recommend that none of
these bills be enacted into law.
National banks are instrumentalities of the Federal Government.
As such they can not be taxed by the States except with the consent
of the Government and then only to such extent as the Government
permits. Recognizing that the power to tax is the power to destroy,
Congress has rightly safeguarded Federal instrumentalities by limitations upon taxation. In the case of national banks the limitations
are provided in section 5219 of the Revised Statutes, as amended.
Section 5219 now permits:
1. Taxation of the shares, but not at a greater rate than is assessed upon
competitive moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizens (the original
provision).
2. Taxation of the dividends as the personal income of the shareholder but not
at a greater rate than is assessed upon net income from other moneyed capital
(adopted in 1923).
3. Taxation of the bank upon its net income but at no higher rate than is
assessed upon other financial corporations, nor higher than the highest rates
assessed upon mercantile, manufacturing, and business corporations doing
business within the State (adopted in 1923).
2
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
4. Taxation of the bank according to or measured by its net income, including
the entire net income from all sources, with the same limitation upon the rate as
in method No. 3 (adopted in 1926).
The adoption of any one of the above methods excludes the other three, with an
exception which permits a combination of method No. 2 with method No. 3 or
No. 4, so as to permit the additional taxation of dividends received from national
banks located within or without the State whenever like combined -taxation of
domestic or foreign corporations and dividends received therefrom is imposed by
any State.
These safeguards as imposed by Congress have been violated by
some States through tax laws which have been declared invalid by
the Supreme Court of the United States. Tax authorities of some
States have now asked Congress, through the medium of the several
bills, to do away with the safeguards provided and to place in the
hands of the States the right of taxation with its corresponding
right to destroy by such taxation. Thus two of the bills—S. 1573
and H. R. 8727—would limit the taxation of national bank shares only
by the taxation of capital employed in the business of banking. It is
contended by the State tax authorities interested in the passage of
such bills that since the States would not impose an undue burden of
taxation on their own State banks that national banks would be amply
protected. While the State tax authorities are undoubtedly sincere
in their contention, the fact remains that under such bills the States
would have the right to place an undue burden upon national banks
and upon their own banks to such an extent as would make banking
unprofitable or at least burdensome, which in the last analysis is the
right to destroy a Federal instrumentality.
National banks are still instrumentalities of the Government.
While they are no longer the chief source of paper currency, they are
the only compulsory and the most numerous members of the Federal
reserve system and as such are essential, not only to the currency
function but to an adequate supply of credit in other forms. To
place the power in individual States to wreck a Federal instrumentality
which is the foundation of the Federal reserve system is not only unwise
but dangerous and fundamentally unsound.
It must be remembered that under the provisions of these bills,
State and national banks would be placed in a segregated class for
taxation purposes. It must also be remembered that it is often difficult to reach the property of individuals for taxation purposes and that
when the burden of taxation on moneyed capital employed upon individuals becomes too great, it can and usually does leave the State
which imposes the heavy burden. On the other hand, the bank's
property may be easily ascertained and reached. It can not leave
the State and it must either pay the tax or cease to do business.
Moreover the individual will look with favor upon a heavy burden
of taxation on banks when the result is to lighten his taxes, thus
giving to the legislature which enacts the tax law a strong temptation
to impose the heavy burden on the banks. The safety of the Federal
banking structure should not be left to the power of the legislatures to
resist such a temptation.
The bills S. 4486 and H. R. 14001 are similar in principle to S. 1573
and H. R. 8727 with the comparison of taxation of national bank
shares with the taxation of business real estate and the limitation of
the former by the latter. The same opposition applies to these bills,
with the addition that such method would be almost impossible of
REPORT OP THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
3
application. The value of real estate is difficult to determine. It is
always a matter of opinion, and opinions differ widely. The basis of
assessment varies from county to pounty and almost from one city
block to another. The proposal is impractical and even though practical it would give preferences to other moneyed capital and subject
bank capital to adverse discrimination.
It is not to the interest of agriculture or business that any of the
pending bills should pass. If money invested in bank shares is taxed
more heavily than other forms of property, less money will be so
invested, and profits upon such shares will largely be withdrawn in
dividends instead of being left subject to excessive taxation. Without any doubt discriminatory taxation, diminishing as it does the
security behind deposits, has been a contributing cause of many of
the bank failures of recent years.
Not only would the proposed amendments be harmful, but they are
unnecessary for the purposes for which they are sought. The States
which tax all property, including bank shares, at uniform ad valorem
rates, obviously need no change in section 5219 to carry on their
present system. They are using method No. 1. The States whose
constitutions give them power to tax various classes of property at
different rates have the right to use the excise alternative of section
5219—that is, to impose taxes upon banks according to or measured
by their net income—and this without amendment of State constitutions as they stand to-day. States that hereafter amend their constitutions to give their legislatures classification power will be in the
same class.
In providing for tax classification very few States have tied the
hands of their legislatures respecting bank taxation. It is for them
to take the steps necessary to keep their systems in harmony with
existing statute, rather than that the law should be amended, as it
would be by the passage of any of the bills nowT pending, to permit
the classification of banks as tax targets without any practical limitation upon the burdens then to be imposed.
In this connection the California Legislature has already passed an
amendment to the constitution of the State providing for a different
method of taxation and it has been adopted by the people of California. Massachusetts, New York, and Wisconsin have taken
advantage of the amendments of 1923 and 1926, the first two by
levying upon banks an excise tax measured by all their net income
and Wisconsin by employing the same income tax that it levies on
other corporations. What they have done, other States may do.
Certainly the problem should be dealt with by the States themselves
in enacting new tax laws rather than asking Congress to give up the
protection that has existed for 64 years to the national-banking system,
to the Federal reserve system, and to the State banking systems.
LEGISLATION RECOMMENDED
AMENDMENTS TO NATIONAL BANK ACT
Under the provisions of the national bank act, as amended, any
number of natural persons, not less than five, may, for the purpose of
forming a national banking association, enter into articles of association. It is further provided that upon making and filing articles of
association and an organization certificate, the association becomes a
4
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
body corporate, but shall transact no business except such as is incidental and necessarily preliminary to its organization, until it has
been authorized by the Comptroller of the Currency to commence
the business of banking. Since charters would not be granted in
many cases the comptroller has followed the practice for many years
of requiring, before any further steps were taken, the filing of an application by the proposed organizers. This application serves as a
basis upon which the various examinations, etc., are made to determine the merits of the proposed organization. If this application be
approved, then the articles of association and organization certificate,
etc., are executed and filed. If the application be disapproved, the
matter is dropped and no complicated situation arises as the result
of paid-in capital, contracts for buildings, etc.
Recently, however, several cases have arisen where the organizers
have proceeded to have subscribers to the capital of the proposed
bank pay in the amount of their subscription prior to securing the
approval of the comptroller on the application and subsequently conditions warranted the disapproval of the application and no charter
was issued. The result has been that the subscribers have in some
instances had their paid-in subscriptions tied up by lawsuits, claims
for attorney fees, etc. This is an injustice to the public and can
easily result in fraud to such innocent subscribers. To correct this
condition I recommend that Congress amend the present law by providing for the filing of an application under such regulations as may
be prescribed by the Comptroller of the Currency and the approval
by the comptroller in his discretion of such application before the
filing of articles of association or organization certificate and that no
money or subscriptions of capital may be paid in or collected by the
organization until such approval is granted. In this connection, to
make such a provision effective, I recommend a penal provision.
I also desire to call your attention to the situation which exists in
connection with the voluntary liquidation of national banks. Under
the present law a bank may go into voluntary liquidation upon resolution of its board of directors and two-thirds vote of its shareholders.
Adequate supervision of such liquidating banks is not, however, conferred by law upon the comptroller. It is frequently; the case that
national banks dispose of their assets but do not go into voluntary
liquidation, and there is no provision in law which would compel them
to do so. I suggest, therefore, that section 5220 of the Revised Statutes be amended to provide that if any national bank shall have disposed of all its assets or closed its doors and shall refuse or neglect to
formally place the association in voluntary liquidation within 30 days
thereafter the comptroller shall have authority to send an examiner to
the bank with instructions to call a special meeting of shareholders,
upon due notice, for the purpose of adopting a resolution placing the
association in voluntary liquidation, and that if the shareholders shall
refuse to adopt such resolution the comptroller may appoint a receiver
for the purpose of winding up its affairs, and that when any national
banking association is placed in voluntary liquidation it shall continue
to hold annual meetings of shareholders in the manner and on the date
specified in the articles of association and to elect directors and appoint
officers in the same manner as if it were in active operation until all
assets are disposed of, all proceeds distributed to shareholders and
final report submitted to the Comptroller of the Currency. The law
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
5
should also provide that the directors shall have charge of the liquidation of the bank and that the president or cashier shall act as executive
officer in liquidating the affairs of the bank under the direction of the
board of directors and that every association placed in voluntary
liquidation shall continue to be under the supervision of the Comptroller of the Currency until its affairs are finally closed, and shall be
required to render such liquidating reports as the comptroller may
require on forms furnished or prescribed by him. The liquidating
association should be required to file with the Comptroller of the
Currency a report covering the receipts and disbursements during the
preceding year, and a copy of such report should be submitted to
the stockholders at their annual meeting in January of each year.
Upon the Comptroller of the Currency should be conferred authority
to make an examination of any national bank in voluntary liquidation, the expense thereof to be paid by the liquidating bank. In the
event of sale of the assets of a liquidating association to another bank,
State or National, and the assumption of liabilities of the liquidating
association, a contract should be entered into between the directors
of the associations interested, and a copy of such contract, duly signed
by the officers of the associations and acknowledged before a notary
public or other officer authorized to administer oaths, filed with the
Comptroller of the Currency.
When the affairs of any liquidating national banking association
are finally closed, the law should require the uncollected assets to be
advertised for a period of 15 days in a local paper and sold to the
highest bidder. All unclaimed dividends belonging to shareholders
and unclaimed deposits should be transmitted to the Comptroller of
the Currency for deposit, in such national bank or banks as he may
designate, in trust, and the claimants entitled to such dividends or
deposits should subsequently receive the same upon furnishing to the
Comptroller of the Currency satisfactory proof of the validity of their
claims.
I make the further recommendation that there be enacted a law
making it a criminal offense to maliciously or with intent to deceive,
make, publish, or circulate any false report concerning any national
bank or any other member of the Federal reserve system which imputes
insolvency or unsound financial condition, or which may tend to
cause a general withdrawal of deposits from such bank or may otherwise injure the business or good will of such bank.
AMENDMENTS TO THE LAWS OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
The laws of the District of Columbia relating to banks need revision. I am not prepared at this time to recommend a new banking
code for the District of Columbia, but there are several amendments
to the law which are necessary which I recommend be adopted by
the Congress.
At the present time there are in the District of Columbia savings
banks or trust companies doing a banking business. Congress has
placed the general supervision and the examination of these banks,
which are not national banks, under the Comptroller of the Currency
and such banks generally advertise that they are under Federal
supervision. Congress, however, has not placed in the comptroller's
hands the necessary authority to enforce corrective measures in connection with banking where such measures are needed. I recommend
6
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
therefore, that a law be passed placing in the comptroller the right
and power to make regulations governing these banks which are not
national banks with a penal provision for the enforcement of such
regulations, the regulations to be limited in that they shall not in
any case place restrictions on such banks which are not placed upon
national banks.
No firm, copartnership, company, or corporation doing business in
the District of Columbia, and not doing a banking or fiduciary business, under the supervision of the Comptroller of the Currency,
should be allowed to use in their title the word "bank" or the words
"trust company." The use of such words without being under
Federal supervision is misleading to the public. I recommend,
therefore, that there be enacted a law prohibiting the use of such
words unless such firm, copartnership, company, or corporation is
doing a banking or fiduciary business under supervision of the Comptroller of the Currency, and even in that case the title should have the
approval of the Comptroller of the Currency.
Under the present provisions of the District Code, corporations
doing a fiduciary business in the District of Columbia, having their
principal place of business in the District of Columbia, must comply
with certain provisions of the code, which is for the protection of
those who do business with such corporations. Corporations, however, with their principal place of business outside of the District of
Columbia may establish offices within the District of Columbia and
do a fiduciary business without any specified restrictions or supervision under the code. I t would be very unwise and dangerous to
let this condition continue and I recommend that the District Code
be amended in this particular.
I also recommend a revision of the present code with respect to
building associations in the District of Columbia.
OPERATION UNDER THE ACT OF FEBRUARY 25, 1927, COMMONLY
KNOWN AS THE McFADDEN ACT AMENDING THE NATIONAL
BANKING LAWS
In the comptroller's annual report for the year ended October 31,
1927, the statement was made that the McFadden Act had fully
justified itself as shown by the growth in increased resources. While
this statement is still true when measured by a comparison of total
resources of national banks in the amount of $25,136,426,000 at the
time of the passage of the act and total resources $28,925,480,000 as of
October 3,1928, the date of the last call^an increase of $3,789,054,000,
it is obvious to this office that the banks in many cases still feel that the
national system does not offer all the advantages that they can obtain
under State charters. While I have no specific recommendations
for legislation to make at this time to meet this situation, and thus
strengthen the system, such legislation may be needed and in such
event recommendations will be submitted.
BRANCH BANKING
In the comptroller's report for the year ended October 31, 1927,
the statement was made that under the provisions of the act of February 25; 1927, the Comptroller of the Currency had approved the
BEPOKT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
7
establishment of new city branches to the number of 127. During
the past year ending October 31, 1928, the Comptroller of the Currency authorized the establishment of 103 new city branches. Of
this total of 230 branches authorized by the comptroller 42 have
been discontinued, leaving the total of city branches now in operation
authorized by the comptroller under the provisions of the McFadden
Act as 188.
During the past year 8 branches were added to the system through
conversion of 2 State banks and 62 branches were added through
the consolidation of State banks with national banks. These additions together with those branches in the system under date of
October 31, 1927, less 38 branches dropped through action of directors
and shareholders or liquidation of national banks, makes the total
number of branches in operation in the national system as of October
31, 1928, 992.

NATIONAL BANKS IN THE TRUST FIELD
The national banks in 1928 continued to show progress in the
development of trust operations. The amendment to the Federal
reserve act in 1918 extending the number of fiduciary capacities in
which national banks could act encouraged the development of
this function, and the McFadden Act of February 25, 1927, giving
these banks indeterminate charters and assurance that their corporate
10
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
existence would not expire before the trust functions undertaken were
fulfilled further stimulated the growth of this movement to furnish
trust facilities to practically every community in the Nation. Fiduciary obligations may now be assumed no matter how long the period
of service promises to be, and this change in the law has cleared the
way for full trust service by thousands of national banks in all parts
of the United States.
Two thousand three hundred and seventy-three national banks had
been authorized to exercise trust powers on October 3, 1928, representing 31 per cent of the total number of all national banks and
73 per cent of the total capitalization of the banks in the national
banking system. This represents an increase of 41 per cent over the
number authorized in 1921 to exercise trust powers, and an increase
of 253 in the number holding fiduciary permits at the time of the
passage of the McFadden Act in February, 1927. The number of
national banks obtaining the right to exercise trust powers is now
increasing at the rate of more than 200 banks a year.
The need for intelligent fiduciary service exists in practically every
community in the Nation. That the public recognize in national
banks the advantages of naming as trustee, executor, administrator,
and other fiduciary capacities the one unified banking system in the
United States highly standardized in its practice and regularly supervised by the Federal Government, is evidenced by the increase in
recent years in the number of trusts being administered by these
institutions. In 1926 national banks were administering 26,053
trusts; in 1927 the number had grown to 45,583, and on October
3, 1928, the number of trusts for which these banks had been named
to act reached the impressive total of 63,776.
The assets of the individual trusts being administered have likewise shown remarkable growth. In 1921 individual trust assets
aggregated only $826,000,000. This amount had increased to
$2,080,000,000 in 1927, and on October 3, 1928, the total aggregated
$3,297,310,119.
A consolidated balance sheet of the individual trust assets of all
the national bank trust departments as of October 3, 1928, is given
below:

The volume of bond and note issues for which national banks have
been named to act as trustees has likewise shown a growth in recent
years. In 1921 national banks were acting as trustees for collateral
trust and other note and bond issues aggregating $960,000,000; this
BEPORT OF THE
COMPTKOLLER OF THE

11
total had reached $2,463,000,000 in 1926, and 1927 showed an aggregate of $6,355,000,000, while on October 3, 1928, the volume of this
activity was shown to be $7,978,388,854.
As the operations of trust departments have grown, so have the
earnings that national banks have reported from this source. Not
only has the establishment of trust departments furnished a service
to their communities highly desirable, but many national banks have
found that their trust departments have been the means of bringing
new business to other departments of the bank and enabled, the bank
to retain balances upon the death of their customers which would
otherwise be diverted to a competing fiduciary institution. For the
fiscal 3^ear ended June 30, 1928, the earnings of national bank trust
departments aggregated $16,165,000, as compared with $10,811,000
in 1927, $8,255,000 in 1926, $5,951,000 in 1925, and $5,059,000 in 1924.
A recent analysis of the classes of trusts being administered showed
that of the total number of banks handling trusts, 82 per cent were
acting as trustees, 58 per cent were also acting as guardians of estates,
34 per cent as executors, 53 per cent as administrators, 12 per cent
as registrars of stocks and bonds, 5 per cent as receivers, 3 per cent
as assignees, 8 per cent as committees of estates of lunatics, and 26 per
cent were also acting in other fiduciary capacities not mentioned above.
The. system inaugurated sometime ago of compiling statistics relating to the growth of trust operations in national banks and the results
made public periodically has created favorable comment. I t has
focused the attention of the public and the banks alike on the possibilities of trust service in communities where national banks are in
operation.
That national banks with authority to exercise trust powers have
awakened to the value of including the words "trust company" in
their names is evidenced by the large number which have so amended
their titles recently. Prior to 1927 only 101 national banks had included the word "trust" in their titles. Since that time the number
has grown to 236 and the movement in this direction is becoming
general in many sections of the Nation.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
ORGANIZATION AND LIQUIDATION OF NATIONAL BANKS
There were 7,707 national banking associations in existence at the
close of the current year, October 31, 1928. This number was less
by 125, or 1.6 per cent, than the number in existence at the close of
the preceding year on October 31, 1927. In this connection it is of
importance to note that while the number of associations has decreased, their aggregate resources have increased as of the date of the
last call, October 3,1928, compared with aggregate resources on October
10, 1927, the nearest call to the date of my predecessor's last report,
$1,711,656,000, or about 6.3 per cent.
This office has during the past year continued to exercise its policy
of extreme care in granting charters for national banks, based primarily on the needs of the community for additional banking facilities.
During the current year only 39.6 per cent of the number of
applications received for the establishment of new national banks
was approved, as compared with 44 per cent the previous like period
and 52 per cent the year prior thereto.
In other words, despite the fact that the number of applications
received remains about the same, the number approved by this office
is constantly becoming fewer and in the current year a less number
of applications was approved than has been approved any year during the past 11-year period.
Up to and including October 31, 1928, there have been authorized
to begin business 13,249 national banking associations, of which
4,378 were voluntarily closed to discontinue business or amalgamate
with other banks, State or National, including those consolidated
with other national banking associations under authority of the act
of November 7, 1918. Exclusive of banks which failed but were
subsequently restored to solvency, the loss to the system by banks
liquidated through receiverships was 1,164, the number of these
receiverships being a fraction less than 8.8 per cent of the total
number of banks organized.
In November, 1914, there were in existence 7,578 national banks
with capital of $1,072,492,175. Since that date the net increase in
the number of banks was 129 and an increase in capital of $547,096,940. The capital of the banks in existence on October 31, 1928,
was $1,619,589,115. In this 14-year period 2,597 banks were chartered with capital of $316,435,300. During this period, however,
2,468 associations were closed voluntarily or otherwise.
Applications to organize national banks and to convert State
banks into national banking associations were received in the current
year to the number of 260, with proposed capital stock of $57,410,000.
Of the applications pending 103 were approved with proposed capital
stock of $26,280,000, 108 rejected with proposed capital stock of
$16,645,675, and 32 abandoned with proposed capital stock of
$7,530,000. National banking associations to the number of 113,
with capital of $26,160,000, were authorized to begin business, of
which 6 were located in the New England States, 36 in the Eastern,
23 in the Southern, 24 in the Middle Western, 12 in the Western,
and 12 in the Pacific States. The greatest activity as indicated by
the number of banks organized was in the following States: New
York, 16 banks; New Jersey, 6; Pennsylvania, 13; Illinois, 8; Texas,
8; Nebraska, 9; California, 7; Massachusetts, 4; Ohio, 4; and Wash
EEP0BT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

ington, 4. In other States the number ranged from 1 to 3 banks.
It further appears that of the total number of charters issued, 25,
with authorized capital of $11,260,000 and resources aggregating
approximately $244,386,345, were the result of conversions of State
banks—4, with capital of $360,000, reorganizations of State or
National banks, and 84, with capital of $14,540,000, primary organizations. Conversions of State banks into national associations
brought into the system 8 branches.
In the year in question 52 national banking associations were
consolidated into 25 under authority of the act of November 7, 1918,
the capital of the consolidated banks being $119,467,500. In some
instances there were reductions in capital and in others increases,
but the net result by reason of consolidations was an increase in
capital stock of $15,192,500. ^
There have been 25 consolidations under the act of February 25,
1927, t:authorizing the consolidation of State banks with national
balfts ^the agpegate capital of the consolidating State banks being
$21,390,000. These banks also brought 62 branches into the national
system and assets aggregating approximately $352,390,752.
The voluntary liquidation of 156 associations represented a capital
of $27,381,000, while the capital of the 61 insolvent banks was
$4,135,000. The net result of the changes hereinbefore mentioned
was a decrease for the year in the number of existing banks by 125
and an increase in authorized capital stock of $116,891,500. It
appears that during the year 268 banks increased their capital in
the aggregate sum of $131,552,500. Of this number 77 banks
effected the increase by stock dividends, the amount of the increase
in this manner being $16,809,000.
Of the 156 banks reported in voluntary liquidation, 57, with
capital of $5,546,000, were acquired by other national banks, and
99, with capital of $21,835,000, either entered the State banking
system or quit business,
NATIONAL BANK FAILURES
In the Comptroller's report of a year ago he stated that the drift
was toward a more normal condition in the number of failures of
national banks.
This prediction has been justified.
The failures during the past year decreased 60 per cent from the
previous year, there being only 54 failures of going banks as compared
with 135 the previous year and one of these institutions was immediately restored to solvencj^. It was necessary, however, to appoint
receivers for seven banks after their assets had been sold to other
banks in order to collect stock assessments to complete the terms of
the sale. These seven receiverships were not failures of going banks
since their assets had been sold on terms requiring the assumption of
their liabilities in full by the purchasers. Treating these seven banks
as failures would bring the number, when added to the 54 actual failures, to 61, with a capitalization of $4,135,000, as compared with
135 failures during last year with a capitalization of $8,257,000.
Conditions are not now perfect, but I do believe that we are arriving at a normal period in national bank failures.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
From the date of the first failure of a national bank in the year
1865 to October 31, 1928, 1,234 national banks were placed in charge
of receivers. Of this number 70 were restored to solvency and permitted to resume business, leaving 1,164 to be administered by receivers. Of these so administered, 452 (15 less than reported at the
close of 1927), are still in process of liquidation and 712 have been
entirely liquidated and the trusts closed.
The capital of the 1,234 insolvent national banks at the date of
failure was $137,095,420. The capital of the 70 banks that were restored to solvency was $12,095,000. The capital of the 452 banks
that are still in receiverships was $31,259,500, and the capital of the
712 banks that have been completely liquidated was $93,740,920.
The book value of the assets of the 1,164 administered receiverships,
including assets acquired after suspension, aggregated $781,028,163.
Total collections by receivers to September 30, 1928^ from these
assets, including offsets, amounted to $441,849,562. There were levied
against shareholders, stock assessments aggregating $86,395,740, and,
in addition to the amount collected from assets, there was collected on
these stock assessments the sum of $41,405,350, giving a total collection of $483,254,912 from all sources, or 55.7 per cent of total assets
and stock assessments. This sum was disbursed as follows:
Dividends paid to creditors on claims proved aggregating
$429,272,717
$250, 833, 108
Payments to secured and preferred creditors, including offsets
allowed and payments for the protection of assets

In addition to this record of distribution there were returned to
shareholders, through their duly elected agents, assets of a book value
of $16,169,098.
The 452 national banks that were as of October 31, 1928, still in
charge of receivers and in process of liquidation had assets, including
assets acquired subsequent to their failure, aggregating $311,476,541.
Receivers had collected from these assets, as shown by their last
quarterly reports under date of September 30, 1928, including offsets,
the sum of $159,806,222. The capital of these banks was $31,259,500
and there had been levied by the Comptroller of the Currency to
September 30, 1928, stock assessments against the shareholders in
the amount of $28,229,500. From such assessments there had been
collected up to and including September 30, 1928, $13,322,465, making
collections from all sources in the liquidation of these active receiverships a total of $173,128,687, or 50.9 per cent of such assets and
stock assessments, which amount has been distributed as follows:
Dividends paid to creditors on claims proved, aggregating
$179,637,811

1928. These 712 banks had assets, including assets acquired subsequent to their failure, aggregating $469,551,622. Keceivers collected from these assets, including offsets, as shown by their final
reports, the sum of $282,043,340. The capital of these 712 banks
was $93,740,920 and there were levied against their stockholders
by the Comptroller of the Currency stock assessments aggregating
$58,166,240. From such stock assessments there was collected
$28,082,885, making total collections from assets and stock assessments of $310,126,225, or 58.8 per cent of such assets and stock
assessments, which amount was distributed as follows:
Dividends paid to creditors on claims proved aggregating
$249,634,906
$180, 626, 033
Payments to secured and preferred creditors, including offsets

The average percentage of dividends paid on claims proved against
the 782 receiverships that have been finally closed, not including
the 70 restored to solvency, which paid creditors 100 per cent, was
72.36 per cent. If offsets, loans paid, and other disbursements were
included in this calculation the disbursements to creditors would
show an average of 80.57 per cent.
Expenses incident to the administration of the 712 closed trusts
such as receivers' salaries, legal, and other expenses, amounted to
$20,235,434, or 3.83 per cent of the book value of the assets and stock
assessments administered, or 6.52 per cent of collections from assets
and stock assessments. The assessments against shareholders averaged 62.4 per cent of their holdings and the total collections from
such assessments as were levied were 48.28 per cent of the amount
assessed. The outstanding circulation of these closed receiverships
was $35,206,185, secured by United States bonds on deposit with the
Treasury of the United States of the par value of $37,772,610.
During the year ending October 31, 1928, 76 receiverships were
closed, including 2 banks restored to solvency. The total assets of
74 of these receiverships, including assets acquired subsequent to suspension, aggregated $30,420,624. The capital of these banks was
$3,625,000 and the total assessment against shareholders levied by
the Comptroller aggregated $3,205,000. From the assets the
receivers collected, including offsets, $16,680,318, and from the stock
assessments the receivers collected $1,433,529, making of all collections a total of $18,113,847, or 53.87 per cent of such assets and
stock assessments, which sum was distributed as follows:
Dividends paid to creditors on claims proved, aggregating
$18,385,062

Information furnished by the banking departments of the several
States discloses that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1928, there
were 413 failures of State and private banks, with liabilities aggregating $125,784,000, as compared with 689 failures in the previous
year with total liabilities of $206,655,000.
Tables showing the number of failures and liabilities of banks other
than national and national banks in each State, for the 6-month
peziods ended December 31, 1927, and June 30, 1928, together with
similar figures for the year ended June 30, 1928, are published in the
appendix of this report. The appendix also includes a table showing
the number and liabilities of State and national bank failures as of
June 30, each year, 1914 to 1928, inclusive.
NATIONAL-BANK CIRCULATION
Although there was a reduction of nearly $1,000,000,000 made
during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1928, in the interest-bearing
debt of the United States, bonds eligible as security for nationalbank circulation on June 30, 1928, aggregated $674,625,630, the same
as on June 30 of the year previous, and consisted of $599,724,050
consols of 1930; $48,954,180 Panama Canal 2's of 1916-1936, and
$25,947,400 Panama Canal 2's of 1918-1938. The Treasurer on
June 30 of the current year held as security for national-bank circulation $591,220,550 of consols and $74,438,100 Panama Canal 2's,
the total, or $665,658,650, representing 98.67 per cent of the aggregate
of circulation bonds outstanding.
National-bank circulation outstanding at the close of the fiscal
year amounted to $699,620,652, of which $658,732,988 was secured
by bonds, and the remainder, $40,887,664, was secured by lawful
money held by the Treasurer of the United States to provide for the
redemption of the notes of banks retiring their circulation and on
account of associations in liquidation.
In the year ended October 31, 1928, the withdrawal of bonds held
by the Treasurer of the United States in trust as security for nationalbank circulation amounted to $43,183,590. The withdrawals by
reason of liquidation of banks amounted to $24,327,750, and on
account of banks placed in charge of receivers $1,907,750. Bonds
held by the Treasurer of the United States in trust as security for
circulation were augmented to the extent of $43,478,740 on account
of deposits made by newly organized banks and by those increasing
their circulation. The transactions of the year by months in each
account named are shown in the following statement:

1 Includes United States paper currency in circulation in foreign countries and the amount held by the Cuban agency of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
2 Includes money held by the Cuban agency of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
s Does not include gold bullion or foreign coin other than that held by the Treasury, Federal reserve banks, and Federal reserve agents. Gold held by Federal reserve banks
under
earmark for foreign account is excluded, and gold held abroad for Federal reserve banks is included.
4
These amounts are not included in the total since the money held in trust against gold and silver certificates and Treasury notes of 1890 is included under gold coin and bullion
and standard silver dollars, respectively.
* The amount of money held in trust against gold and silver certificates and Treasury notes of 1890 should be deducted from this total before combining it with total money
outside of the Treasury to arrive at the stock of money in the United States.
6 This total includes $20,404,511 of notes in process of redemption, $149,700,062 of gold deposited for redemption of Federal reserve notes, $5,362,953 deposited for redemption of
national-bank
notes, $2,430 deposited for retirement of additional circulation (act of May 30,1908), and $6,444,671 deposited as a reserve against postal-savings deposits.
7
Figures revised to conform to changes effective Dec. 31,1927.
NOTE.—Gold certificates are secured dollar for dollar by gold held in the Treasury for their redemption; silver certificates are secured dollar for dollar by standard silver dollars
held in the Treasury for their redemption; United States notes are secured by a gold reserve of $156,039,088 held in the Treasury. This reserve fund may also be used for the redemption of Treasury notes of 1890, which are also secured dollar for dollar by standard silver dollars held in the Treasury. Federal reserve notes are obligations of the United States and
a first lien on all the assets of the issuing Federal reserve bank. Federal reserve notes are secured by the deposit with Federal reserve agents of a like amount of gold or of gold and
such discounted or purchased paper as is eligible under the terms of the Federal reserve act. Federal reserve banks must maintain a gold reserve of at least 40 per cent, including
the gold redemption fund which must be deposited with the United States Treasurer, against Federal reserve notes in actual circulation. Lawful money has been deposited with
the Treasurer of the United States for retirement of all outstanding Federal reserve bank notes. National-bank notes are secured by United States bonds except where lawful money
has been deposited with the Treasurer of the United States for their retirement. A 5 per cent fund is also maintained in lawful money with the Treasurer of the United States for
the redemption of national bank notes secured by Government bonds.

1 The form of circulation statement was revised beginning June 30,1922, so as to include in the holdings of the Federal reserve banks and agents, and hence, in the stock of money,
gold bullion and foreign gold coin held by the Federal reserve banks and agents, and to include in the holdings of the Federal reserve banks and agents, and hence, exclude from
money in circulation, all forms of money held by the Federal reserve banks and agents whether as reserve against Federal reserve notes or otherwise. The form of the circulation
statement was revised beginning Dec. 31,1927, so as to exclude earmarked gold coin from the stock of money, and hence, from money in circulation, and to include in the holdings
of the Federal reserve banks and agents, and hence, in the stock of money, gold coin and bullion held abroad for the account of^the Federal reserve banks. These changes do not o
affect thefiguresprior to the establishment of the Federal reserve system. For the sake of comparability thefiguresfrom 1915 on, as shown on this statement, have been compiled
on the basis of the revisions mentioned. Beginning on Dec. 31,1927, the circulation statement was also revised to include throughout minor coin (the bronze 1-cent piece and the
nickel 5-cent piece). For the sake of comparability thefiguresfrom 1900 on, as shown on this statement, have been revised to include minor coin. Satisfactory data on minor
coin2for earlier years were not available.
Beginning on Dec. 31, 1927, the circulation statement is dated for the end of the month instead of the beginning of the succeeding month as was the practice theretofore.
3 The amount of money held in trust against gold and silver certificates and Treasury notes of 1890 should be deducted from these totals before combining them with total money
outside of the Treasury to arrive at the stock of money in the United States.

Bank had authority to purchase shipper's drafts drawn on consignee.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Bank had authority to purchase drafts sued on,
which shipper drew on consignee, one of defendants, for turkeys shipped.
(Armour & Co. v. Belton National Bank, 22 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 727.)
Corporations—Corporation authorized by charter to buy turkeys could make valid
agreement to honor drafts in payment therefor.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Corporation, having authority under its charter to
buy turkeys, could make valid agreement to honor drafts as method of
making payment therefor. (Ib.)
COLLATERAL SECURITIES
Pledges—Holder of collateral security may dispose thereof as means of collecting his
debt.
(IT. S. C. C. A. 1928.) A debtor may give collateral and additional security
to secure his obligations, and holder of such security may dispose of it
in accordance with the terms thereof as a means of collecting his debt.
(Union Nat. Bank of Johnstown, Pa., v. People's Savings & Trust Co.,
Pittsburgh, Pa., 28 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 326.)
Pledges—"Collateral security" implies transfer to creditor of interest in property
or obligation, furnishing security in addition to debtor's responsibility\
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Term "collateral security" implies transfer to
creditor of interest in or lien on property, or an obligation which furnishes
security in addition to debtor's responsibility, and debtor's mere execution and delivery of additional unsecured evidence of his indebtedness
does not constitute collateral security for payment of original debt. (Ib.)
Corporations—Corporate borrower's notes, given as further evidence of original debt.
could not be used to increase claim as basis for distribution; "collateral security,"
''additional security."
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where bank loaned $17,500 on corporate borrower's
judgment notes, and, when borrower was unable to pay at maturity, took
borrower's gold notes for $19,000 as further evidence of original loan,
in consideration of extension of time for payment, such gold notes did
not constitute "collateral security," or "additional security," since they
depended for their value on borrower's credit alone, and on borrower's
insolvency could not be used to increase total amount of lender's claim,
as basis for determining bank's share in pro rata distribution of borrower's assets. (Ib.)

EEPOET OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
Pledges—Creditor holding collateral security may, in ca,se of nonpayment,
all remedies, together or singly.
pursue
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) A creditor holding collateral security may, in case
of nonpayment, pursue all his remedies together, or pursue them singly,
since he has a legal property interest in the security, as well as in the
debt, and has the legal right to exercise his choice of remedies in enforcing
his right. (Ib.)
Corporations—On corporate debtor's insolvency, creditor must share pro rata on
basis of his real debt, regardless of number of notes held.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) When corporate debtor becomes insolvent, creditor
must share pro rata with all other creditors on the basis of his real debt,
regardless of whether or not he holds one or more of borrower's notes for
it. (Ib.)
Bankruptcy—Preference of note indorsers, to whom maker's vendor conveyed land
within four months before maker's bankruptcy, was lawful as to securities assigned
nearly three years before bankruptcy.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Even if purchaser was insolvent when vendor conveyed farm to another after default to indorsers of purchaser's notes to
bank within four months before purchaser's bankruptcy, and such indorsers
were chargeable with notice of such fact and obtained preference over
unsecured creditors under assignment of purchase contract, chattel mortgage on farm stock, etc., and mortgage on purchaser's manufacturing
plant, nearly three years before bankruptcy, such preference was lawful
under bankruptcy act (11 U. S. C. A.) to extent to actual securities
assigned. (18 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 987, reversed.) (Dater et al. v. Anderson, 28 Fed. Rep., 2d series. 944.)
Bankruptcy—Assignment to indorser of notes nearly three years before maker's
bankruptcy, to secure all indebtedness to payee at any time, secured notes indorsed
by another.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Purchaser's assignment of farm purchase contract,
chattel mortgage on farm stock, etc., and mortgage on purchaser's manufacturing plant, nearly three years before purchasers bankruptcy, to
indorser of purchaser's notes to bank, to secure any and all indebtedness
purchaser might owe indorser or bank at any time, held to secure loans
by bank on notes secured by another's indorsement, so that court erred
in awarding trustee value of farm above unpaid purchase price and amount
merely of assignee's indorsements. (Ib.)
Payee bank's president acted officially in procuring assignment of securities for
notes indorsed by him.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Bank president indorsing land-purchaser's notes for
loans by bank stood in at least a quasi fiduciary relation to bank, and
hence acted in his official capacity in procuring assignment of contract
and mortgages by purchaser to secure indorsements and all his indebtedness
to bank. (Ib.) "
Bankruptcy—Payee bank could enforce valid assignment to president of securities
for bankrupt's notes, in trustee's suit to set aside preferential transfers.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Under rule that one for whose benefit promise is
made may enforce it in equity, even if not at law, bank making loans
to purchaser of land on' notes indorsed by its president, who procured
assignment of contract and mortgages by purchaser as security for all
his indebtedness to bank nearly three years before his bankruptcy, could
resort to security agreement in suit by trustee to set aside alleged preferential transfers. (Ib.)
Bankruptcy—Bankrupt
land-purchaser's surrender of equity did not preclude
payee bank from enforcing assignment to president of securities for purchaser's
notes.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Land-purchaser's surrender of his contract equity
to vendor within four months before bankruptcy held not to amount,
legally or equitably, to payment of his notes to bank, indorsed by director
thereof, not to preclude bank from enforcing land contract and mortgages,
assigned to its president as security for all of purchaser's indebtedness
to it, if such director has not paid notes he indorsed. (Ib.)
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
137
Subrogation—Director paying notes he indorsed held subrogated to securities assigned
to payee bank's president as against maker's bankruptcy trustee.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Bank director paying back entire amount of notes
indorsed by him held entitled to be subrogated to land-purchase contract
and mortgages, assigned by maker to bank president as security for all
his indebtedness to bank; any question of priority being solely between
such director and purchaser's trustee in bankruptcy, whose rights are
no greater than those of purchaser. (Ib.)
Bankruptcy—Land-purchaser's surrender of interest and vendor's deed to indorsers
of his notes to bank gave his bankruptcy trustee no equity against indorsers.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) That contract equity, surrendered by purchaser of
land to indorsers of his notes to bank, belonged to his creditors because
right of redemption was not formally cut off, gave his trustee in bankruptcy no equity as against such indorsers and vendor who conveyed
land to indorsers within four months before purchaser's bankruptcy;
utmost effect of such surrender and deed being to make indorsers owners
in fee subject to contract, which would give trustee only a right to redeem
within some reasonable time. (Ib.)
Bankruptcy—Lack of formal foreclosure held no basis for charging indorsers of
bankrupt purchaser's notes with defrauding creditors by selling land merely for
amount owed them.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where land purchaser's trustee in bankruptcy, with
knowledge that bankrupt's legal title had been declared forfeited and
that indorsers of his notes to bankrupt claimed full legal title, indicated
no dissatisfaction with indorsees offer of anything he could save for estate
above their debts by sale of property, best offer for which he thought would
leave nothing for bankrupt's equity, lack of formal foreclosure, making
trustee a party, furnished no basis for charging indorsers with transfer
in fraud of creditors in selling land merely for amount owed them. (Ib.)
Bankruptcy—Purchaser's bankruptcy trustee could recover nothing where interest
on price and notes paid by indorser exceeded value of land,.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where interest on purchase price of land and defaulting purchaser's notes to bank, until indorsers sold land for exact
amount of their secured debts after its conveyance to them by vendor
within four months before purchaser's bankruptcy, was more than value
of land as fixed by court, and they paid out greater part of such value to
protect their equity, nothing remained for purchaser's trustee in bankruptcy after allowing priority in assigned security to indorser paying
amount of notes indorsed by him. (Ib.)
Sales—Agreement of bank, holding title to goods as security from seller, to hold boots
specified in contract, held agreement to hold boots of quality called for by sales
contract.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Agreement of bank holding title to boots as security
for debt due from seller, in letter to buyer, to hold "the boots specified
in the contract," subject to an opportunity to verify sizes, held to be an
agreement by bank to hold boots of quality, as well as size, called for by
buyer's contract with seller. (Gotham National Bank v. Sharood Co.,
23 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 567.)
Frauds, statute of—Agreement in form of promise to pay debt of another, made
for promisor's own benefit, is not within statute of frauds.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where promisor has an immediate pecuniary interest
of his own to be subserved, and makes promise in form of promise to pay
debt of another for his own benefit, it is not within statute of frauds.
(Ib.)
Frauds, statute of—Promise of bank pledgee to hold goods of specified quality for
pledgor's purchaser was not promise to answer for default of another.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Promise of bank, holding title to goods as security
for debt from seller, to hold goods of specified quality and size for purchaser from seller, bank's own debtor, was not promise to answer for default of another, within statute of frauds. (Ib.)
138
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
Sales—Conduct of bank holding title to goods as security waived condition of punctual performance of sales contract,
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Conduct of bank, which held title as security to
goods which were subject matter of sales contract, which bank promised
to hold goods of specified quality and size for buyer, in consenting to
release goods and to accept payment from buyer, with full knowledge
that parties were not performing in accordance with strict letter of contract, must be regarded as waiver of condition of punctual performance
of sales contract. (Ib.)
Sales—Defendant's contractual obligation and breach being established by uncontradicted evidence, court properly left to jury only question of damages.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Contractual obligation of defendant bank, holding
title to boots as security for debt from seller, to hold boots of specified
quality and size for buyer, and breach of contract, being established by
evidence without contradiction, court properly left to jury only question
of damages. (Ib.)
Appeal and error—In action for breach of sales contract, charge that bank, holding
title to goods as security, promising to hold goods of specified quality, was liable
as joint seller, held harmless error.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) In action for breach of sales contract, charge that
defendant bank, holding title to goods sold as security from seller, and
promising to hold goods of specified quality and size for buyer, was joint
seller, held harmless error, where bank's contractual obligation and breach
of it was established by evidence without contradiction, and court properly
submitted to jury only question of damages. (Ib.)
National bank, as pledgee, may agree to release pledged goods to purchaser from
pledgor.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) National bank, as pledgee, may agree to release
pledged goods to purchaser from pledgor. (Ib.)
National bank, as pledgee, may warrant quality of goods it promises to release to
purchaser from pledgor.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) As incidental to pledgee's power to agree to release
pledged goods to purchaser from pledgor to realize on its collateral, national
bank, which is pledgee, has power to warrant quality of goods it promises
to release. (Ib.)
Promise of national bank, holding title to goods as security, to hold goods of specified
quality for purchaser from debtor, was not ultra vires.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Promise of national bank, holding title to goods as
security for debt due from seller, to hold goods of specified quality and
size for buyer, was not ultra vires, since bank was cooperating with its
debtor in arranging sale of collateral, in hope of liquidating its own claim.
(Ib.)
Principal and agent—Where principal, knowing facts, retains benefit of unauthorized
contract, he assumes its burdens.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where principal, without knowledge of facts, retains

assumed its burdens. (Ib.)
National bank, retaining benefit of vice president's contract warranting quality of
goods held as pledgee to buyer, after commencement of action, ratified contract.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) National bank, which held title to goods as security,
by retaining benefits of contract after action thereon was commenced,
ratified contract by vice president to hold specified quality and size of
goods for buyer from its debtor, if vice president was unauthorized to
make such contract. (Ib.)

Sales—Buyer•, rejecting goods without rescinding contract, could recover purchase
price, storage and other charges thereon, and difference between contract price and
market price. {Personal Property Law N. Y., sec. 148, sec. 150, par. 1 (c) and
par. 6.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Buyer, rejecting defective goods without rescinding
contract, was entitled to recover, as part of his damages, purchase price of
defective rejected goods, storage and other charges thereon paid by buyer,
and difference between contract price and market price of rejected goods
as loss directly and naturally resulting from breach of contract under
Personal Property Law N. Y., sec. 148, and sec. 150, par. 1 (c) and par
6. (Ib.)
Corporations—Proof of assignment of cause of action sued on from corporation
contracting with defendants to plaintiff corporation of same name held sufficient.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Proof of assignment of cause of action for breach of
sales contract from Minnesota corporation buyer, making contract, to
Delaware corporation of same name, suing defendants, held sufficient,
where record showed that, with object of accomplishing corporal reorganization, buyer voted to sell "ail the property" of its corporation to plaintiff
corporation, which voted to accept "all the property" and assume all the
liabilities, although, in schedule of accounts receivable, claim was listed
at figure which did not include all damages recovered, but schedule also
recited that defendant bringing error guaranteed sales contract, and that
compensation for additional damages was being demanded of them. (Ib.)
Pledges—Negotiable notes, pledged by agent holding them in trust for principal,
passed to pledgee free from secret or latent equities between parties. (C. S* N. C.
sec. 3005-3007, 3008, 3037.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Negotiable notes, secured by chattel mortgages or
crop lien pledged by agent holding title in trust for principal, pursuant
to contract whereby principal furnished fertilizer for sale by agent, passed
to pledgee, not only free from secret or latent equities existing between
the parties to the instruments, but also free from such equities in favor of
third parties of which it had no notice or knowledge, in accordance with
negotiable instruments act of North Carolina (C. S. sees. 3005-3007,
3008, 3037), notwithstanding collateral was pledged as security for money
then loaned and antecedent indebtedness. (New Bern Oil & Fertilizer
Co. v. National Bank of Kinston et ai., 28 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 554.)
Pledges—Bank'fs failure to pursue remedy against accommodation indorser did
not entitle principal to collateral pledged by agent for his own indebtedness.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where negotiable notes secured by mortgages and
crop liens held by agent in trust for principal were pledged by agent as
collateral security for his own indebtedness to bank, failure of bank to pursue its remedy against accommodation maker or indorser on one of principal notes did not entitle principal to collateral to amount of such note,
in that it would be inequitable to compel bank to proceed against indorser
who was liable only on default of maker, rather than on collateral in its
hands. (Ib.)
Marshaling assets and securities—Doctrine of marshaling assets applies only when
it can be done with fairness to parties and without prejudice to third persons.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Doctrine of marshaling assets applies only when it

creditor.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where collateral in hands of secured creditors was
increased in value by receiver's action in furnishing supplies, in consideration of notes theretofore given, secured by collateral, a charge authorized
by referee in bankruptcy of 51 per cent against proceeds of collateral collected by receiver, based on ratio of total expenses to total receipts, was
not chargeable against proceeds of collateral collected by secured creditor
without assistance of receiver or trustee. (Ib.)

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
Bank held not bound by receipts signed by officer falsely showing bank received stock
to be held as collateral for personal loan to officer.
(C. A. of Dist. Col. 1927.) One lending monej?- to vice president of bank, taking
promissory note under agreement that shares of bank stock were held as
collateral, held not entitled to such stock as against bank, after borrower
absconded with funds of bank, under theory that it was held in trust,
where borrower did not, in fact, deliver any shares to lender as collateral,
since lender in such case did not ever come into actual or constructive
possession of such shares, notwithstanding borrower signed receipts showing stock was held as collateral. (Preston v. Equity Savings Bank et al.,
23 Fed Rep., 2d series, 757.)
Liens—Absconding bank officer held, under evidence, without stock subject to equitable
lien for debt.
(C. A. of Dist. Col. 1927.) Vice president of bank, who absconded, held,

to it, after which bank's liquidators paid his debt to bank holding stock as
collateral, and recovered stock, which thej^ applied on defalcation. (Ib.)

Collecting bank held negligent in sending check to bank on which drawn for collection
and failing to do anything toward collection for 10 days.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where collecting bank, which had previously failed
to make collection on defendant's check given to plaintiff for price of
lumber, because bank on which it was drawn and to which it was sent
for collection reported it had not received check, thereafter again sent
to same bank another check received from defendant to replace first
check and did nothing further toward collection for 10 days, though
reasonable time for payment did not exceed 5 days, held, that collecting
bank was negligent, and plaintiff was not entitled to recover its loss from
defendant on subsequent closing of bank, on which check was drawn,
because of insolvency. (Ib.)
Payment—Bank's payment of check in ordinary course would be good, if drawer had

another investment, deposited check collected and payable to himself as
agent to credit of his company's account, and, on said agent's suicide,

recover balance of deposit on hand when account was closed, which was
less than amount of check. (Citizens' & Southern Bank v. Fay ram, 21
Fed. Rep., 2d series, 998.)
Bankruptcy—Bank held not entitled to apply on bankrupt's debt amount collected
by it as trustee on mortgage belonging to others than bankrupt.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where bank, acting as trustee for several banks
participating in mortgage loan, had notice before mortgage notes were
paid, that bankrupt trust company, participating in transaction, had no
beneficial interest in mortgage notes held by bankrupt, and that certain
other banks were beneficial owners thereof, bank was not entitled to
apply on bankrupt's debt to it amount received by it a,s trustee in payment of part of mortgage loan in bankrupt's name, in absence of any
extension of credit or other change of position due to its dealings with
bankrupt with reference to loan. (Commercial Bank & Trust Co. v.

position in reliance on association's ownership of money deposited, plaintiff
was entitled to recover from bank money so collected and deposited, so far
as it could trace collections into deposit. (Ib.)
DEPOSIT OF COUNTY FUNDS
The liability of a surety on a bond given by a bank to secure deposits of county
funds in Nebraska, extends to deposits made in violation of the statute, unless
otherwise provided on the bond itself.
(U. S. Sup. 1928.) The liability of the surety on a bond given by a bank
to secure deposits of county funds in Nebraska is not limited by section
6193, Compiled Statutes, Nebraska, 1922, forbidding any county treasurer
to have such funds on deposit in any bank in excess of 50 per cent of its
paid up capital stock, but extends to deposits made in violation of the
statute, unless otherwise provided in the bond itself. (Certiorari to the
Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit). (People of Sioux

contracts are not taxable as costs under Revised Statutes 823, 824, in action in
Federal courts, but are to be allowed by those courts by inclusion in their judgments.

Nebraska Compiled Statutes, 1922, to be allowed and "taxed as part of
the costs," in actions on guaranty and other specified insurance contracts, are not costs in the ordinary sense and are not taxable as costs
under Revised Statutes, sections 823, 824, in actions in Federal courts,
but are to be allowed in those courts by inclusion in their judgments.
(Ib.)
In fixing attorney's fees regard should be had to the amount involved in the action.
(U. S. Sup. 1928.) For the purpose of fixing a reasonable attorney's fee

the right to withdraw it in the same capacity. (Farmers' Bank of Alamo,
Ga., v. United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co., 28 Fed. Rep. 2d series, 676.)
Bank, having notice or knowledge of depositor's breach of trust in withdrawing and
using fund, is liable for misappropriation.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Bank, in which trustee deposits money, has right to
presume that depositor will not violate his trust, in absence of notice or
knowledge to contrary; but, if it has notice or knowledge of breach of trust
by improper withdrawal and use of trust fund, it becomes liable for misappropriation. (Ib.)
Bank, paying checks against sheriff's personal account from tax account, with knowledge of his withdrawal of public money in payment of personal debts, is liable for

against his personal account, with full knowledge that he was withdrawing
public money in payment of his personal debts, not merely small commissions included in tax account, was bound to know that he was misappropriating trust fund, and hence liable for amount of such checks. (Ib.)

August 24, 1912, section 9 (48 U. S. C. A. § 77; Comp. St. § 3536), held
broad enough to validate Laws Alaska 1921, c. 40, providing for escheats;
such act not having been disapproved by Congress, and the matter of
escheats being customarily the subject of local legislation. (Territory of
Alaska v. First National Bank of Fairbanks, Alaska, 22 Fed. Rep. 2d

EXCHANGE, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC—LETTERS OF CREDIT
The effect of words u favor" of claimants and l'for account of" is not to make the bank
agent for collection but to indicate the account to be credited.
(U. S. Sup. 1927.) Claimants, who were bankers of Budapest, desiring to
procure credit with a New York banking firm (the bankrupts herein) with
which they had a checking account, procured to be deposited with it
(1) a cashier's check of a New York bank payable to the bankrupt's order,
"favor" of claimants, and (2) a check of another New York banker
drawn on its account with the bankrupt and payable to the bankrupt's
order accompanied by a letter stating that it was "for account of" the
claimants. The bankrupts immediately credited both checks to the
claimants, but they were not collected until after the bankruptcy petition
had been filed on the following day.
Held, following Equitable Trust Co. v. Rochling, 275 U. S. 248, that the
effect of the words "favor" and "for account of" was not to make the
bankrupts agents for collection, but was to indicate the account to be
credited; that ownership of the checks passed to the bankrupts, and that
claimants were only general creditors. 10 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 935, reversed in part and affirmed in part. (Latzko et al. v. Equitable Trust Co.,

Java sugar upon delivery f. o. b. cars at Philadelphia, a bank issued a
letter of credit to meet the sellers' drafts, which provided, among other
conditions, that shipment be made by steamer or steamers from Java to
Philadelphia. Held, that the condition was complied with where the consignment came from Java to Philadelphia by a steamer originally destined
from Java " t o Port Said, option New York," but which was diverted while
on the high seas, so that she pursued the same route to Philadelphia as if
she had been destined to that port from the beginning of the voyage.

The words "for account of" are not necessarily to he taken as constituting the payee
an agent for collection, but are to be construed in the light of the intention of the
parties.
(U. S. Sup. 1927.) Respondents, who were bankers of Frankfort-on-Main,
desired in the course of their international business, to arrange a credit at
New York. Pursuant to instructions issued at their request by London
connections, New York banks delivered to a New York banking firm
(afterwards bankrupt) their cashier's checks drawn payable to the order
of that firm "for account of " respondents. On the same day the firm, in
following a course of dealing previously established with respondents,
credited the checks to respondents' account, made book entries indicating
that respondents were entitled to interest on the amount from that date,
and deposited them to its own credit in other banks. Before collection of
the checks the petition in bankruptcy was filed. Held, that the words
"for account of" were not necessarily to be taken as constituting the
payee an agent for collection, but were to be construed in the light of the
intention of the parties as revealed by all the circumstances, and in this
instance their purpose was to advise the bankrupt of the account to which
the checks were to be credited, and not make it an agent for collection, or
restrict its rights as purchaser. 10 Fed, Rep., 2d series 935, reversed. (Ib.)
A Colorado bank drew and sold a draft on an Italian bank requesting a New York
banking firm to protect the draft on presentation and sent to the banking firm
a check for the amount of the draft, The New York firm became bankrupt, the
draft was dishonored, the drawer took it up and claimed special reimbursement
from the trustee in bankruptcy for the amount it paid the firm. Held: (1) That
the amount paid by the claimant to the bankrupt was not paid upon trust to be
applied to the draft; (2) the claimant was not equitable
assignee, pro tanto, of
the bankrupt's deposit with the drawee; (8) the words (i Pay from balance against
this check" did not import assignment.
(U. S. Sup. 1928.) 1. A New York banking firm, in order to enable small
banks in this country to draw upon foreign banks with which it had
credit, offered, upon receipt of advice of such a draft accompanied by
funds adequate to cover it and the firm's compensation, to forward advice
of the draft to the drawee bank and to provide the drawee with funds
sufficient for its payment, by transfer of the firm's credit with the drawee,
or otherwise, the drawing bank to act as principal, and draw in its own
name and the firm being employed merely as agents of the drawer for
the purpose of giving such advice and of providing such funds. In
pursuance of this plan, a Colorado bank, claimant herein, drew and sold
its draft on an Italian bank, notified the firm, requesting that it protect
the draft on presentation, and sent it a check which the firm deposited
to its general account in New York. The firm then sent to the Italian
bank a list of drafts, including drafts issued by itself and by other banks
as well as that of the claimant, with a request to the Italian bank to
protect and honor them and charge them to the firm's account. The
Italian bank so charged them, and credited them in an account " Drafts
payable." To compensate that bank, the firm's account ceased to draw
interest on the amount so charged. International banking practice
permitted the firm to cancel such advices if it saw fit, and regain its
credit. It did not appear that the claimant or the holder of its draft
knew of the mode of bookkeeping described. Thereafter the firm became
bankrupt, the draft for that reason was dishonored, the drawer took
it up and claimed special reimbursement from the trustee in bankruptcy
for the amount it paid the firm. Held: (1) That the sum paid by the
claimant to the bankrupt was not paid upon trust to be applied to the
draft; (2) the claimant was not an equitable assignee, pro tanto, of the
bankrupt's deposit with the drawee.
2. The words "Pay from balance against this check," do not import
an assignment. 13 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 732, reversed. (The Equitable

(U. S. C. C, A. 1928.) Contention that plaintiff had no cause of action
on defendant's failure either to transmit money by wireless to plaintiff's
home office in Germany or to pay over such money to plaintiff as thereafter demanded because of prior seizure by Alien Property Custodian,
held without merit, in view of amendment to the trading with the enemy
act of March 28, 1918 (50 U. S. C. A. Appendix, sec. 12), and letter of
Alien Property Custodian expressly disclaiming any interest in sum of
money sought to be recovered. (Aachen & Munich Fire Ins. Co. v. Guaranty Trust Co. of New York, 27 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 674.)
Limitation of actions—Recovery of money which defendant failed to remit to Germany held not barred by limitations on theory of breach of contract to establish

company to establish a foreign credit by remitting money to plaintiff's
home office in Germany, and condition upon which trust company agreed
to establish credit never happened by reason of stoppage of its cables,
held, that no breach of contract to establish a foreign credit had occurred,
and hence action for recovery of money, which defendant failed to remit
to Germany by wireless, was not barred by statute of limitations. (Ib.)
Complaint held to state cause of action for balance of account which defendant failed

written notice of rescission and demand and failure to pay, held, to state
a sufficient cause of action to recover balance of account, since it showed
that plaintiff sought to recover balance which defendant had refused
to pay, and bringing of action constituted a sufficient demand. (Ib.)
Documents accompanying drafts calling for granulated and fine sugar No. 24 held
fatally defective, where letter of credit called for refined granulated and refined fine
granulated sugar.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Documents accompanying drafts calling for " white
Java granulated sugar No. 24" and "white Java fine sugar No. 24," held
fatally defective where letter of credit called for 150 tons of "white Java
refined granulated sugar" and 350 tons of "white Java refined fine granulated sugar." (Crocker First Nat. Bank of San Francisco (substituted for
Crocker Nat. Bank of San Francisco) v. De Sousa et al., 27 Fed. Rep.,

Bank issuing letter of credit need not look beyond documents accompanying draft to
ascertain whether sugar complies with sales contract.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Bank issuing letter of credit, and agreeing to accept
drafts against shipment of sugar accompanied by certain documents, is
not required to look beyond accompanying documents to ascertain

Contracts—Party need not make good every defense urged against contract, or every
reason assigned for nonperformance.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Party is not bound to make good every defense urged

legally sufficient, he is entitled to prevail. (Ib.)
Jury's verdict for plaintiff, suing bank to recover for breach of oral contract to honor
drafts, held equivalent to finding contract was entered into.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) In action for breach of oral contract by bank to

of agreement to have letter of credit negotiated only through bank,
verdict of jury for plaintiff was equivalent to finding that such contract
was actually entered into. (Royal Card & Paper Co. v. Dresdner Bank,

Sales—Commission broker, if exceeding authority by sending goods at price greater
than specified thereby, offered goods to buyer which, if accepted, were accepted at
invoice price.
(U. S. C. G. A. 1928.) Where order for goods given commission broker
merely placed limitation beyond which broker had no authority to go in
placing orders for buyer, act of commission broker, if exceeding authority
by sending goods at price greater than specified, constituted offer of goods
'to buyer at price invoiced, and buyer, if accepting goods, accepted them
at invoice price. (Ib.)
Sales—Unauthorized shipments, sent buyer by broker, gave buyer privilege of rejecting, but on acceptance buyer was required to pay invoice price.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where order given commission broker merely placed
limitation beyond which broker had no authority to go in placing orders
for buyer, unauthorized shipments sent buyer, gave buyer privilege of
rejection; but if buyer accepted goods it was obliged to pay invoice
prices. (Ib.)
Purchaser could hold bank for damages resulting from bank's paying drafts without
checking invoices against orders, only if rejecting unauthorized shipment.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) On arrival of goods purchased in foreign country
through broker, purchaser had option of rejecting or accepting such goods
as did not conform to his orders, and if it rejected goods, purchaser could
hold bank paying drafts for damages resulting from bank's paying drafts
contrary to contract, requiring bank to check invoices against orders, and
permitting payment for goods not corresponding to orders. (Ib.)
Purchaser, accepting goods conforming to orders, was required to pay invoice price,
and suffered no damage by bank's paying drafts without checking invoices against
orders.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Purchaser, if accepting goods not conforming to
orders, thereby purchased at invoice prices, and payment by bank of
drafts for goods, though constituting breach of contract to check invoices
against signed orders, caused purchaser no damage. (Ib.)
Purchaser held to have accepted goods not conforming to order, losing privilege of
rejection, and could not recover damages against bank not checking invoices
against orders.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) In action by purchaser of goods against bank, through
which letter of credit was negotiated, for breach of oral contract to honor
draft only after checking invoices against signed orders, where evidence
failed to show purchaser ever notified broker or seller that it would reject
any of goods shipped not conforming to orders, "but merely notified bank
of refusal to accept all shipments, but showed that purchaser treated goods
as its own, pledging goods for debt it might incur to bank issuing letter of
credit, purchaser lost privilege of returning goods to seller, testimony that
they were subsequently returned being immaterial, and could recover no
damages against bank for permitting payment for goods not corresponding
with orders. (Ib.)
Sales—Purchaser could accept or refuse goods sent without order, but was bound to
indicate to seller intention to refuse goods.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Goods sent by seller to purchaser, without any orders
therefor, having been placed by purchaser's agent, could be accepted or
refused by purchaser, and, until accepted, goods remained property of
seller; but purchaser was bound to indicate to seller, or at least to broker,
intention to refuse goods in order to effectuate such intention. (Ib.)
Sales—Purchaser, having privilege of rejecting goods, but reselling goods, though for
seller's account, is regarded as accepting goods.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) When purchaser has privilege of rejecting goods, and
instead of exercising such privilege it resells goods, it is ordinarily regarded
as act of acceptance, though buyer directs sale be made for seller's account.

REPOKT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
Purchaser held to have accepted goods not ordered, becoming bound for invoice prices,
and could not recover damages against bank for paying for goods.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where goods not ordered were shipped to purchaser,
and purchaser did not indicate to seller or broker intention not to accept
goods, and after discovering goods were not ordered sold goods for account
of bank paying drafts, in violation of contract to check invoices against
orders, purchaser, as against seller, is deemed to have accepted goods, and
became bound to pay for them at invoice prices, and hence could not
recover damages against bank for paying for goods not ordered. (Ib.)
Trial—Dismissal on merits on reserved motion against plaintiff recovering verdict,
but not showing damage, held error, though nonsuit was proper.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where plaintiff sued for breach of oral contract, and
court reserved decision on motion for nonsuit until after verdict, and plaintiff recovered verdict, but failed to show damage, it was not error to grant
the motion, but it was error to dismiss complaint on merits. (Ib.)
Declaration alleging delivery of money, and defendant1 s failure to deposit it in Hungarian bank or deliver passbook, held good on general demurrer.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Declaration alleging that plaintiff, a citizen of Indiana, was induced by defendants, citizens of Illinois, to deliver them
named amount of money, which they agreed to deposit to plaintiff's credit
in Hungarian bank and deliver passbook to her therefor, or return money
within reasonable time, that defendants failed to make deposit or deliver
passbook, and on demand refused to return money, held to state cause of
action. (Boer v. Revesz et al., 24 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 103.)
Limitation of actions—Statute of limitations can not, under Illinois practice, be
raised by general demurrer.
(XL S. C. C. A. 1928.) The statute of limitations can not, under the Illinois
practice, be raised by a general demurrer to a declaration. (Ib.)
That other documenis^ were presented, instead of drafts, did not relieve defendant
agreeing to indemnify bank issuing letters of credit.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) That documents complying with terms of letters of
credit were presented to bank issuing letters of credit instead of drafts,
under which documents payments were made, did not relieve defendant
company, which agreed to indemnify bank from liability, since letters of
credit did not require drawing of drafts, but merely assumed they would
be drawn, and receipts furnished served as vouchers as well as drafts
would have done. (Richard et al. v. Royal Bank of Canada, 23 Fed.
Rep., 2d series, 430.)
That no weight certificates were presented did not relieve defendant, agreeing to
indemnify bank issuing letters of credit, weight being given on invoices.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where letters of credit provided that weight certificates approved by certain parties should be presented with drafts, fact
that weight certificates were not presented to bank issuing letters of credit
did not relieve defendant company, which agreed to indemnify bank,
where weight was given on invoices presented with documents, and weight
was approved by persons designated to prove weight certificates. (Ib.)
That bills of lading presented were not indorsed "freight collect" did not relieve
defendant, agreeing to indemnify bank issuing letters of credit.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where letters of credit provided that complete set
of on-board bills of lading drawn to order, blank indorsed, showing " freight
collect," should be presented with drafts, fact that bills of lading presented to bank issuing letters of credit were not indorsed "freight collect,"
but "subject to demurrage as per statement attached to original bills of
lading only," did not relieve defendant company, which agreed to indemnify bank, of liability, where bills all showed that freight was to be paid
by consignee. (Ib.)
That bills of lading presented did not show cost of material, transportation, and
handling charges did not relieve defendant, agreeing to indemnify bank issuing
letters of credit.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where letter of credit provided that drafts should

and commission, and application provided that it should be "payable
against on-board bills of lading, * * * receipted invoice signed by
* * * showing cost of material, transportation, handling charges, and
commission," fact that bills of lading presented did not show cost of material, cost of transportation, and charges for handling and commission did
not relieve defendant company, which agreed to indemnify bank, since
words "a, complete set of" referred to complete set of documents, a'nd
not to duplicate or triplicate bills of lading. (Ib.)
Answer of defendants, agreeing to indemnify bank issuing tetters of credit, justified
construction of contract rendering statement of freight unnecessary.
(IT. S. C. C. A. 1928.) In action by bank to recover under contract to
reimburse it for advances made in accordance with letters of credit,
answer of defendants to allegation regarding due presentation of required
documents, only specifying objection that plaintiff did not present to
defendants weight certificate, showed defendants' own interpretation of
agreement, justifying practical construction of contract rendering statement of amount of freight in documents presented unnecessary. (Ib.)
That bills of lading presented did not contain details regarding demurrage did not
relieve defendant, agreeing to indemnify bank issuing letters of credit.
(TJ. S. C. C. A. 1928.) That bills of lading presented to bank issuing letters
of credit had marginal notation, "Subject to demurrage as per statement
attached to original bills of lading," did not relieve defendant company,
which agreed to indemnify bank issuing letters of credit, on ground that
bills of lading were not effective, because not containing details regarding
demurrage. (Ib,)
Bank's written statement, on refusing to pay draft drawn against letter of credit,
that documents were not in accordance therewith, held sufficient.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Statement in writing, at time of bank's refusal to
pay draft drawn against its letter of credit, that documents presented
with draft were not in accordance with requirements of letter of credit,
held sufficient. (Welte Fargo Nevada Natl. Bank of San Francisco v. Corn

Transaction under lette'r of credit is purchase of documents to be delivered, ihereby.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) The transaction under a letter of credit is a purchase of documents required to be delivered by such letter of credit. (Ib.)
Bank held justified in refusing payment of draft drawn against letter of credit requiring delivery of invoice, where invoice presented showed another's interest in
merchandise.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Where letter of credit required delivery of invoice,
together with other documents, presenting invoice, showing that part of
merchandise belonged to one and a part to another, justified bank's
refusal to pay draft drawn against such letter of credit. (Ib.)
War—American bank held indebted to Austrian bank for balance of deposit retained
bjj it under bonds to Alien Property Custodian until after close of war.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Plaintiff is a bank in Vienna and defendant a bank
in Pittsburgh. At the opening of the war they were correspondents, each
having a credit deposit with the other. During the war defendant made
a voluntary statement to the Alien Property Custodian of its indebtedness to plaintiff and delivered to him bonds covering the same but under
agreement that title should not pass until it ascertained the amount of
its credit with plaintiff, which might be set-off, and then only to the excess above that amount; the remaining bonds to be returned, which agreement was carried out, and the amount so ascertained paid back. After
termination of the war, by agreement and in accordance with the law of
Austria, defendant's account with plaintiff was closed out and the amount
due defendant placed in special deposit subject to its order. Held, that
this transaction operated as payment of plaintiff's indebtedness to defendant, that defendant was discharged from its debt to plaintiff only to
the extent of the amount finally retained by the custodian, and that a
right of action existed against it for the part of the deposit which was
returned. (Anglo Oesterreichische Bank v. First National Bank of Pittsburgh, 24 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 119.)

Bills and notes—Evidence sustained finding that notes altered by changing name of
payee were complete and regular on their face, rendering indorsee holder in due

Alteration of instruments—Bills and notes—Changing name of payee without
maker's consent is " material alteration," avoiding note in hands of holder in due
course.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Changing the name of the payee in a note after
execution, where without the consent of the maker, is a "material alteration," which avoids the note, even in the hands of a holder in due course,

Mo., 1919, section 911.) (Ib.)
Alteration of instruments—Evidence supported finding that bank cashier had authority
to insert his name as payee in notes payable to bank, bearing no dates, which
directors left with him to use in borrowing money or as collateral.
(U. S. C C. A. 1928.) In action against bank directors as makers of notes,
in which defense was that bank cashier had altered note by making himself
payee in place of bank, evidence held to support finding that cashier, with
whom notes were left for use as collateral or to borrow money, with date
of making and maturity blank, had authority to change name of payee, so
that notes were not avoided in hands of holder in due course, under negotiable instruments law Mo., section 125 (Rev. St. Mo. 1919, sec. 911). (Ib.)

bank on its guaranty of prior indorsements, since Government made no
mistake as to identity of payee, but merely as to her legal status, which

motion made for judgment. (Akre et al. v. Liberty State Bank of Minne* apolis, 24 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 816.)
Courts—Sufficiency of pleadings is reviewable, though findings were not requested
and no motion made for judgment. {28 U. S. C. A., §§ 773, 875.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Question whether pleadings are sufficient to support
judgment is open for review under 28 U. S. C. A., sections 773, 875,
though no request is made for findings and conclusions and no motion
made for judgment. (Ib.)
Courts—Guaranties attached to complaint and incorporated by reference, held construable on writ of error as part of pleadings. {28 U. S. C. A., §§ 773, 875.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Guaranties attached to complaint and by reference
made a part thereof were open to construction on writ of error as part of
pleadings under 28 U. S. C. A., sections 773, 875, notwithstanding failure
to request findings and conclusions and failure to move for judgment,
in suit on guaranties. (Ib.)
Guaranty of indebtedness due and of certificates of deposit which debtor bank
might transfer to creditor bank held to cover debtor bank's certificate of deposit
which depositor delivered to creditor bank.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Guaranty to creditor bank of payment at maturity
of notes and checks and other written obligations for which debtor bank
should become obligated, and of notes, certificates of deposit, and checks
which debtor bank might transfer to creditor bank receiving payment or
credit, held broad enough to apply to promissory note given creditor bank
and certificate of deposit of debtor bank, which depositor indorsed and
delivered to creditor bank. (Ib.)
Guaranty of notes sold or rediscounted by debtor bank held not to cover certificate
of deposit issued by it, which depositor delivered to creditor bank.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Guaranty reciting that, "for value received, we hereby severally and individually guarantee payment at maturity or any
time thereafter, with interest until paid, waiving demand, notice of nonpayment, and protest on any notes sold or rediscounted after this date,"
by debtor bank to creditor bank, held not to cover certificate of deposit
issued by debtor bank, which depositor indorsed and delivered to creditor

Statute authorizing trust companies to make contracts held to authorize only contracts for proper corporate purposes. {Civ. Code Ga. 1910, sec. 2817, as amended
by acts 1917, p. 56.)

acts 1917, page 56, authorizing trust company organized thereunder,
among other things, to make contracts, held not to authorize all sorts of
contracts, being no more than general power to contract for proper corporate purposes, in view of many special sorts of contracts subsequently
specified, some with limitations and conditions. (In re Bankers' Trust
Co., 27 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 912.)
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY"

Trust company's accommodation indorsement and guaranty of paper of banks
for which it acted as financial agent held ultra vires and void. (Civ. Code Ga.
1910, sec. 2817, as amended by acts 1917, p. 56.)
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Where trust company, in order to rediscount paper of
banks for which it acted as financial agent and to procure credit for them
guaranteed their paper by indorsement for no consideration moving to
it other than the contracted salaries paid by banks, held that such transactions were void and ultra vires, under Civil Code Georgia 1910, section
2817, as amended by acts 1917, page 56, prescribing powers of such
corporations, in absence of special circumstances. (Ib.)
Trust company's ultra vires accommodation contracts of guaranty and indorsement
held not enforceable on theory of estoppel.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Where trust company's indorsement and guaranty of
paper of other banks for which it acted as financial agent was ultra vires,
principle of estoppel could not be invoked to hold it liable to one acting
in reliance thereon, especially where party seeking to enforce such claim
had knowledge of its Jack of power. (Ib.)
Indorsement of drafts, "Pay to any bank or banker," suggests that the indorsement
is for collection only, but may be shown to be for negotiation.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) An indorsement of drafts, "Pay to any bank or banker,"
is so commonly used in forwarding paper for collection as to put one on
inquiry as to whether the indorsee is the owner, or only an agent for
collection; but such indorsement does not mean in law that it is an indorsement for collection, and may be shown to be for negotiation. (Philadelphia Natl. Bank v. Fulton National Bank, 25 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 995.)
Guaranty by indorser of drafts of genuineness of all prior indorsements is addressed
to all who may be called on to deal with the paper.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) A guaranty by the indorser of a draft of the genuineness
of all prior indorsements, while addressed to the drawee, is also intended
to give confidence in that respect to all who may be called on to deal with
the paper, and to be addressed to them all. (Ib.)
Bank, ponying drafts, held entitled to recover on guaranty of indorser of genuineness
of all prior indorsements which were forgeries.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Defendant bank paid drafts drawn on an insurance
company, indorsed them, "Pay to any bank or banker," with a guaranty
of genuineness of all prior indorsements, and forwarded them to plaintiff
bank, of which the insurance company was a depositor. Plaintiff paid
the drafts and charged the amount to the depositor's account. The
prior indorsements were forgeries, and on demand of the insurance company plaintiff took up the drafts and brought suit against defendant on
its guaranty. Held, that plaintiff was entitled to recover, either on the
ground that the guaranty was addressed to it, as well as the drawee, or
as succeeding to the rights of the insurance company, to which it became
obligated on the faith of such guaranty. (Ib.)

(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Comptroller of Currency held justified in entering
settlement agreement with directors of insolvent national bank, under
12 U. S. C. A., section 192, as against contention that he acted in bad
faith and in collusion with directors of another bank. (Ib.)
PRESUMPTION AS TO REGULARITY OF APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER
Acts of Comptroller of the Currency in declaring national bank insolvent, appointing
receiver, and making assessment on bank stock, and acts of receiver, must be presumed valid.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) As Comptroller of the Currency and receiver for
national bank appointed by him are officers acting by authority of law,
it must, in the absence of contrary showing, be presumed that acts of
comptroller in declaring the bank to be insolvent, appointing receiver
therefor, and making assessment on the shares of bank's stock and demanding payment thereof, and acts of the receiver, were regular, valid, and
binding on shareholder. (Prey v. Millett, 22 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 294.)

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
157
Insolvent bank, after proof of its possession of money collected on check deposited
for collection and credit, had burden of showing disposal.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where principal had proved that money received
on check deposited by agent for collection and credit had come into possession of insolvent bank, burden rested on bank to show how it had disposed of it. (Ib.)
Proof of agent's indebtedness to insolvent bank held no defense to principal's claim
for proceeds of check deposited by agent.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Proof that agent was indebted to an insolvent bank
in an amount greater than amount of check belonging to principal and
deposited for collection and credit is not of itself a sufficient defense to
principal's claim against bank for money had and received. (Ib.)
Interest on claim against insolvent bank held erroneously allowed from date of deposit
to date of decree.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Interest on claim allowed as general claim against
insolvent bank, held improperly allowed from date of deposit to the date
of decree instead of to date of closing of bank. (Ib.)
Under Federal practice, district judge may in proper case refer cause to auditor.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Under Federal practice district court judge has power
in proper case to refer a cause to an auditor for the purpose of simplifying
issues and thereby enabling the court and jury to more readily determine
matters in dispute. (Veneri v. Draper; Mariotti v. Draper, 22 Fed.
Rep., 2d series, 33.)
State statutes authorizing reference to master for determination of issues will not be
followed by Federal court. (Conformity act (28 U. S. C. A., § 724)) Const.
amend. 7.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Practice prescribed by State statutes, authorizing
reference to master for determination of issues in case, will not be followed
by the Federal courts under the conformity act (28 U. S. C. A., § 724
(Comp. St., § 1537)), because of requirement of the seventh amendment
to the Constitution that trial by jury be preserved. (Ib.)
Jury—Appointing auditor and receiving report in evidence held not unconstitutional
(Const amend. 7.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Appointing an auditor and allowing his report to be
received in evidence held not to constitute a violation of constitutional
amendment 7. (Ib.)
Reference—Trial court properly referred case involving examination of bank accounts,
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) In case involving examination of banking accounts,
extending over period of years and embracing large number of deposits
and checks, the trial court properly exercised its power to refer case to
auditor. (Ib.)
Reference—Order of reference in case involving examination of bank accounts properly directed auditor to report findings as to indebtedness.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Order of reference, in case involving examination of

deposits and checks, properly directed auditor to report his findings as to
the indebtedness of the parties; he being required to take, state, and report
an account which would show, not only amount due by party found to be
indebted, but also the facts on which such finding could be predicated.
(Ib.)
Reference—Auditor's report was properly admitted in evidence, with charge that ii
was prima facie correct.
(U. S. C. O. A. 1927.) Where case involving examination of bank account,

under Federal
practice, may properly be followed by Federal court. (Barnes9 Code W. Va.7
c. 129, § 10; conformity act (28 U. S. C. A., § 724).)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Procedure prescribed by Barnes' Code (W. Va.,
c. 129, § 10) in case of reference being practically the same as that followed
under Federal practice, may. properly be followed by Federal courts of
West Virginia under the conformity act. (28 U. S. C. A., § 724 (Comp.
St., § 1537).) (Ib.)
Appeal and error—Appellate court will consider point relating to admission of testimony, which is not based on exception, only in exceptional cases.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Point relating to admission of evidence, which is not
based on an exception in record, will not be considered by appellate court
except in very exceptional cases. (Ib.)
Appeal and error—Assignment of error will not take place of exception.

balance in favor of defendants up to time of its closing, those statements
would be binding on parties, held properly refused, in that it would mean
sending of statements concluded rights of parties, notwithstanding testimony that bank had paid out large sums for defendants on checks not
charged to their accounts. (Ib.)
Account stated—Generally statement of account sent by bank to customer becomes
account stated.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Generally, where statement of account is sent by
bank to one of its customers, together with his canceled checks or vouchers,
and customer retains them, and does not object to it within a reasonable
time, it becomes account stated between bank and depositor. (Ib.)
Account stated—Bank statements sent customer are not conclusive, even after they
have been retained and acquiesced in.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Bank statements sent customer are not conclusive,
even after they have been retained and acquiesced in by customer, thereby
becoming an account stated, since an account stated may be impeached
for fraud, mistake, or error. [Ib.]
Account stated—Account stated, as defense in action at law, may be impeached
without resorting to bill in equity.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Where account stated is asserted as a defense in an
action at law, it may be impeached there, without resorting to a bill in
equity. (Ib.)

recover moneys paid out on defendants' checks and not charged to their
accounts, evidence relative to statements rendered by bank being erroneous

(Ib.)
Appeal and error—Sole questions reviewable after directed verdict were whether there

(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where both parties moved for directed verdict, only
questions open in the reviewing court were whether there was any substantial evidence to support the findings and whether there was any error
in the application of the law. (Ib.)
Removal of causes—Action against insolvent national bank for reconveyance of
realty is not removable to Federal court, where receiver is not joined as defendant;
"winding up affairs of a national bank." (Jud. Code, sec. 24 (16); 28 U. S. C. A.
sec. 41 (16).)
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Action in State court against insolvent national bank
to obtain reconveyance by bank of real estate to plaintiff is not removable
to Federal court as one "for winding up the affairs of a national bank"
within Judicial Code, section 24 (16) (28 U. S. C. A., section 41 (16)),
where bank's receiver is not joined as defendant, and no relief is sought
against him. (Barons v. First Nat. Bank of Plainville, Kans., 28 Fed.
Rep., 2d series, 615.)
Courts—Court will not enter decree affecting title to property in possession of receiver
of another court of coordinate jurisdiction.

RECEIVER'S SUIT ON NOTE
Pleading—Receiver of national bank, suing on note? held not entitled to judgment on
pleadings, where defendant alleged bank took note with knowledge of fraud.
(U. S. G. C. A, 1928.) In action by receiver of national bank to recover on
promissory note held by bank, in which defendant admitted execution of
note, but alleged that bank took it from officer with knowledge that its
execution was induced by false and fraudulent representations as to
solvency of bank, and set up counterclaim for amount paid on note,
plain tiff held not entitled to judgment on pleadings, (Williams v. Green,
23 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 796.)
Bills and notes—In action on note by receiver of national bank, case held for jury on
theory that bank took note with notice of fraud.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) In action by receiver of national bank to recover on
note held by bank, evidence held sufficient to take case to jury on theory
that bank took note from officer with notice that its execution had been
induced by false and fraudulent representations as to value of bank's
stock and solvency of bank. (Ib.)
Bills and notes—Where execution of note is proved to have been obtained by fraud,
holder must prove it took note before maturityf for value, and without notice.
(Negotiable instruments law of North Carolina.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Under negotiable instruments law as enacted in
North Carolina (C. S. N. C. §§ 2976-3171, as amended by Pub. Laws
N. C. 1923, c. 72), holder of negotiable note is presumed to be holder in
due course; but, when execution is proved, to have been obtained by
fraud, burden shifts to holder to prove that it took note before maturity,
for value, and without notice. (Ib.)
National-bank receiver takes assets subject to claims and defenses available as against
insolvent corporation before liens attached.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Receiver of national bank takes assets of bank as
mere trustee for creditors, and not for value and without notice, and, in
absence of statutes to contrary, subject to all claims and defenses that
might have been interposed as against insolvent corporation before liens
of United States and of general creditors attached. (Ib.)
Bills and notes—False statement, made without knowledge of truth or falsity, and
inducing execution of note, constitutes fraud.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) In order for false representation, inducing execution
of note, to constitute fraud, it is not necessary that actual knowledge of
falsity should be known to party making it; it being sufficient if assertion
was made without knowledge of whether it were true or false. (Ib.)
Bills and notes—Curtailment and renewal of note, induced by fraud and transferred
with notice, does not bar defense of fraud, nor right to recover payments.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where note is induced by fraud, and transferred to
national bank with notice of fraud, curtailment of original note by payment thereon, and renewal by execution of another note for balance, does
not deprive maker of right to defeat recovery by receiver of bank, on
ground of such fraud, nor bar right to recover from receiver amount paid
on note, with interest. (Ib.)
RECEIVER'S SUIT TO RECOVER DIVIDENDS
Pleading—Bill in ancillary receiver's suit to recover dividends paid stockholders,
alleging insolvency, though indefinite, held not subject to dismissal (rules 20, 29).

stockholders of certain dividends alleged to have been paid from assets of
corporation at time corporation was in debt, and in fact insolvent, held

rule 29; proper remedy being to move under rule 20 for a better statement.
(Wood' v. National City Bank et al., 24 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 661.)
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
161
Corporations—Bill by ancillary receiver to recover dividends paid stockholders held
insufficient to state cause of suit for impairment of capital.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Bill in suit by ancillary receiver to recover dividends
paid stockholders held insufficient to set forth a cause of suit based on impairment of capital, where not alleging that stockholders were privy to
directors' tort, since, when liability is based merely on depletion of capital,
a stockholder must be charged with notice of that fact. (Ib.)
Corporations—Stockholders receiving dividends in fraud of creditors are liable therefor.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where dividends are paid on corporate stock in'fraud
of creditors, stockholders are liable on theory that capital assets had
become a trust fund, and payments are charged with whatever trust they
were subject to in hands of corporation. (Ib.)
Corporations—Ancillary receiver's bill to recover dividends paid stockholders as in
fraud of creditors held insufficient.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Bill by ancillary receiver to recover dividends paid
stockholders from assets of corporation, held insufficient to state cause of
action based on payment in fraud of creditors, because of failure to allege
that any of creditors in existence when receiver was appointed were
creditors when dividends were declared, since only in such case did question arise whether insolvency per se would void the gift. (Ib.)
Fraudulent conveyances—Gift depending on donor's insolvency is voidable only at
demand of creditors existing at time of gift.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) When invalidity of gift depends only on fact of
donor's insolvency regardless of its intent, it is voidable only at demand
of creditors existing when it was made. (Ib.)
ACTIONS AGAINST RECEIVERS
WHEN REMOVABLE TO FEDERAL COURT
'Removal of causes—Case arising under Federal laws, nonremovable on complaint
when commenced, can not be made removable by evidence or court order on issue
tried on merits. (Jud. Code, sec. 28 (28 U. S. C. A.y sec. 71).)
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) The general rule is that a case arising under the laws
of the United States, nonremovable on the complaint when commenced,
can not be converted into a removable one under Judicial Code, section
28 (28 U. S. C. A., sec. 71), by evidence of defendant, or by an order of
the court on aifissue tried on the merits; but such conversion can only be
accomplished by plaintiff's voluntary amendment of his pleadings, or
where case is not reviewable because of joinder of defendants, by voluntary dismissal, or nonsuit by him of a party defendant. (Moulton v.
National Farmers' Bank of Owatonna, Minn, et al., 27 Fed. Rep., 2d
series, 403.)
Removal of causes—Application for removal should be denied if case is not removable
or is not one of which Federal court may assume jurisdiction.
(U. S. D. G. 1928.) If case is not removable from State to Federal court,
or is not one
of which Federal court may properly assume jurisdiction,
defendants7 application for removal should be denied. (Ib.)
Removal of causes—Action for money had and receivedu against insolvent national
bank and its receiver is removable to Federal court; for winding up affairs of
bank." (Jud. Code, sees. 2/h 28 (28 U. S. C. A., sec. 41 (16), 71).)
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) An action for money had and received against an insolvent national bank and its receiver is a case "for winding up the affairs
of a b a n k / ' within Judicial Code, section 24 (28 U. S. C. A., sec. 41 (16)),
which may be removed from State court to Federal court on defendants7
petition, under Judicial Code, section 28 (28 U. S. C. A., sec, 71). (Ib.)
Removal of causes—Action by creditor of insolvent national bank without joining
receiver is not removable to Federal court; "for winding up affairs of a bank."
(Jud. Code, sec. 28 (28 U, S. C. A., sec. 71)1)
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Under Judicial Code, section 28 (28 U. S. C. A., sec.
71), creditor of insolvent national bank has right to sue bank in State court
without joining receiver, and such action is not removable, since suit,

PREFERENCES IN INSOLVENCY
SPECIAL DEPOSIT OP BONDS
Trusts—Bank's pledge of bond deposited under agreement for return to depositor on
demand was wrongful act, and created trust for depositor.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Conduct of bank in pledging as security a bond deposited
with it under agreement for its return to depositor on his order was wrongful, and created trust in depositor's favor, though agreement made interest
thereon payable in lieu of interest provided by the bonds. (Gwynn v. •
Spurway, 28 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 37.)
Depositor's bond, wrongfully pledged by insolvent bank, held traceable to balance
returned to receiver after pledgee's sale entitling depositor to participate as preferred
creditor.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Where insolvent bank, without authority, pledged
depositor's bond, together with other collateral, to secure indebtedness to
another bank, and sale of collateral by the latter bank left balance in
excess of indebtedness, which, with other collateral, was applied on other
indebtedness, leaving still largef balance, which was returned to insolvent
bank's receiver, depositor's bond was traceable as trust fund into amount
received by receiver and depositor had right to participate pro rata in
such fund as preferred creditor. (Ib.)
Depositor held not estopped to claim preference by accepting dividends as general
creditor after disallowance of preferred claim.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Depositor, who on bank's insolvency filed claim as
general unsecured creditor of bank for bond deposited, and subsequently
amended claim to seek preference, and who thereafter, on receiver's
disallowance of application for preference and allowance of claim as
general unsecured claim, received and accepted payments of dividends,
was not estopped to ask for preferred allowance, where it did not appear
that the receiver had been injured. (Ib.)
Order granting priority as to bond deposited held subject to dividends received by
depositor, and did not affect general claim for interest and balance remaining.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Where bond deposited in bank was wrongfully pledged
by bank, allowance to depositor of right of priority in fujids held by
bank's receiver was subject to payments received by depositor as dividends
as general creditor, and did not affect his right to establish claim against
estate as general creditor for interest on bond or balance due after exhausting trust fund. (Ib.)
Deposit of bonds, with understanding that bank might treat them as its own, created
debtor and creditor, not trust, relationship.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Where plaintiff deposited bonds with bank and received
receipt reciting that bank might treat the bonds as its own property,
returning equivalent bonds, relation of debtor and creditor, and not that
of trustee and beneficiary, arose between the bank and the depositor.
(Kohler v. Spurway, 28 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 36.)
Depositor, authorizing bank to treat bonds deposited as its own, had no preferred
claim on bank's insolvency, by virtue of bank's pledge thereof.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) One who deposited bonds with bank, under agreement
that bank might treat the bonds as its own property, remaining liable to
return equivalent bonds, was not entitled to preferred claim on bank's
insolvency, by virtue of bank's pledge of bonds, which were disposed of
by pledgee, since mere debtor and creditor relation existed. (Ib.)
DEPOSIT OF CHECKS OR DRAFTS FOR COLLECTION
Drawer of draft, with bill of lading for peanuts attached, held entitled to lien on
funds in hands of receiver of bank to which draft and bill of lading were forwarded.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Plaintiff, who shipped peanuts to dealer and forwarded
to bank draft therefor with bill of lading attached, is entitled to decree
for amount of its claim, without interest, against bank's receiver, with
recognition of its equitable lien on the funds in the hands of the receiver,
KEPOKT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

but without prejudice to the rights of any other claimants similarity situated; the bank having detached and delivered to the dealer the bill of
lading without exacting payment of the draft, and dealer having so obtained the nuts and mixed them with those of others, and then delivered
to the bank bills of lading for similar quantities of shelled nuts, and the
bank having then charged to its account the draft of the plaintiff and
received payment for the nuts shipped through the sale of such shelled
nuts, though the proceeds thereof, when received by it, were mingled with
other moneys. (Monticello Hardware Co. v. Weston, 28 Fed. Rep., 2d
series, 672.)
Appeal and error—Error proceedings in suit in equity, which parties treated as
one at law, may be treated as an appeal {28 U. S.C. A. § 861; Comp. St. § 1649b.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where parties treated suit against bank receiver
for declaration and enforcement of a trust as if it were one in law, and took
writ of error from judgment, under act February 13, 1925. (43 Stat. 941
[28 U. S. C. A. § 861; Comp. St. § 1649b]), the error proceedings may be
treated as an appeal. (Peoples Nat. Bank of Hot Springs et al. v. Moore,
25 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 599.)
Trust arising by agency on check being left with bank for collection continues until
collection is made.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) When checks are left with a bank for collection, in
absence of any special contract, the trust arising by reason of the agency
continues until after collection is made. (Ib.)
Payment—Acceptance of bill of exchange or note is not payment of debt, in absence
of express agreement.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Acceptance from debtor of bill of exchange, promissory note, or other promise to pay is not payment of debt, unless there is
express agreement that it is received as payment, or unless there is clear
and satisfactory proof of the intention that it is so received. (Ib.)
Bank's authority to act as agent in collection of checks terminated on its insolvency.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) On bank with whom checks were left for collection
becoming insolvent and ceasing to do business, its authority to act as agent
of one delivering checks terminated. (Ib.)
Trusts—Trustee, making payment out of mingled funds of trust estate and his own
funds, is presumed to have made payment out of his own portion of fund.
(U. S. C. C. A*. 1928.) If trustee mingles money belonging to trust estate
with his own funds, and then pays out some of the fund, it will be presumed
that he did that which was lawful, and therefore made his payments out
of his own portion of the fund. (Ib.)
Where bankj receiving^ checks for collection, used them to offset obligations to another
bank receiving drafts for balance due, held that, on its insolvency, draft became
impressed with trust for amount of checks.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where bank to whom checks were sent for collection
used them with other obligations to offset obligations of its own held by
another bank, and received draft from other bank representing balance
due, held, that it must be presumed, in absence of evidence to contrary, that
collecting bank applied to its debts due other bank its own obligations, and
received draft as representing in part amount of checks, and hence, on
collecting bank becoming insolvent, owner of checks was entitled to impress a trust on such draft and its proceeds. (Ib.)
Interest held not allowable, after failure of bank, on claims impressed as trust on
funds of receiver.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) One claiming preferenial payment out of proceeds
of insolvent bank in hands of receiver as trust fund, by reason of mingling
of claimant's checks with other obligations of bank, held not entitled to
recovery of interest on claim after bank failed. (Ib.)
Trust fund claimant against insolvent bank held not entitled to allowance of full claim,
both as secured and general creditor.
(TL S. C. C. A. 1928.) One entitled to have claim against insolvent bank
impressed as trust on funds in hand of receiver, held not entitled to allowance of claim for full amount, both as a secured and as a general creditor.
(Ib.)

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
Courts—Whether proceeds of checks collected by insolvent bank constitute trust
fund, entitling depositor to preference, must be determined by general commercial
law, as defined by Federal courts.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Whether insolvent bank's collection of checks created
fiduciary relation of principal and agent between it and one depositing
them in forwarding bank, so as to constitute proceeds a trust fund, entitling
depositor to preference, must be determined by principles of general commercial law, as defined by Federal courts, independent of State law.
(Dickson v. First National Bank of Buffalo, Okla., 26 Fed. Rep., 2d series,
411.)
Deposit of check with bank and entry of credit therefor creates relationship of debtor
and creditor, not principal and agent.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where the owner of a check deposits it with a bank
and receives credit therefor, the relationship of debtor and creditor, not
of principal and agent, is created, though check may be charged against
depositor's account, when dishonored by bank on which drawn. (Ib.)
Depositor of checks in forwarding bank could not treat collecting bunk as his agent,
so as to entitle him to preference on its insolvency.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) One depositing checks in bank, which forwarded them
to another bank for collection, could not treat latter bank as his agent in
handling them, so as to be entitled to preference of claim to proceeds on
its insolvency; such bank being agent of forwarding bank. (Ib.)
Depositor of checks, entire proceeds of which were applied on collecting bank's
indebtedness to drawee bank and Federal reserve bank, held not entitled to preference on collecting bank's insolvency.
(U. S. C C. A. 1928.) Where accounts of collecting and drawee banks
were adjusted, and draft for balance given former when checks were
presented for collection, such draft was forwarded to, and deposited to
collecting bank's credit by, Federal reserve bank, which applied collecting
bank's entire balance on its indebtedness to reserve bank, owner depositing
checks in bank whick forwarded them to collecting bank was not entitled
to preference of claim to proceeds on latter's insolvency, as transaction
did not increase its assets available for distribution to creditors, but
merely decreased its indebtedness to reserve bank. (Ib.)
To establish preference, trust funds must be traced into insolvent bank's assets.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) To establish a preference, trust funds must be traced
into the assets of the insolvent bank. (Ib.)
Drawer held not entitled to preference, on theory of trust relationship, where drafts
were paid by checks on collecting bank, which became insolvent.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Drawer of drafts, which were paid by drawees by
checks drawn on bank to which drafts had been sent for collection, held,
not entitled to preference on failure of bank, on theory of trust relationship; there having been no increase in the bank's funds. (Rorebeck v.
Benedict Flour & Feed Co.; Benedict Flour & Feed Co. i>. Rorebeck, 26
Fed. Rep., 2d series, 440.)
Drawer held not entitled to preference, where draft ivas paid by check, which insolvent
collecting bank used in exchange of checks with another bank.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where draft sent to collecting bank was paid by
drawee by check on another bank, which check was used in exchange of
checks between collecting bank and such other bank, held that drawer was
not entitled to preference on insolvency of collecting bank, since its funds
were not augmented by payment of the draft. (Ib.)
Owner of draft sent bank for collection, bank's check not being paid, was entitled to
proceeds of collection, if traceable into receiver's hands.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Owner of draft sent bank for collection and prompt
remittance, there being nothing in contract between parties authorizing
collecting bank to appropriate proceeds of collection and make itself mere
debtor, or to send its check in settlement, when its check was not paid,
was entitled to proceeds of collection, if they could be traced into funds
which came into hands of reoeiver. (Ellerbe et al. v. Studebaker Corporation of America, 21 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 993.)
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
165
Proceeds of draft collected by insolvent hank were held in trust for owner.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Where bank to which drawer forwarded draft for
collection was insolvent at time it made collection, proceeds of collection
were held in trust for drawer, and could be collected from receiver after
they had come into his possession, since insolvency of collecting bank
terminates its authority to proceed further. (Ib.)
Owner of draft collected by insolvent bank can not have trust declared on assets in
receiver's hands, unless he traces proceeds into receiver's hands, or shows assets
were augmented.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Owner of draft collected by insolvent bank is not
entitled to have trusts declared on assets in hands of its receiver, or to
preferential payment therefrom, unless he is able to trace proceeds of
collection into hands of receiver, or to show that assets which have come
into his hands have been directly augmented as a result thereof. (Ib.)
Equity—Equity regards substance, and not form.
(XL S. C. C. A. 1927.) Equity regards substance, and not form. (Ib.)
Where drawee paid draft by check on collecting bank, and deposited checks on outside
banks to cover same, assets passing into receiver's hands were augmented, entitling
drawer to preference.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Where drawee of draft for $2,899.77 paid same by
check on collecting bank, and at same time made deposits, including checks
on out of town banks, which brought $2,471 into receiver's hands, to meet
draft, assets coming into receiver's hands were directly augmented by
proceeds of draft, entitling drawer to preference, and right of drawer to
funds realized from checks on other banks could not be defeated, merely
because drawee deposited checks to its credit, and gave check against
credit, instead of indorsing them over in payment of draft. (Ib.)
Assets coming into receiver's hands held augmented by drawee's check for draft,
entitling drawer thereof to preference.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Where, if check on collecting bank given by drawee
in payment of draft had not been given, drawee, as depositor, would have
set-off against receiver on note due bank for amount of its deposit, which
would have been increased by amount of check given for draft, assets
coming into receiver's hands were augmented by amount of check given
for draft, entitling drawer of draft to preference. (Ib.)
Trusts—Where fraudulent depositary mingles goods obtained by fraud with his own,
whole is held in trust.
(U. S. G. C. A. 1927.) Where fraudulent depositary so mingles goods obtained by fraud with mass of like goods of his own, whole may be considered
as held in trust until equitable separation of property of defrauded party
is made, and where money thus obtained has gone to swell aggregate in
possession of fraudulent party, it may under proper proceedings be segregated in amount from such aggregate sum and made subject of trust.
(Ib.)
Proceeds of collection of draft held traced into funds in receiver's hands derived from
collection of note due from drawee to bank, and drawer was entitled to preference.
(U. S. C. C.( A. 1927.) Where it was shown that bank receiver relied on
check given by drawee on bank in payment of claimant's draft to reduce
deposit account, which was valid set-off to note due from drawee to bank,
and was thereby enabled to collect on note $2,899.77, amount of draft,
more than he would have been able to collect otherwise, proceeds of
collection of draft held traced into funds derived by receiver from collection
of note, so that claimant was entitled to preferential payment. (Ib.)
Note pledged by bank, when redeemed by receiver, became subject to set-off to extent
of deposit standing to credit of maker.
(XL S. C. C. A. 1927.) Where note given bank was pledged as collateral
security by bank, when note was redeemed by receiver, it became subject
in his hands to set-off to extent of deposit standing to credit of maker on
books of bank, just as though it had never been pledged. (Ib.)

Rule that rights of parties become fixed when bank closes means that debtor can not
set off claim after insolvency against debt contracted before.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Rule that rights of parties become fixed when bank
closes its doors means that debtor of bank can not set off claim acquired
after insolvency against debt contracted before, and does not mean that
he can not set off deposit against note owned by bank and collected by
its receiver, merely because at time of bank's failure note was held by
another bank, to which it had been pledged as collateral. (Ib.)
Bank, forwarding checks for collection, had no preferred claim on collecting bank's
insolvency, where proceeds were used in clearances to pay debts of collecting bank.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Bank, forwarding to another batik for collection and
return checks drawn on third bank, held not entitled to preferred claim on
insolvency of collecting bank, where proceeds of checks were used in payment of debts of collecting bank, adjusting difference in clearance, and no
funds came into receiver's hands as result of transaction. (Burnes Nat.
Bank of St. Joseph, Mo., v. Spurway, 28 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 40.)
Bank, forwarding checks to drawee bank, which debited drawers^ accounts, held not
entitled to preference on drawee bank's insolvency.
(IT. S. D. C. 1928.) Bank, forwarding checks to drawee bank for payment,
was not entitled to preference therefor, on drawee bank's insolvency, by
fact that bank was credited on its books, and drawers charged, with amount
of checks, since no funds passed into estate of insolvent bank as a result
of the transaction. (Ib.)
Sum deposited is not trust fund, merely because traceable into balance of assets over
liabilities.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Sum claimed by depositor on bank's insolvency may not
be recovered as a trust fund merely because it can be traced into general
balance of assets over liabilities of insolvent bank. (Ib.)
That drawer of check sent to drawee bank for collection paid to receiver overdraft
resulting from subsequent transactions did not create trust fund in connection with
check.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Bank, forwarding check to drawee bank for collection,
was not entitled to preference on drawee bank's insolvency, because of
receiver's collection of overdraft from drawer, where drawer's account
was sufficient to meet checks at time they were charged, and overdraft
wxas in connection with subsequent transactions, since check did not increase funds in receiver's hands. (Ib.)
Where bank holding draft for collecting accepted drawee's check, charging drawee's
account, drawee of draft was mere general creditor as to proceeds of check.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Where bank received sight draft for collection, with bill
of lading, and took drawee's check in payment of the draft, charging the
drawee's account, drawer of draft occupied position of mere general
creditor as to proceeds of check, and had no right to priority on bank's
insolvency. . (Steele Briggs Seed Co. (Ltd.) v. Spurway, 28 Fed. Rep.,
2d series, 42.)
Failure of bank holding draft for collection to debit drawee's account on taking his
check did not increase cash assets in receiver's hands, giving drawer priority.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Fact that bank holding draft for collection failed to
debit drawee's account on taking drawee's check did not have effect of
augmenting assets of bank coming into receiver's hands, so as to entitle
drawer of draft to priority, since failure to debit account was merely
matter of bookkeeping. (Ib.)
Assignments—Draft is not an assignment of funds until accepted by drawee.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Draft, until accepted by drawee, does not constitute an
assignment of funds. (Ib.)

TRUST FUND MISAPPLIED BY INSOLVENT BANK TO REDUCE LIEN ON ITS OWN
PROPERTY
Trust fund misapplied by insolvent national bank to reduce lien on its own property
gave rise to preferred claim.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Complainant went to pay two notes which he owed
to a national bank, taking a check in his favor for a larger amount, which
he delivered to the bank. The bank had rediscounted his notes and did
not then have them in its possession, but gave him a receipt for their payment and a cashier's check for the balance due him. It sent the check to a
correspondent, to which it owed a large overdraft, for collection and credit,
and it was so applied. The bank was closed the next day and its receiver
paid the balance of the overdraft, receiving back collateral to a much
larger amount. Held, that the bank took complainant's money as his
agent in trust for payment of his notes, which trust it violated by diverting
the money to its own use; that the trust fund went into the collateral
notes redeemed by the receiver by reducing the overdraft which he was
required to pay, and that complainant was entitled to its allowance as
a preferred claim against the receivership assets. (Bartholf v. Millett, 22
Fed. Rep., 2d series, 538.)
CLAIM TO PREFERENCE IN CONNECTION WITH SALE AND DISCOUNT OF NOTES
Frauds, statute of—Alleged oral contract for sale and discount of notes of aggregate

(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Under Compiled Statutes, Oklahoma, 1921, section
5034, paragraph 4, alleged oral contract for sale and discount of notes of
aggregate value of $10,000 held void, where no part of notes were delivered
and no part of consideration for sale and discount of notes was paid.
(Barnsdall State Bank v. Dykes, 26 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 696.)
Equity—Frauds, statute of—Where bill shows on face that contract sued on is within
Statute of Frauds, defect may be taken advantage of by demurrer or motion to
dismiss. (Comp. St. Okl. 1921, § 5034, par. 4.)
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Where it clearly appears on face of bill that contract
sued on is within Statute of Frauds (Comp. St. Okl. 1921, § 5034, par. 4),
and nothing is alleged removing contract from operation of statute, defect
may be taken advantage of by demurrer or motion to dismiss. (Ib.)
Frauds, statute of—Payment of checks drawn on bank constituted no payment on
part of consideration taking oral contract to sell and discount notes out of statute.
(Statutes of Frauds, Comp. St. Okl. 1921, §§ 5034, par. 4, 7859.)
(U. S. D. C, 1928.) Payment by complainant of checks drawn on bank constituted no payment of any part of alleged consideration to bank making
alleged oral contract for sale and discount of notes valued at $10,000,
and such payment did not take transaction out of operation of Statute of
Frauds (Comp. St. Okl. 1921, § 5034, par. 4), since bank received nothing
and its assets were not increased by transaction; check not of itself operating as assignment under section 7859. (Ib.)

equity will not exercise its power to require that to be done which parties

to injury of third parties. (Ib.)

DEPOSIT OF PUBLIC FUNDS
On insolvency of national bank, secured creditor may receive dividends on claim,
without credvting security or collections made therefrom.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) In distribution of assets of insolvent national bank,
secured creditor may prove and receive dividends on face of claim, at
time of declaration of insolvency, without crediting either security or
collections made therefrom after such declaration, subject always to
proviso that dividends must cease when claim has been paid in full.
(American Surety Co. of New York v. De Carle County Treasurer, et aL,
25 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 18.)
In distributing assets of insolvent national bank, dividends must be paid to all creditors ratably, apportioned according to claims.
(XL S. C. C. A. 1928.) In distributing assets of insolvent national bank,
dividends must be paid to all creditors ratably, payments must be made
according to some uniform rule, and claims against bank must necessarily
be made basis of apportionment. (Ib.)
Principal and surety—Execution of contract of suretyship raises implied contract
that principal will indemnify surety for payments to creditor.
(XL S. C. C. A. 1928.) When contract of suretyship is entered into, there

will indemnify surety for payments made to creditor in compliance with
contract of suretyship, and such implied contract arises immediately on
execution of contract of suretyship. (Ib.)
Surety indemnifying county for part of loss on national bank's insolvency held not

On proof that trust funds came into hands of receiver, bank has burden of proving
wrongful misappropriation or criminal use of funds.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where surety subrogated to rights of city and city
treasurer to recover deposit of city funds as a trust fund proved that sum
came into hands of receiver when bank suspended, burden was on bank
to prove that such trust funds or part of them were in fact wrongfully
misappropriated or criminally used, there being a presumption that trust
funds have not been so wrongfully misapplied or criminally used by
officers. (Ib.)
City treasurer will be presumed to have deposited only cash as bearing on question of
augmentation of funds.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) In suit by surety, subrogated to rights of city and
city treasurer to recover trust funds from insolvent bank, it will be presumed, in absence of proof to the contrary, that city treasurer obeyed
law and deposited nothing but cash or equivalent of cash, as bearing on
question as to whether there was augmentation of funds in bank. (Ib.)
Surety discharging liability on bond securing county deposits held entitled to participate with general creditors in future dividends to full amount of payment.
(U. S. D. C. 1927.) Where surety discharged its liability under bond securing county deposits in insolvent bank, it was entitled to have its claim
allowed by bank's receiver for full amount of its payment on bond and
to participate with general creditors in all unpaid and future dividends.

Subrogation—As respects subrogation, sureties on county treasurer's bond held not
"volunteers" in paying deficiency on insolvency of depositary on commissioner's
representations that treasurer violated duties. (Comp. St. Wyo. 1920, § 2968.)
(U. S. D. C. 1927.) Where sureties on county treasurer's official bond paid
deficiency due to county on insolvency of bank in which county funds
were deposited on county commissioner's demand therefor and representations that treasurer violated his duties in failing to have collateral put
up by bank in lieu of depositary bonds approved by county commissioners
as required by Compiled Statutes, Wyoming, 1920, section 2968, sureties
were not "volunteers" as respects their right to subrogation to rights
of county. (Ib.)

BANK ORGANIZED TO TAKE OVER ASSETS AND ASSUME LIABILITIES OF INSOLVENT
BANK
Bank, organized to take over assets of insolvent bank and assuming liabilities, with
certain exceptions, held liable on certificate within such exception.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Bank, incorporated as means of reorganization of
insolvent bank and taking over all of assets and assuming all liabilities,
with exception of certain certificates, in accordance with approval of State
court, after informal hearing on offer and without representation of holder
of certificate not assumed as liability, held liable for payment of such certificate, whether or not there was an implied promise on part of new bank
to pay obligation, since otherwise transaction constituted a fraud. (Security State Bank of Miami, Okla., v. First Natl. Bank of Kansas City, Mo.,
26 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 237.)
Judgment—Judgment in former suit on same cause of action between same parties
is conclusive regarding every question determined or determinable.

Action—Party seeking to enforce claim must present to court all possible grounds of
recovery.

first fails. (Ib.)
Judgment—Judgment on demurrer is as effective as one rendered on proof, as regards
bar of another action.
(U. S. D. C. 1927.) An estoppel by judgment grows out of matter of substance, and not of form, and a judgment on demurrer is as conclusive as
one rendered on proof, and the question as to such judgment, when pleaded
in bar of another action, will be necessarily its legal identity with such
action. (Ib.)
Judgment—Judgment on motion to dismiss for lack of equity and insufficiency of
facts pleaded is bar to second suit covering same transaction between parties.
(U. S. D. C. 1927.) Judgment on motion to dismiss, based on ground of lack

Assessment and execution against owner of bank stock under State law were not
void because made by agent for superintendent of banks.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Assessment and execution against owner of shares of
capital stock of bank pursuant to acts Georgia, 1919, page 157, article 7,

IDAHO
Bankruptcy of bank, entitling Government to priority in deposits held shown, where
bank was administered by State officer, directors and stockholders acquiescing.
(31 U. 8. C. A. § 191.)
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) In suit by the United States to recover deposit by postmaster of postal funds in an insolvent bank, bankruptcy of bank was
shown where State officer was in possession administering its affairs by
virtue of affirmative action on part of governing body of institution, or
with acquiescence of board of directors and stockholders, within meaning
of Revised Statutes, section 3466. (31 U. S. C. A. § 191), entitling
United States to priority as to deposit therein; formal assignment of estate
of bank to State officer authorized to liquidate insolvent banking institutions being unnecessary. (United States, ex rel. Ray, U. S. Atty., v. Ray,
Commissioner of Finance of Idaho, 24 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 709.)
Postal funds deposited by postmaster in State bank held udebts due United States,"
within priority statute. (31 U. S. C. A., §§ 191, 192; 39 U. S. C. A., §§ 46-48.)
(U. S. D. C. 1927.) Moneys derived from post-office business, deposited
by postmaster in State bank, though deposited at his own risk under
Revised Statutes, sections 3847, 3848 (39 U. S. C. A., §§ 47, 48), and
unpaid draft purchased by postmaster with such funds, held in view of
section 3846 (39 U. S. C. A., § 46), "debts due the United States," within
sections 3466, 3467 (31 U. S. C. A., §§ 191, 192), giving priority to debts
due United States in case of insolvency. (United States, ex rel. Ray,
U. S. Atty., v. Porter Commissioner of Finance of Idaho, 24 Fed. Rep.,
2d series, 139.)
Closing of bank and taking over
control by State officer held voluntary assignment
for benefit of creditors, and uact of bankruptcy" within priority statute. (31
U. S. C. A.,%191.)
(U. S. D. C. 1927.) Where president and cashier of State bank, in which
moneys of United States were deposited, closed bank and allowed State
officer to take immediate charge, held that it constituted a voluntary
assignment for benefit of creditors, and hence there was committed an
act of bankruptcy, within meaning of Revised Statutes, section 3466
(31 U. S. C. A., § 191), thus making State officer trustee for United States,
and giving United States priority. (Ib.)
172
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
United States—Statute giving debts due United States priority must be liberally
construed. (31 U. S. C. A., § 191.)
(U. S. D. C. 1927.) Revised Statutes, section 3466 (31 U. S. C. A., § 191),
giving debts due United States priority in cases of insolvency, must be
liberally construed. (Ib.)
Right of United States to priority of its debts in case of insolvency can not be governed
by State laws. (31 U. S. C. A., § 191.)
(U. S. D. C. 1927.) That assets of State bank, in which postal funds were
deposited, are being administered by commissioner under State law, does
not affect right of United States to priority, under Revised Statutes,
section 3466 (31 U. S. C. A., § 191), nor would United States, in asserting
its rights, be governed by State law or State courts. (Ib.)
Closing
of bank by majority of directors and liquidation by State officer held an
u
act of bankruptcy,}) within priority statute. (31 U. S. C. A., sec. 191.)
(U. S. D. C. 1927.) Where State bank, containing deposits of United States
money, was closed by majority of board of directors and taken over by
State officer for liquidation, held that it made a voluntary assignment
for benefit of creditors, and thereby committed an act of bankruptcy,
within meaning of Revised Statutes, section 3466 (31 U. S. C. A., sec. 191),
giving priority to debts due United States in cases of insolvency. (Ib.)
United States, having priority in State bank's funds, is entitled to injunction preventing State officer, liquidating bank from making any payments until United
States is paid. (31 U. S. C. A., sec. 191.)
(U. S. D. C. 1927.) Where State officer, in charge of insolvent bank having
deposits of United States money, to which United States has priority
under Revised Statutes, section 3466 (31 U. S. C. A., sec. 191), paid other
creditors in preference to United States, latter is entitled to injunction
against further payments, and a personal judgment against State officer,
if funds are insufficient to satisfy claim of United States. (Ib.)
NEW HAMPSHIRE
State bank commissioner, winding up affairs of insolvent bank, acts as officer of
court. (Pub. Laws, N. H., 1926, c. 268.)
(U. S. C. C A. 1928.) State bank commissioner, in winding up affairs
of insolvent bank, under Public Laws, New Hampshire, 1926, chapter
268, does not act merely in an executive or administrative capacity, but
as an officer of the court in the nature of a receiver. (People's Trust
Co. et al. v. United States, 23 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 381.)
Courts—Pendency of proceeding in rem in State court bars suit in Federal district
court involving same subject matter, though United States is party.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Federal district court has no jurisdiction to entertain bill to which United States is party, where prior suit involving
same subject matter is pending in State court, provided State court proceeding is in rem, or involves exercise of discretion or control over fund in
custody of commissioner, since exercise by another court of jurisdiction
over same res may defeat jurisdiction of court in which original action was
brought. (Ib.)
Courts—Stale court proceedings for liquidation of insolvent bank, and intervention
of United States therein to establish claim, held in rem, precluding subsequent
exercise of jurisdiction by Federal court in suit to establish priority. (Pub. Laws,
N. H., 1926, c. 268, sees. 13-15; 31 U. S. C. A., sec. 191.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Equity proceeding, instituted against insolvent
bank by commissioners relating to its liquidation, under Public Laws,
New Hampshire, 1926, chapter 268, and intervention therein by United
States, looking to proof of claim under section 13, held proceeding in rem,
which deprived Federal court of jurisdiction in subsequent action in equity
bought by United States, under Revised Statutes, section 3466 (31 U. S.
C. A., sec. 191), to adjudicate priority of claim, after priority had been
denied in State court, notwithstanding sections 13-15 of chapter 268,
authorizing suit in nature of appeal after rejection of claim. (Ib.)
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
173
State statute authorizing suit by creditor of insolvent hank after rejection of claim
merely permits suit in State court in nature of appeal. (Pub. Laws, N. H.y
1926, c. 268, sec. 15.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Public Laws, New Hampshire, 1926, chapter 268,
section 15, relating to liquidation of insolvent banks in equity'proceedings by commissioners, and authorizing suit on rejected claims within
six months, held to authorize proceedings in State court only in nature of
appeal, and not to permit commencement of suit in Federal district court,
in view of sections 13, 14. (Ib.)
Determination of priority of claims against insolvent bank is for superior court.
(Pub. Laws, N. H., 1926, c. 268, sec. 19.)
(U. S, C. C. A. 1928.) The bank commissioner has authority to allow
or reject a claim and report the same to superior court in proceedings for
liquidation of insolvent bank, under Public Laws, New Hampshire, 1926,
chapter 268, sections 13, 14, but no authority to pass on its priority;
questions of priority or order of payment are for determination of superior
court, on distribution under section 19. (Ib.)
State statute relative to distribution of assets of insolvent banks does not determine
order of claim given priority under Federal law. (Pub. Laws, N. II., 1926, c. 268,
sec. 29.)
(TJ. S. C. C. A. 1928,) Public Laws, New Hampshire, 1926, chapter 268,
section 29, relative to order of distribution of claims against insolvent
bank, does not determine order of distribution of claims, where claim is
given priority under Federal law, since Federal law is supreme. (Ib.)
Distribution of assets of insolvent bank is determined in connection with statute
governing distribution of property of insolvent persons. (Pub. Laws, N. II., 1926,
c. 268, sec. 29; c. 401, sec. 31.)
(U. S. G. C. A. 1928.) Public Laws, New Hampshire, 1926, chapter 268,
section 29, relative to order of distribution of proceeds of insolvent
bank must be construed with reference to provisions of chapter 401, section 31, providing for distribution of proceeds of property of insolvent
persons. (Ib.)
Courts—// United States asserts claim against insolvent bank under State and
Federal statutes, granting priority, it may have question reviewed by United Stales
Supreme Court (31 U. S. C.A., sec. 191; Pub. Laws,N. H., 1926, c. 401, sec. 31.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) If United States asserts its right to priority of
claim against insolvent bank under Revised Statutes, section 3466 (31
U. S. C. A., sec. 191), and Public Laws, New Hampshire, 1926, chapter 401,
section 31, giving debts of United States priority, question may be reviewed
by the State supreme court, and ultimately by Supreme Court of United
States, on ground of Federal question, in case of denial of priority by State
courts. (Ib.)

Where guaranty fund is not involved, State is not preferred creditor of insolvent bank,
but all creditors participate ratably. (Comp. St. Okl. 1921, §§ 4165-4167, 4175.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Under Compiled Statutes, Oklahoma, 1921, sections
4165-4167, 4175, providing for winding up insolvent banks by State bank
commissioner and for a lien on bank's assets for benefit of bank depositors'
guaranty fund for payments therefrom, where guaranty fund is depleted
and no payments have been made, or will be made, therefrom to pay
unsecured depositors, State has no lien for benefit of such fund against
the assets of bank involved and is not a preferred creditor, but all creditors

Insolvent banks, surrendering assets to bank commissioner, made assignment and
committed bankruptcy, within statute giving priority to claims of United States.
(Comp. St. Okl. 1921, §§ 4128, 4133; 31 U. S. C. A. §§ 191, 193; bankr. act,

(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Banks which were insolvent, in that their assets
were less than their liabilities, and which voluntarily at informal directors'
meeting surrendered their assets to State bank commissioner for liquidation, under Compiled Statutes, Oklahoma, 1921, sections 4128, 4133,
thereby made a voluntary assignment of their property within Revised
Statutes, United States, section 3466 (31 U. S. C. A. § 191), and committed
an act of bankruptcy, within bankruptcy act, section 3a (4), as amended
by act February 5, 1903, section 2 (11 XL S. C. A. § 21), and claims of
United States on its deposits had priority under Revised Statutes, sections
3466, 3468 (31 U. S. C. A. §§ 191, 193), to which surety on depository
bonds was subrogated on payment of claims. (Ib.)
Bank organized under Oklahoma laws has all powers of ordinary corporation, except

Bank commissioner held not entitled to avoid as ultra vires insolvent banks9 pledge of
securities to indemnify surety on depository bonds under fully executed contracts.
(Comp. St. Okl. 1921, %%4114, 5161, 5727, S606.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Where insolvent banks received benefit of depository
bonds of surety company, with which they had pledged securities to indemnify it against loss on such bonds, held that, under Compiled Statutes,
Oklahoma, 1921, sections 4114, 5161, 5727, 8606, State bank commissioner
in charge of liquidation could not avoid contracts of pledge on ground
they were ultra vires, since securities pledged were held by surety in trust
for obligees, and in view of fact that securities could have been pledged
directly to the State or municipality for public deposit, and that surety
in such case would have been subrogated thereto. (Ib.)
Surety on depository bonds held entitled to 6 per cent interest on deferred payments
on claims respecting which it was entitled to ratable participation with unsecured

INSURANCE
Insurance—Evidence held to show that incorporated society was not suable on insurance binder as treasurer of unincorporated underwriting syndicates.
(U. S. D. C. 1927.) Evidence held to show that incorporated society,
known as Lloyd's, was not suable on insurance binder as treasurer of
unincorporated underwriting syndicates, under General Associations
Law, New York, (Bobe v. Lloyd's et al., 27 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 340.)
INTEREST AND USURY
Usury—Under New York law, corporation borrovjing money may lawfully agree to
pay 1% per cent per month as commission, in addition to 6 per cent annual
interest.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) There is nothing to prevent corporation borrowing
money from making agreement to pay 6 per cent annual interest on loan
and additional sum of 1J^ per cent per month as so-called commission,
since New York statute provides that no corporation shall interpose
defense of usury. (In re International Raw Material Corporation.
Appeal of Wormser & Co., 22 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 920.)
Usury—Under New York law neither corporation, those succeeding to its rights
nor sureties may object to agreement for borrowing money because of usury.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Neither corporation, nor those who may succeed to
its rights, nor its sureties may be heard to object to bargain for borrowing
of money because of usury, since New York statute provides that no
corporation shall interpose such defense, and such statute in effect repeals
usury clause, so far as corporation's contracts are concerned. (Ib.)
Bankruptcy—Corporate contracts to pay excessive interest should not be disturbed,
in absence of fraud or duress, by bankruptcy court having custody of collateral
security.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Corporate contracts to pay more than statutory
rate of interest should be left to agreement of parties, and not disturbed,
in absence of fraud or duress, by court of bankruptcy having custody of
fund which is collateral security for performance of agreement. (Ib.)
Borrower's agreement to pay legal expenses incurred by bank in enforcing lien against
collateral security held legal.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Agreement by borrower to pay legal expenses
incurred by bank in enforcing lien against collateral security or in obtaining advice as to its enforcement held not illegal. (Ib.)
Evidence—Where agreement for loan provided for u additional commissions,17
parol evidence held admissible to prove rate of such commissions.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Where contract for loan of money made provision

understandings in writing. (Ib.)
Bankruptcy—Where creditor was without knowledge of insolvency, agreement that
collateral should be security for amount advanced, with interest, held not forbidden.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Agreement, in contract for loan, that collateral

were executed there, and such evidence may be overcome by parol proof.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Place at which notes are dated, while affording prima
facie evidence that notes were executed there, is not conclusive, and such

Limitation of actions—Notes executed and delivered to Arizona agent of Massachusetts bank, accepting bale receipts for cotton given as collateral, and giving
immediate cash or credit through drafts paid in Massachusetts, were executed in
Arizona as regards limitation. (Laws Ariz. 1917, c. 76, § 2, amending Civ.
Code 1913, par. 714; Civ. Code 1913, par. 713 (3).)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where Massachusetts bank, through its agent in
Arizona, offered to loan money on cotton, and maker of note indorsed and
delivered bale receipts and executed notes in Arizona, drawing drafts on
Massachusetts bank, which notes and drafts were approved by the agent,
maker receiving immediate cash or credit, notes were executed in Arizona,
and not in Massachusetts, though drafts were paid in Boston and the notes
were dated there, and therefore Laws of Arizona, 1917, chapter 76, section
2, amending Civil Code, 1913, paragraph 714, providing six-year limitation
period for contracts in writing executed within Arizona, was applicable,
and not paragraph 713 (3), Civil Code, 1913, limiting suits on foreign
contracts to four years. (Ib.)
Bills and notes—Place of payment named in note, or place where money is advanced,
does not necessarily determine place of note's execution.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Naming of place of payment of note does not determine place of execution, and advance of money to the maker is not an
essential part of the execution of the obligation, in determining where
execution took place. (Ib.)
Limitation of actions—Where notes covering freight on cotton pledged were signed
and delivered to Massachusetts bank's Arizona agent, under agreement that payee
should fill in amount of freight, notes were executed in Arizona, as regards limitation.
(Laws Ariz. 1917, c. 76, '§ 2, amending Civ. Code 1913, par. 714; Civ. Code
1913, par. 713 (3).)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where notes given Massachusetts bank for payment
of freight of cotton pledged as collateral security were executed in blank,
under agreement that the payee should fill in the amount of freight which
was to be advanced by the bank in Massachusetts, notes must be treated
as executed at time they were signed and delivered to agents in Arizona,
and were executed there as regards determination of applicable statute of
limitations, under Laws of Arizona, 1917, chapter 76, section 2, amending
Civil Code 1913, paragraph 714, Civil Code 1913, paragraph 713 (3). (Ib.)

on collateral security in another State without violation of Federal banking
laws. (12 U. S. C. A., §§ 372, 373.) (Ib.)
National bank held authorized to purchase commercial paper and sue thereon as
assignee. (12 U. S. C. A., sec. 24.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) National bank may purchase commercial paper, and
sue on paper so purchased, under Revised Statutes, section 5136 (12 U. S.
C. A., §24), giving national banks authority to loan money and exercise
incidental power necessary to carry on business of banking, by discounting

National bank organized in another State held not ilforeign corporation," within
requirements that foreign corporation secure permit to do business; "foreign
country." (Const. Ariz., art. 14, §§ 5, 17; Civ. Code 1913, Ariz., pars.

Purchaser of note was chargeable with notice of fraud about which maker knew
nothing.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) An experienced banker, purchasing a note with full
knowledge of the transaction by which it was obtained and of the fact
that the person who obtained it was untrustworthy, was chargeable with
notice of fraud about which the maker knew nothing. (Mutual Inv. Co. v.
Shull, 28 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 830.)
Purchaser having actual notice or willfully disregarding facts available impeaching
note's validity, and acting in bad faith, can not recover.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) While purchaser of note for value before maturity
owes maker no duty of making active inquiry into its origin or consideration, if he had actual notice of facts, or willfully disregarded facts available,
that impeached its validity, and acted in bad faith, he can not recover.
(Ib.)
Appeal and, error—Bad faith of purchaser of note on evidence raising issue is question for jury, with whose decision appellate court can not interfere.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) There being evidence making an issue on the question

(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Finding that in purchase of notes purchaser acted
in bad faith held justified by the evidence. (Ib.)
Bills and notes—Purchaser of notes with knowledge of condition of payment in contract under which they were given can not recover thereon, condition not being
satisfied.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Purchaser of notes which he got payee to have executed by maker in substitution for originals, which by terms of contract
of sale of land under which they were given, and of which he had knowledge,
were not unconditional promises to pay, but were dependent on consummation of the contract by seller and payee reselling the land at a profit for
the maker, could not recover on them; such condition not having been
satisfied. (Ib.-)
Appeal and error—Sufficiency of agreed facts to support judgment is reviewable,
though neither finding nor declaration of law is requested.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) When case is tried upon agreed stipulation of facts,
sufficiency of facts to support the judgment is open to review on writ of
error, though no finding or declaration of law was requested. (Kirkman

Frauds, statute of—Oral agreement, whereby bills receivable were transferred and
credit given transferor bank with understanding that transferee bank should return
bills for credit at maturity, held valid.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Oral agreement, whereby one bank turned over to
another certain bills receivable, for which it was to receive credit for the
face amount of the bills, and under which the transferee bank was to
receive 6 per cent interest while it carried the bills, returning them for
credit of face amount plus interest in case of any objection to the paper
and on maturity, held valid, since transferor bank received direct and
substantial benefits. (Ib.)
Transferee bank's return of notes transferred under agreement, entitling transferee to
credit on returning them on maturity, created debt in transferee's favor.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Under agreement, whereby bills receivable were
transferred from one bank to another and credit given transferor with
understanding that the bills should be returned on maturity and that
original transferee bank " would then be entitled to credit for the amount
of the same plus 6 per cent interest," transferee's bank return of notes
transferred to it pursuant to the agreement created debtor and creditor relation in its favor to the face amount of the paper plus 6 per cent
interest. (Ib.)

Novation—Original creditor must release original debtor to constitute "novation."
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) One of the indispensable requisites of a "novation"
is that the original creditor shall release the original debtor. (Ib.)
Novation—Acceptance by transferor bank of renewal note payable to transferee of
original note did not alone discharge transferor from liability to transferee on
original note.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where payee bank transferred note and on its
retransfer on maturity became liable for face value thereof to transferee
bank, its liability was not discharged by its acceptance of new note payable
to transferee bank, where it was not shown that the transferee bank
intended to discharge its transferor. (Ib.)
Novation—Transferor bank accepting renewal note had burden to prove novation,
releasing it from liability to transferee of original note.
(U. S. C C. A. 1928.) Transferor bank, which on retransfer to it of note
at maturity became liable for amount thereof to its transferee, had burden
to prove that its acceptance of renewal note constituted novation, relieving it from liability to its transferee on the original note. (Ib.)
Novation—Liability of transferor bank on note returned from transferee bank under
agreement for carrying notes held not discharged by taking renewal note transferred
under same agreement.
(U. S. G. C. A. 1928.) Where bank, under agreement for transfer of its bills
receivable and for their return at maturity, procured renewal note which
it sent to transferee bank after return of original note at maturity, under
which transferor bank became liable to transferee for face of the old note,
the obligation of the transferor bank on the old note was not discharged,
since the renewal note was transferred under the same agreement and
transferee's acceptance thereof did not indicate intent to release the
transferor. (Ib.)
Court properly found under evidence that renewal note procured by transferor bank
was governed by oral agreement for transfer of notes under which transferee received
credit on returning them at maturity.
(U. S. C C. A. 1928.) W n e r e bank transferred note under agreement for
its return at maturity, giving transferee credit, and after the return of the
original note took a renewal note payable to the transferee bank which
was also transferred, and where transferee bank returned the renewal note,
demanding credit for face amount with 6 per cent interest under the
agreement, and not for 7 per cent, which the note bore, and transferor
bank kept renewal note without denying liability, court properly found
that the renewal note was governed by the provisions of the oral agreement between the banks under which the transferor bank was to pay the
amount of notes and interest on their return at maturity. (Ib.)
Transferee bank, entitled to credit on returning notes to transferor, could set off debt
against collection items.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where bank to which notes were transferred became
entitled on their return to credit from transferor bank, transferee was
entitled to make set-off of the amount against collection items due transferor. (Ib.)
Appeal and error—Defenses argued for first time on appeal will not be considered.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Defenses, not presented to the trial court, but argued

Bills and notes—Under general law, indorsement is necessary to maintain negotiability and to transfer free from equities.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Under the general law of negotiable instruments,
indorsement is necessary to maintain negotiability and to transfer free
from equities-, although under Kansas Negotiable Instruments Law (Gen.
St, 1915, sec. 6553), a holder might possibly be one for value where there
had been nothing more than the delivery of the note. (Ib.)
Bills and notes—Indorsement is presumed to have been made before maturity, when
note is in hands of third party.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) When a negotiable promissory note is in the hands
of a third party, the presumption will apply that indorsement was made
before maturity. (Ib.)
Bills and notes—Evidence held to show that bank from whom plaintiff indorsee took
note back on suing accommodation indorser was bona fide holder for value.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) In action on note by indorsee, which had taken it
back from bank against accommodation indorser, evidence held to show
that bank acquired note in due course before maturity for value, and was
a bona fide holder, unaffected by any infirmity in it entitling bank, even
after note was overdue and dishonored, to transfer as good a title as it
held. (Ib.)
Bills and notes—One taking negotiable note from bona fide holder occupies same
position as transferor, notwithstanding actual notice of defenses.
(U. S. C. C. A, 1928.) Though generally indorsement of negotiable paper
after maturity transfers legal title subject to all defenses of which overdue
character of paper gives notice, an exception thereto exists where holder
takes from the bona fide holder, in which case he occupies same position
as his transferor, notwithstanding subsequent holder has actual notice of
defenses, was a purchaser after maturity, or is not a purchaser for value.
(Ib.)
Bills and notes—One taking note from bona fide holder for value before maturity
may recover of accommodation indorser, though knowing of accommodation indorsement.

1915, sections 6553, 6556, 6585, indorsee had all rights of bank in respect

Money deposited in general deposit becomes property of bank, which becomes
depositor's debtor for amount thereof.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) When money is deposited with a bank on general
deposit, it ceases to be funds of depositor, and becomes property of bank,
and the bank thereupon becomes a mere debtor of depositor for amount of
deposit. (Cory Mann George Corporation et al v. Old et al., 23 Fed. Rep.
2d series, 803.)

Depositors' right to recover for directors' negligence depended
on their ability to show
loss was due to bank's losses occurring through directors3 negligence,
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Rights of depositors were not affected by wrongful
charging to their accounts of the personal checks of depositors' local
manager, and wrongful crediting to manager's personal account of checks
which should have been credited to depositors" account, consummated by
collusion between depositors' local manager and bank's cashier and
bookkeeper, but such transactions merely concealed the wrongful diversion
of the funds of the bank, and depositors' right to recover on account of
the negligence of bank's directors in supervising bank depended on depositors ' ability to show that their loss as depositors was due to the losses of
the bank, and that these occurred through directors' negligence. (Ib.)
As respects deposits, bank directors are bank's agents, bound to use care which
ordinarily prudent persons would exercise under similar circumstances.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) As respects deposits, bank directors are not insurers
or technical trustees, but they are agents of the banking corporation,
charged with the supervision of its business, and as such bound to use
that degree of care which ordinarily prudent and diligent men would
exercise under similar circumstances. (Ib.)
Bank directors held not liable for failing to discover fraudulent collusion between
depositors' local manager and bank cashier.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where complainant depositors' local manager,
through collusion with cashier and bookkeeper of bank, defrauded complainants by wrongfully charging manager's personal checks to complainants
deposit, and by crediting his personal account with checks payable to
complainants, directors of bank, held not personally liable for the losses,
on ground of negligence in supervision, because they did not call in customers' passbooks and have them checked with bank's books. (Ib.)
Bank directors are not liable for failure to adopt unusual precautions to discover
employee's fraud.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Bank directors should not be held negligent and
chargeable with damages for failure to adopt exceptional methods to
discover bank employee's fraud, or because they relied on cashier's
supervision over books and accounts, and reposed confidence in his
reports. (Ib.)
Transfer of bank's assets, under contract requiring transferee banks to pay in full
claims of depositors shown by bank's books, held in effect an assignment for
benefit of creditors.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where assets of bank sought to be liquidated were
transferred to other banks under a contract requiring transferee banks to
pay in full the claims of depositors are shown by books of bank transaction was in effect an assignment for benefit of creditors. (Ib.)
Assignments for benefit of creditors—Validity of preferences under assignment for
creditors is governed by law of State where parties reside and subject matter is
located.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where the parties to an assignment for benefit of
creditors reside, and the property"which is the subject mutter thereof is
located within the State where the assignment is made, the validity of
preferences thereunder is governed by the law of that State. (Ib.)
Corporations—In Virginia, prior to 1924, it was permissible for insolvent corporation
to prefer a creditor. (Code Va. 1924,, %%88109 5278b~5278d.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Under the law of Virginia prior to the enactment
of Code, Virginia, 1924, sections 5278b-5278d, it was permissible to prefer
creditors, even where the preference was given by an insolvent corporation, and this rule was not affected by section 3810, preventing extinguishment of corporation debts by dissolution. (Ib.)
Directors of liquidating bank held not liable for unintended preference to depositors
paid in full over depositors claiming loss through fraudulent collusion of bank
employees and depositors' employee.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where assets of apparently solvent bank were
transferred to other banks for purposes of liquidation, under contract

of liquidating bank, without any knowledge on part of liquidating bank's
officers and directors of fraud which had been perpetrated on complaining
depositors by collusion of bank's cashier and bookkeeper without complainants' local manager, which made bank insolvent, and without intending any preference, held that directors were not liable in damages for the
unintended preference resulting; complainants' remedy being to file a
bill to surcharge and falsify their accounts as they appeared on books of
bank, and to subject assets in hands of transferee banks to payment of
their accounts as so corrected ratably with other depositors. (Ib.)
Depositors not asserting claims for loss from fraud of their local manager and bank
employees until 2}/2 months after completion of bank's liquidation held estopped
to question validity of liquidation.
(U..S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where assets of bank were transferred to other banks
for liquidation under contract requiring latter to pay in full claims of
depositors as disclosed by books of liquidating bank, depositors, sustaining
loss through fraud of their local manager, acting in collusion with bank's
cashier and bookkeeper, who stood silently by for 5 months with knowledge of the facts, and allowed contract to be carried out and assets to be
distributed, held estopped from questioning the validity of the contract
or the propriety of the distribution thereunder 2J^ months after such
distribution, in application of rule that one silent when bound to speak
will not be permitted to speak when it is his duty to be silent. (Ib.)
Bank president's liability to depositors depends on whether he would be liable for
loss of bank or its creditors.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Bank president's liability to depositors for knowingly
permitting personal checks of corporate depositors' local manager to be
charged to corporate depositors' account depends on whether president
was guilty of such negligence as would subject him to liability for the loss
sustained by the bank or its creditors. (Ib.)
Bank should not charge agent's personal checks to principal's account without principal's authorization.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) A bank has no right to charge one man's check to
the account of another without the permission of the other, and should
not charge personal checks of an agent to the account of his principal
without authorization of the principal. (Ib.)
That bank employees handled checks of corporate depositors' local manager held to
put bank on notice that he was not corporate depositor, as he represented.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) That bank employees handled checks of foreign
corporation's local manager, which were sent to foreign corporation's
office in another State, was sufficient to charge bank, as a corporation,
with notice that local manager was not the corporate depositor, as he
informed bank's president that he was. (Ib.)
Notice to banking corporation's employees was notice to corporation, but not to its
officers and directors.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Notice to the employees of a banking corporation
was notice to the corporation, but not to its officers and directors. (Ib.)
Depositor can deposit funds in a trade name and authorize individual checks to be
charged against such deposit.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) A depositor can deposit funds in a trade name as
well as in his individual name, and can authorize his individual checks to
be charged against the funds deposited in the trade name, for it is a matter
of contract between the bank and depositor as to how checks shall be
signed and against what account they shall be charged. (Ib.)
Bank president held not liable for permitting personal checks of depositor's local
manager, clothed with apparent ownership of business, to be charged to depositor's
account.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where corporate depositor's local manager, clothed
with apparent ownership of the business, informed president of bank, on
inquiry by president, that he was the company, and directed that his personal checks should be charged to corporation's deposit account, bank
president held not chargeable with negligence, so as to make him liable
for loss resulting from carrying out the direction, in absence of any knowl-

edge putting him on inquiry, notwithstanding bank cashier and bookkeeper had knowledge of facts and acted in collusion with local manager
in perpetrating the fraud. (Ib.)
Corporate depositor held estopped to assert bank president's negligence as ground for
president's liability for loss through its local manager's fraud.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where bank sent statements to local office of depositor, a foreign corporation, showing that personal checks of depositor's
local manager were charged to corporate depositors' account, and this
practice continued for many years, held that depositor was estopped by
its own negligence from seeking to recover for loss sustained from bank's
president, on ground of his negligence in permitting checks to be so
charged, since by failing to check its manager's accounts properly it
enabled him to mingle its account with his own and. to consummate fraud,
in application of maxim that, where one of two innocent persons must
suffer, he who has enabled the third person to occasion the loss must
sustain it. (Ib.)
Appeal and error—Finding of special master, approved by district eourt, will not
be disturbed on appeal, u?iless clearly wrong.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Findings of fact of special master, approved by district
court, will not be disturbed on appeal, unless such finding is clearly
wrong. (Ib.)
ACTIONS TO ENFORCE LIABILITY
Suit by receiver against directors of national bank for making illegal loans may be
maintained in equity, where there are a number of defendants.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Suit in equity may be maintained by receiver of
national bank against directors, under Revised Statutes, section 5239
(12 U. S. C. A., sec. 93), to enforce their personal liability for knowingly
making excessive loans, where there are a number of defendants. (Adams
et al. v. Clarke, 22 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 957.)
Trial—Objection to trial in equity is waived by failure to move for transfer until case
is called for hearing.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Objection to trial of cause in equity is waived by
failure to move for transfer until case is called for hearing. (Ib.)
Limitation of actions—Limitation does not begin to run against suit to charge
directors of national bank with liability for making excessive loans while they are
in control.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Limitation does not begin to run against suit to
charge directors of national bank with personal liability for making
excessive loans, so long as defendants remain in control. (Ib.)
Directors of national bank, making excessive loans, can not require receiver to apply
collections made to excess.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Where a national bank makes an excessive loan, the
participating and assenting directors at once become personally liable to
the bank for the entire amount, and can not require a receiver to apply
collections made thereon in reduction of the excess, and their exoneration
if the amount is reduced within the legal limit. (Ib.)
Courts—State statutes of limitation apply in suits to recover against directors of
national banks, in absence of limitation by Congress.
(U. S. D. C. 1927.) In suits to recover against directors of national banks,
where no limitation is prescribed by Congress, State statutes of limitations
apply. (Anderson v. Anderson et al., 23 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 331.)
Petition against directors of failed national banking association, not charging willful
violation of duty, held within State's 4-year statute of limitation. {12 U. S. C. A.9

Criminal law—No common-law crimes are cognizable in Federal courts, and conspiracy to violate Federal laws is purely statutory offense. (Criminal Code,
§ 37 [18 V. S. C. A. § 88].)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) There are no common-law crimes cognizable in
Federal courts, and conspiracy to violate laws of the United States denounced by Criminal Code, section 37 (18 U. S. C. A., § 88), is a purely
statutory offense. (Steigleder v. United States, 25 Fed. Rep., 2d series,

(XL. S. C. C. A. 1928.) The gravamen of conspiracy to violate laws of the
United States, denounced by Criminal Code, section 37 (18 U. S. C. A. § 88),
is the formation of a conspiracy or agreement to commit an offense against
the United States, coupled with the doing of any act to effect object
thereof, which need not be a successful completed substantive act or
offense. (Ib.)
Criminal law—Conviction for conspiracy to violate banking laws, based

§ 88), to violate Revised Statutes section 5209 (12 U. S. C. A. § 592), were
also charged as separate substantive offenses, held not to make conviction
thereunder objectionable as double punishment, since offenses, though
based on same facts, were distinct in law and involved different kinds of
proof. (Ib.)
Criminal law—Where penitentiary sentence is imposed, vital error must be noticed
by appellate court, though not properly presented.
(U. S. C. C. A., 1928.) Where a defendant was given a penitentiary sentence of five years, it is the duty of the appellate court to notice a vital
error, though not properly presented. (Clark v. United States, 24 Fed.

281-286, 502].)
(U. S. C. C. A., 1928.) While Federal reserve act, section 2 (12 U. S. C. A.,
§§ 222-225, 281-286, 502), requires every national bank to become a
member of the Federal reserve system, under penalty of forfeiture of its
charter at suit of the United States, a court can not presume in a criminal
case, in aid of pleading or proof, that a national bank is such member.
(Ib.)
In prosecution for making false entries in books of national bank, it must be alleged
and proved that bank was member of Federal reserve system. (12 U. S. C. A.,

for misapplying funds and moneys of member bank of Federal reserve
bank, under Revised Statutes, section 5209 (12 U. S. C. A., § 592), where
defendant loaned personal credit to bank to assist it in obtaining loan,

Criminal law—Where sentences ran concurrently after conviction on several counts,
insufficiency of some of counts was immaterial.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Where indictment, in prosecution under Revised
Statutes, section 5209 (12 U. S. C. A. § 592), for making false and fraudulent entries in minute book of bank, charged such offense in 37 counts, and

one or more of such counts to state charge with requisite particularity held
immaterial, where description was sufficient in one. (Ib.)
Criminal law—Refusal of instructions covered by instructions given held not error.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Refusal to give certain requested instructions is not
error, where such instructions were fully covered by court in its charge.

Evidence held to warrant conviction of director and president of national bank for
making false entries and misapplying bank's funds.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Evidence held to warrant conviction of director and
president of national bank for violation of national banking laws (12
U. S. C. A. sec. 592), by making false entries in bank's records and misapplication of bank's funds. (Behimer v. United States. 28 Fed. Rep.,
2d series, 552.)
Payment of forged note, constituting asset of bank, by crediting bank1 s funds thereon,
held "misapplication of bank's funds."
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where forged note was held as asset of national
bank, credit of bank's funds thereon for purpose of paying it constituted a
"misapplication of bank's funds" within national banking laws (12
U. S. C. A. sec. 592), since some one was liable to bank on note, and such
payment reduced bank's credits to that extent, as against contention that,
since no funds were withdrawn from bank by credit made on note, there
was no misapplication. (Ib.)
Courts—District court of district created after offense charged in indictment had no
jurisdiction thereof. (Jud. Code, § 59 [28 U. S. C. A. § 121].)
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Under Judicial Code, section 59 (28 U. S. C. A. § 121),
district court of district created subsequent to offense charged under
indictment had no jurisdiction thereof, and defendent was entitled to discharge in habeas corpus. (Mizell v. Beard, U. S. Marshal, 25 Fed. Rep.,
2d series, 324.)
Criminal law—Commissioner, on application to remove prisoner, must determine
identity of party, whether indictment charged offense, and whether indictment was
triable in district.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) On application to remove prisoner from one district to
another for trial, commissioner must determine identity of party charged
in indictment, whether indictment charged an offense against the United
States, and, if so, whether offense charged was triable in district to which
removal was sought. (Ib.)
OFFSETS
OFFSETS BETWEEN INSOLVENT BANKS AND THEIR CREDITORS
Debts of banks to each other must have existed at time of insolvency in order to set
off one against the other.
(U. S, C. C. A. 1928.) In order for defendant bank to set-off debt due it
from insolvent bank against debt due insolvent bank, debt of the two
banks, each to the other, must have existed and been owned by banks,
respectively, at time of insolvency. (Storing v. First Nat. Bank of
Minneapolis, Minn., 28 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 587.)
Set-off and counterclaim—Under State statutes, right of set-off is recognized. (G. .
S. Minn. 1923, sees. 9166, 9253, 9254.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Under General Statutes Minnesota, 1923, sections
9166, 9253, 9254, right of set-off is recognized. (Ib.)

Debt due defendant bank could be set-off against defendant1 s debt to insolvent bank,
even if debt was not payable at time.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where M bank had deposit with defendant bank,
and defendant bank had sent collection items to M bank, and M bank
had collected same and sent draft to defendant bank on day M. bank
became insolvent, defendant bank could set-off amount due it on collection
items against amount of deposit, even if debt was not payable at time
defendant bank made use of it as offset. (Ib.)
As regards set-off, forwarding of draft by collecting bank, which became insolvent
thereafter, did not retard maturity of debt to bank forwarding collection items.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) As regards set-off, making and forwarding of draft
by collecting bank, which became insolvent thereafter, could not retard
maturity of debt to bank forwarding collection items, since bank receiving
collection items became agent of the other bank, and as soon as collection
was made it became the other bank's debtor, and debt was payable at
once. (Ib.)
POWERS
National bank may make or buy loan secured by pledge of stock of another bank, and
purchase such stock when sold to satisfy loan.
(IT. S. C. C. A. 1928.) A national bank may make or buy a loan secured by
stock of another bank, pledged as collateral thereto, and acquire by purchase such stock, when sold to satisfy the loan. (First National Bank in

National bank held owner of stock of another bank, acquired as part of assets of third
bank taken over by it, and liable for stock assessment.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) National bank held to be the owner of stock of
another bank, acquired by it as part of assets of bank which it took over,
and hence liable for stock assessment. (Ib.)
Bank may acquire from debtor stock of other corporation, where done in good faith to
prevent loss.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Though a banking corporation is without power to
engage in the business of buying and selling for profit stock of other corporations, it may in a transaction entered into in good faith with a person
indebted to it, for the purpose of preventing or lessening anticipated loss
on such indebtedness, acquire ownership of such stock with a view to its
subsequent sale. (Haynes et al. v. Kershaw, 22 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 735.)
Texas bank may acquire ownership of stock in national bank to save loss on debt, and
as stockholder may become subject to assessment.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Texas banking corporation may acquire stock in a
national bank when taken in good faith to save itself from anticipated loss,
and as stockholder may become subject to assessment on insolvency of
national bank. (Ib.)
PRINCIPAL AND AGENT
Acceptance and retention by principal of deeds to land obtained by agent held waiver
of right to hold agent liable for defective title.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1927.) Plaintiff deposited money with defendant bank, to
be paid on delivery to it of conveyances of certain lands. On receiving
the deeds he learned that full title to one of the tracts was not conveyed,
but retained the deeds and undertook to purchase the outstanding interest.
Held, that by so doing he waived any right to hold defendant liable for
disobeying alleged instructions to require a legal opinion as to the title
before paying out the money. (First National Bank of Gainesville, Ga.,
v. Biddle, 22 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 1.)

Highways—Contractor's bond to insure completion of highway and payment of
claims for labor and material became part of contract, (Hemingway's Code
Miss. 1917, sees. 3734, 3736; Laws Miss. 1918, c. 217.)

sections 3734, 3736, and Laws, Mississippi, 1918, c. 217, became essential
part of contract. (Ib.)
Subrogation—Notice was imputed to bank dealing with highway contractor, that
there was surety, and of surety's rights under contract. (Hemingway's Code
Miss. 1917, sees. 3734, 3736; Laws Miss. 1918, c. 217.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Since Hemingway's Code, Mississippi 1917, sections
3734, 3736, and Laws, Mississippi, 1918, c. 217, required contractor to give
bond with surety to insure completion of highway and payment of valid
claims for labor and material, notice was imputed to bank, loaning money
to contractor and taking assignment of fund due and to become due to contractor, of fact that there was surety, and of surety's rights and obligations
under contract, which rights related back to date of bond. (Ib.)
Subrogation—Surety's right to retained percentage is superior to right of bank,
advancing money under assignment from contractor taken subsequently, or without
notice to surety.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where performance of contract results in loss,
right of surety under its bond to the retained percentage is superior to
right of bank, which advances money to contractor under an assignment
from contractor taken subsequently, or without notice to surety. (Ib.)
Assig?iments—Bank, advancing money to highway contractor under assignment of
funds due contractor, could not recover of surety, without knowledge of assignment,
amount of current estimate paid to contractor and applied by him and surety to
bills for labor and material.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Bank, advancing money to highway contractor,
held not entitled to recover of surety amount of current estimate paid to

and material, where at time payment was made surety had no knowledge
of contractor's assignment to bank of funds due or to become due contractor
to secure loan. (Ib.)
Assignments—Bank, loaning money to highway contractor, was entitled under
assignment only to funds payable to contractor.

Assignments—Labor and material claims were superior to claims held by bank,
advancing money to highway contractor under assignments.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Labor and material claims were superior to any claim
held by bank advancing money to highway contractor under assignments

Highways—Where contractor" paid labor and material claims, and took assignments
of claims to bank, bank could not recover from surety by reason of assignments.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where highway contractor, after highway was completed and accepted, paid persons holding claims for labor and material
by personal checks on bank out of deposit remaining to his credit, and took
assignments of claims in favor of bank, bank was not entitled to any relief
against contractor's surety by reason of assignments, since law gave no
lien on account of claims, and they were in reality paid by contractor with
his own funds and thus discharged, and, if bank advanced money, it was
to contractor, and not to claimants, and bank had no right to reimbursement. (Ib.)
Highways—Highway contractor's surety held entitled to have amount contractor
received for empty cement sacks deducted from material man's claim for cement
consumed.
(XL S. C. C. A. 1928.) Highway contractor's surety held entitled to allowance of amount received by contractor from sale of empty cement sacks as
deduction from material man's claim for value of cement consumed on
highway, since surety was liable only on such claims as were based on labor
and material actually furnished and consumed on highway. (Ib.)

Presumption of bank stockholder's liability arises from presence of name on bank
stock register.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Presumption of legal liability of bank stockholder
as such arises from the presence of his name on the stock register of the
bank. (Williams v. Stone, 25 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 831.)
That bank stockholder never received stock certificate is no defense to statutory action
in behalf of creditors.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Fact that bank stockholder never received possession
of stock certificate is no defense to statutory action for stockholder's
liability in favor of creditors. (Ib.)
Alleged fraudulent representations of bank's officers and failure to deliver stock
certificate held no defense to stockholder, knowing stock was transferred to his name,
in suit to enforce stockholder's liability.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Bank stockholder, who knew that stock for which he
paid was transferred to him on books of bank and that original owner
received payment, and who failed to make a^iy protest or objection, held,
not entitled to avoid statutory liability as stockholder in suit by receiver

fraudulent representations of bank's officers, and that stock certificate
had not been delivered. (Ib.)
ACTIONS TO ENFORCE LIABILITY
Appeal and error—Admission of immaterial evidence in trial to court without jury

Appeal and error—Judgment on question of fact in case tried without jury will not
be disturbed if sustained by any substantial evidence.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) When case is tried to court, a jury being waived, if
there is any substantial evidence to sustain judgment upon question of
fact, such judgment will not be disturbed on appeal. (Ib.)
Directors who deposited money in escrow to purchase stock of nonresponding stockholders held liable for subsequent assessment.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where money was deposited by directors of bank in

that transfer of property by bank stockholder after closing of bank and
before payment of double liability, under Revised Statutes, Kansas, 1923,
9-110, is void, is not limited to defeating voluntary acts by stockholder, since word "transfers," especially in insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings, may have a very broad meaning, broad enough to

Internal revenue—Summons to bank to produce records of income-tax payer's
deposits held not to warrant injunction, being mere request for information, not
compelling bank to furnish immaterial evidence. (Revenue act, 1926, sec. 1104
(26 U. S. C.A., sec. 1247).)
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Summons issued to bank by internal-revenue agent
under revenue act, 1926, section 1104 (26 U. S. C. A., sec. 1247), to produce
records of income-tax payer's deposits and withdrawals for stated period,
was mere request to furnish information, which bank may refuse to do
until appropriate court order is made, and hence does not authorize
injunction, especially in absence of anything therein compelling bank to
furnish wholly immaterial evidence, as court can not assume that bank
will not exercise reasonable discretion, or act without due regard for taxpayer's rights. (Cooley v. Bergin et al., 27 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 930.)
Searches and seizures—Proceeding to compel bank to produce records of income-tax
payer's deposits invades no constitutional rights of depositor, though some entries
relate to deposits of others' money. (Revenue act, 1926, sec. 1104 (26 U. S. C. A.,

act, 1926, section 1104 (26 U. S. C. A., sec. 1247), to compel bank to
produce records of income-tax payer's deposits and withdrawals for
stated period, invades no rights of depositor under constitutional amendment 4, against unreasonable search and seizure, though some entries

refusing to give any information whatever, nor permitting it to be sole
judge of what entries are material. (Ib.)
National bank is public institution, obliged to aid Federal authorities in administering laws, as by producing records of income-tax payer's deposits, so far as
compatible with duty to customers. (Revenue act, 1926, sec. 1104 (26 U. S. C. A.,

Revenue act, 1916, § 12 [a],
[Comp. St. § 68361]; bank stock tax act, N. J. § 8.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Bank stock tax act (Laws N. J. 1914, c. 90) provides
for assessment and taxation of bank shares to the holders thereof, but that
the tax shall be paid by the bank, which shall have a lien therefor on the
shares. By section 8 it is provided that at its request, before assessment,
and agreement to pay the same, the assessment shall be made against the
bank. Held, that a tax assessed and levied against a bank under such
provision is one "imposed" on the bank by State authority, within the
meaning of revenue act, 1916, section 12 (a) (Comp. St. § 6336Z), and that
when paid the bank is entitled to deduct it from gross income. (Ferguson,

including bonds and securities of the United States and to tax State banks on their
assets excluding such securities.
(U. S. Sup. 1928.) A substantial discrimination against national banks in
favor of incorporated State banks resulting from taxation of nationalbank shares upon a yaluation equal to that of the assets of the bank,
including bonds and like securities of the United States, while the shares
of the State banks are not taxed and the State banks themselves are
taxed only on the value of their assets after excluding United States bonds
and securities, violates Revised Statutes, section 5219. (The Montana
National Bank of Billings v. Yellowstone County of Montana et al., 276
U. S. 499.)
Taxation of shares of State corporate banks must be like that of shares of national
hanks.
(U. S. Sup. 1928.) Taxation of shares of State corporate banks must be
like that of shares of national banks, so far as necessary to prevent discrimination; in neither case does the exemption of Federal securities held
by the bank apply in taxation of the shares. Des Moines Bank v. Fairweather (263 U. S. 103), distinguished. (Ib.)
The right of a national bank suing for its shareholders to challenge the validity of the
statutes and recover the taxes paid ivas not affected by a decision of a State supreme
court repudiating the earlier construction and declaring the State bank's shares
taxable. The fact that under the later decision the taxing officials were empowered,
to tax the shares of State banks, and thus bring about equality, was not an obstacle
to the suit, no intention to exercise the power having been manifested. Failure to
'.ipply to the county board of equalization for administrative relief was no bar
to maintenance of the action, since the board had no power to grant it under the
statute as construed when the taxes were imposed and collected.
(U. S. Sup. 1928.) Where the shares of a national bank were taxed and the
tax paid, under statutes then construed by the State supreme court as
not permitting shares of State corporate banks to be taxed, but only the
State banks themselves, thus creating a discrimination due to the inclusion
of United States securities owned by the national bank In the valuation of
its shares and to the necessary exclusion of like securities owned by the
State banks in assessing their assets, held (1) that the right of the national
bank, suing for its shareholders, to challenge the validity of the statutes
as so construed and applied, and to recover the taxes paid, was not affected
by a decision of the State supreme court in the suit repudiating the earlier
construction and declaring the State bank shares taxable; (2) that the
fact that under the later decision the taxing officials were empowered to
tax the shares of State banks, and thus bring about equality, was not an
obstacle to the suit, no intention to exercise the power having been manifested; and (3) that failure to apply to the county board of equalization
for administrative relief was no bar to maintenance of the action, since the
board had no power to grant it under the statute as construed when the
taxes were imposed and collected (78 Mont. 62, reversed). (Ib.)

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
Taxation—County and officers sued by national bank for taxes paid on stock thereof
can not invoke statute requiring action by real party in interest, (12 U. S. C. A.
§ 548.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) County and its treasurer and commissioners can
not invoke protection of statute requiring action by real party in interest,
in action against them by national bank, to recover taxes imposed on
shares of bank stock, in violation of Revised Statutes, section 5219,
as amended (12 U. S. C. A. § 548), as recovery thereof from defendants
'will protect them from any future suits or claims to fund by any other
party. (McFarland, Co. Treas., et al. v. Central National Bank of
Topeka, 26 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 890.)
Taxation—National bank, suing for taxes paid on stock thereof, held real party
in interest (Rev. St. Kan. 1923, 79-1101; 12 U. S. C. A. §5^5.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Under Revised Statutes, Kansas, 1923, 79-1101,
national bank paying under protest taxes imposed on shares of stock
therein in violation of Revised Statutes, section 5219, as amended (12
U. S. C. A. § 548), was real party in interest in action to recover amount
from county and its treasurer and commissioners. (Ib.)
Taxation—National bank's pleadings held sufficient on demurrer to show that its
payment of taxes on bank stock was not voluntary. (12 U. S. C. A. § 54-8.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) In national bank's action to recover taxes imposed
on shares of bank stock in violation of Revised Statutes, section 5219,
as amended (12 U. S. C. A. § 548), plaintiff's pleadings, stating facts
relating to its endeavors to have county commissioners, State public
service commission, and other taxing officers relieve bank and shareholders of such taxes, and alleging that payments made by it were "under
duress and protest," to avoid seizure of its property, held sufficient on
demurrer to show that payment was not voluntarily made. (Ib.)
Courts—Denial of motion for new trial, not being part of bill of exceptions, is not
reviewable in circuit court of appeals.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Neither denial of motion for new trial nor any
proceedings thereto are reviewable in circuit court of appeals, not being
part of bill of exceptions containing record of trial. (Ib.)
Appeal and error—General judgment is conclusive finding of all necessary facts,
where bill of exceptions shows no requests for findings or declarations of law,
nor exceptions to court's declarations. (28 tf.S.C.A.
§ 879.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where bill of exceptions contains no record of
any request by defendants during trial for findings of fact or declarations
of law, nor any exception to any declaration of law by court, general
judgment for plaintiff is conclusive finding of all facts requisite to sustain
it, under 28 U. S. C. A., section 879, which statute applies to the circuit
court of appeals. (Ib.)
Appeal and error—Question whether any substantial evidence sustains judgment
is not reviewable, in absence of request, motion, or other action fairly presenting
question and securing ruling during trial.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Question whether or not there was any substantial
evidence to sustain judgment is not reviewable in Federal courts in
absence of request, motion, or like action fairly presenting question to
trial court, and securing its ruling thereon during trial. (Ib.)
Appeal and error—Exception calling trial court's attention to specific error is
indispensable to review of ruling.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Exception to ruling, sharply calling trial court's
attention to specific error alleged, is indispensable to review of such
ruling. (Ib.)
Taxation—Neither property nor shares of stock of national bank can be taxed by State
without consent of Congress.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) National banks are agencies of the General Government,
and neither their property nor their shares of stock can be taxed by the
State without the consent of Congress, and then only in conformity with
such restrictions as it may impose. (Brotherhood Co-op. National Bank
et al. v. Hurlburt, Sheriff and Tax Collector, 26 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 957.)
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

Taxation—Moneyed capital of individuals and corporations loaning money and
selling notes and bonds held in competition with national banks, within law requiring equality of taxation. (Laws Or. 1925, p. 1+85; Laws Or. 1921, p. 688; Or. L.
§ 4258; 12 U. S. C. A. § 548.)
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Moneyed capital in hands of individual citizens and
corporations engaged in business of loaning money and selling notes and
bonds and other securities for profit, which was not assessed or taxed
as especially exempt under Laws Or. 1925, page 485, or Laws Or. 1921,
page 688, or intentionally and purposely omitted from assessment roll, held
to have been employed in a manner which brought it into competition
with business conducted by national banks, so that tax on valuation of
shares of stock after deducting value of real estate from capital, surplus,
and undivided profits, pursuant to Or. L., section 4253, was unlawful as
in violation of Revised Statutes, United States, section 5219 (12 U. S. C. A.
§ 548.) (Ib.)
Taxation—That investment concerns competing with national banks borrowed money
from local banks did not constitute defense to suit to enjoin collection of taxes.
(12 U. S. C. A. § 548.)
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) The fact that many of investment concerns engaged in
competition with business of national bank borrowed large amounts of
money for use in their business from local banks does not in any way
constitute a defense to suit to enjoin collection of taxes levied against
shares of stock of national banks, on ground that it was in violation of
Revised Statutes, United States, section 5219 (12 U. S. C. A. § 548),
requiring equality in taxation as between moneyed capital in hands of
individuals engaged in competition with national banks and shares of
stock of such banks. (Ib.)
Taxation—National banks1 request for assessment of stock direct to bank did not
estop them from suing to enjoin collection of unlawful tax. (12 U. S. C. A. § 548.)
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) National banks held not estopped to bring suit to enjoin
tax collector from collecting taxes levied against shares of stock, on ground
taxes were in violation of Revised Statutes, section 5219 (12 U. S. C. A.
§ 548), because of having requested assessment of stock direct to bank,
and not to shareholders, since such request was pursuant to mutual
understanding, intended as matter of convenience both to banks and
assessor, and can not be construed as promise to pay any tax which might
be levied, legal or not. (Ib.)
Taxation—National banks, furnishing assessor information to make assessments,
did not thereby acquiesce and become estopped from questioning validity of taxes.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Where
national banks furnish assessor information required by lav/, from wThich he made assessments, they did not thereby
acquiesce in assessment, so as to become estopped from questioning
validity of taxes, since they had a right to assume that, in making assessments, assessor would comply with law authorizing taxation of their
shares. (Ib.)

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
Trusts—One taking property by fraud is trustee in equity.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Equity regards one who is defrauded of his property
as not divested of his equitable right and title, and the wrongdoer is treated
as holding the property in trust for the rightful owner. (Ib.)
Trusts—Alleged transaction by which insolvent bank issued drafts and instructed
payee to transfer credit to another bank with intent to defraud, known to other
hank, made banks trustees.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Alleged transaction by which insolvent bank issued
drafts for deposit to credit of drawer in payee bank, and subsequently
directed payee bank to transfer part of credit created by the unpaid drafts

the payee bank %nd to prefer the third bank, made the insolvent bank
and the third bank, knowing of the facts, trustees of the money so transferred in favor of the defrauded bank. (Ib.)
Trusts—Transferee taking with knowledge may not hold property fraudulently
obtained.
(IT. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Third party, not participating in fraudulent procurement of funds, may not hold the property as transferee, if he takes with
knowledge of the facts. (Ib.)
Courts—Court had jurisdiction of bank's suit to enforce lien on deposit in local
branch bank under complaint alleging transfer of credit therein to third bank
induced by fraud. {Jud. Code, § 57 [28 U. S. C. A. § 118]; 12 U. S. C. A. § 91.)

bank in the Federal reserve bank, with fruadulent purpose known to the
third bank, also a nonresident, in violation of Revised Statutes, section
5242 (12 U. S. C. A. § 91), the credit transferred by the plaintiff under
the insolvent bank's instruction was personal property having its situs at
the branch of the Federal reserve bank to which the transfer was made,
and Federal court of local district had jurisdiction in suit to enforce lien
on the deposit in the Federal reserve bank, under Judicial Code, section 57
(28 U. S. C. A. § 118). (Ib.)
Courts—Court had jurisdiction of suit by local bank against Kansas City Federal

(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Suit to quiet title to mining claims brought under
Revised Codes, Montana, 1921, section 9479, which permits such an action

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
203
Quieting title—Evidence held insufficient to sustain burden of defendants claiming
under sale of estate's property to disprove record title of plaintiff in suit to quiet
title to mining claims. (Rev. Codes Mont. 1921, § 9479.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) In suit to quiet title to mining claims, under Revised
Codes, Montana, 1921, section 9479, in which defendants claimed as
purchasers under sale of property of estate, evidence of attempted transfer
by plaintiff of mining property to father's estate was insufficient to sustain
defendants' burden to disprove plaintiff's record title. (Ib.)
Trusts—Where trustee agreeing to convey trust properly to estate of which she was
executrix, on condition of coexecutor's joining, erroneously executed deed as executrix, and coexecutor failed to join, deed vjas ineffective.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where trustee of certain mining property, who was
also executrix of father's estate, agreed to transfer the trust property to
the estate, provided her brother, who was the other personal representative, would join in the conveyance, deed, where executed by grantor as
executrix of the estate, and not as trustee, and where it remained unexecuted by the other representative, was ineffective to convey title, since
executrix should have had status of grantee rather that than of grantor.
(Ib.)
Trusts—Trustee's attempted conveyance without consideration of trust property
to estate of which she was executrix held void where estate had no interest therein.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Deed of mining property, by person holding it
under express trust, to father's estate of which trustee was executrix, if
executed in her capacity as trustee, was nevertheless void for want of
authority, where it was given without consideration, since trustee could
not enlarge one trust by impoverishing the other, and had no more authority to donate the property to the estate than she would have to give it
to a stranger; conveyance being executed at instance of creditors of estate
of father, who had made gift of the property for benefit of members of
his family. (Ib.)
Trusts—Trustee under two distinct trusts can not enlarge one by impoverishing the
other.
(XL S. C. C. A. 1928.) Person in exercise of two distinct trusts can not
enlarge one by impoverishing the other. (Ib.)
Trusts-—Trustee held not barred by estoppel or laches from asserting title to property
allegedly conveyed by her where deed itself showed want of consideration and
improper execution. (Rev. Codes Mont. 1921, § 9479.)
(XL S. C. C. A. 1928.) Trustee executing deed of mining property to estate
of which she was executrix, which on its face appeared to be void because
given without consideration to her as trustee, and because improperly
executed by her in her capacity as executrix, held not estopped or barred
by laches from seeking to quiet title under Revised Codes, Montana,
1921, section 9479, as against purchasers of property from estate. (Ib.)
Vendor and purchaser-—Purchasers are bound to take notice of form and, recitals
of deed under which vendor claims.
(XL S. C. C. A. 1928.) Purchasers are bound to take notice of form and
recitals of instrument attempting to convey title to their vendor. (Ib.)
Executors and administrators—Judgment of probate court decreeing sale of estate's
proverty held not res judicata of issue of title as against adverse claimants. (Rev.
Codes Mont. 1921, § 9479.)
(XL S. C. C. A. 1928.) State court sitting in probate held without jurisdiction
to determine questions of title between estate and persons claiming
adversely, and order and judgment for sale of estate's property in probate
court was therefore not res judicata of question of title in subsequent
suit to quiet title under Revised Codes, Montana, 1921, section 9479. (Ib.)
Executors and ad?ninistrators—Probate court may not determine questions of title
between estate and adverse claimants.
(XL S. C. C. A. 1928.) Probate court has no jurisdiction to determine
questions of title to real property between estate and persons claiming
adversely. (Ib.)

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
Trusts—Evidence held to sustain verdict that money loaned belonged to ward's estate,
not to bank to which mortgage was executed.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Evidence held to sustain verdict of jury finding that
money borrowed by plaintiff guardian from bank on note and mortgage
belonged to her ward's estate, and was lent to her as part of such estate,
though mortgage was payable to bank as such, and not as guardian, and
plaintiff was therefore entitled to have trust imposed on note in favor of
her ward, as against motion of bank's receiver to set aside the verdict.
(Williams v. Stone, 25 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 588.)
Action—Action to impress trust on note in possession of bank's receiver in favor of
estate of plaintiff's ward is purely equitable.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Action having for its object to impress on note held
by bank's receiver a trust in favor of the estate of plaintiff's ward is
purely equitable, and should have been tried as a suit in equity, instead
of as an action at law. (Ib.)
Appeal and error—Judgment in equitable action tried as action at law, and so
treated by parties, will not be disturbed by reviewing cornet, where jury reached
correct conclusion.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where purely equitable action was tried as action
at law, and was so treated on appeal by both parties, judgment therein
will not be disturbed by reviewing court, where jury reached correct conclusion on the facts. (Ib.)
Trial—Weight of testimony and credibility of witnesses is for jury.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Weight of the testimony and credibility of witnesses
is for the jury. (Ib.)
Wills—Charitable institutions, in existence at time will giving them trust estate after
death of widow, took effect, received vested interest therein. (Code Ala. 1923,
$$5671,6911.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Under Code, Alabama, 1923, sections 5671, 6911,
charitable institutions which were in existence at time will devising residue
of trust estate took effect, and being then capable of taking bequest on
death of testator's widow, to whom income of trust estate was devised,
received vested estate or interest therein. (First National Bank of Birmingham, Ala., v. Snead, Collector, 24 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 186.)
Trusts—Trustees must act in good faith informing opinion as to matter with reference
to which they act in trust capacity.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Trustees are obligated to act in good faith when
forming an opinion as to a matter with reference to which they act in a
trust capacity. (Ib.)
'Trusts—Discretion vested in trustees to invade corpus of trust estate for support of
testator's widow is subject to judicial control.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where will provided that trustees, on determining
net income from trust estate, was insufficient for proper support and comfort of testator's widow, might pay out of such trust estate any additional
sum necessary, they could not arbitrarily invade the corpus thereof, and
the exercise of discretion vested in them was subject to judicial revision
and control. (Ib.)
Internal revenue—Trustees' power to invade corpus of trust estate did not preclude
deduction for estate tax purposes of bequest of residue to charitable institutions.
(Revenue act of 1921, § 403 [a] 3 [Comp. St. § 6336%d].)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where income from trust estate, bequeathed to
widow, together with income from her separate estate, was more than
sufficient for her maintenance, the fact that trustees were authorized to
invade corpus of trust estate, if necessary, to provide for maintenance,
does not preclude deduction under revenue act of 1921, section 403 [a]
3 (Comp. St. § 6336^d), for estate tax purposes of bequest of residue to
charitable institutions, since approximate value of bequest was ascertainable under such circumstances, and allowable as deduction. (Ib.)
Courts—Federal court has jurisdiction in equity of suit to recover trust fund.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) In suit in which plaintiff seeks to recover trust
fund, Federal district court has jurisdiction in equity. (St. Petersburg
Advt. Co. et al. v. American Motorsign Co., 25 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 397.)
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
Courts—District court's decision on conflicting evidence that defendant breached
contract sued on held conclusive on Circuit Court of Appeals.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) In suit for breach of contract to buy advertising
device manufactured by plaintiff, circuit court of appeals must accept
decision of district court, based on conflicting evidence, that contract
was breached by defendant. (Ib.)
Damages—Buyer's deposit of $3,500 to be paid seller on buyer's breach of contract
to buy five advertising devices per month for 10 months at $235 each held liquidated
damages, and not penalty.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where defendant, in connection with contract to
buy five advertising devices per month for 10 months at price of $235
each, deposited in bank under another contract $3,500 out of which bank
was to remit payment on purchase of such devices, and which should
be paid to plaintiff on defendant's breach of contract, such deposit held
to be in nature of liquidated damages, and not penalty. (Ib.)
Bank holding fund to be paid seller on buyer's breach of contract and seller's notice
of ability to perform has no obligation to pay until evidence of seller's ability to
perform is presented.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) Where buyer made deposit with bank which was to
be paid to seller on buyer's breach and seller giving notice of being ready,
able, and willing to comply with contract, bank had no obligation to pay
until evidence was actually presented that seller was ready, able, and
willing to perform, and was not liable for interest prior to such time. (Ib.)
Judgment—Federal court's decree will not be amended to add interest on judgment
which may be collected on execution. (28 U. S. C. A. § 811.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1928.) In action for breach of sale contract brought in
Federal district court in Florida, plaintiff, having recovered judgment, is
entitled to interest thereon at same rate that would apply to judgment in
State courts under 28 U. S. C. A., section 811 (Comp. St. § 1605), but
decree will not be amended to allow such interest, since it may be collected
on execution. (Ib.)
Contracts—Court will respect intention of parties stipulating that rights and duties
shall be determined according to laivs of particular jurisdiction.
(IT. S. D. C. 1928.) When parties to an instrument have stipulated that
their rights and duties shall be determined according to the laws of a
particular jurisdiction, their intention will be respected by the court.
(Liberty National Bank & Trust Co, in New York v. New England
Investors Shares (Inc.) et al., 25 Fed. Rep., 2d series, 493.)
Trusts—Validity of trust consisting of personalty is determinable by law of settlor's
domicile.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Validity of trust consisting of personalty is to be
determined according to law of domicile of settlor. (Ib.)
Perpetuities—Trust in personalty limited to period less than 21 years held not
void under Massachusetts law as creating perpetuity or imposing restraint on
alienation.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) A trust consisting of personal property, limited by its
terms to a period of years less than 21, held not void under Massachusetts
law as creating a perpetuity or imposing a restraint on alienation. (Ib.)
Perpetuities—Trust authorizing settlor to sell underlying securities and holders of
collateral trustee shares to exchange them for underlying securities did not violate
rule against perpetuities. (Personal Property Law N. Y. § 11.)
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Where a trust consisting of capital stock and underlying securities retained power in settlor to sell underlying securities for
purpose of reinvestment, and authorized holders of collateral trustee's
shares to surrender certificates and receive a unit of underlying securities
in exchange therefor, the trust was not invalid, as violating rule against
perpetuities, either under the law of Massachusetts or under personal
property law, New York. (Consol. Laws, c. 41), section 11, since rule
against perpetuities is directed against suspension of absolute ownership
or power of alienation. (Ib.)

Trusts—Law prohibiting alienation of beneficiaries' interests held inapplicable t o
trust created for settlor's benefit and granting interest to holders of beneficial

P. D. 831-916
Where a stockholder of a
State bank is indebted to the bank and dies, the bank having a
lien on the stock under the State law, if the State bank is converted into a national bank after the death of the debtor, the

PREFERENTIAL PAYMENT.
NECESSITY FOR TRACING TRUST FUNDS ON INSOLVENCY OF NATIONAL
BANK. Adopting the Federal rule it was held that on the insol-
vency of a national bank, "it is not sufficient to trace the trust
property to the general assets of the estate and to show that it
increased the value of such general assets." The writer of the
majority opinion withheld commitment as to trust funds not
imperatively ruled by Federal law. Central National Bank
v. First National Bank, 219 N. W. (Neb.) 894.

CHECKS WITHOUT
210
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
Duty to examine and return statements and to give notice to
bank. Failure as acquiescence in correctness of account. When
mistake may be shown. Huggins v. Commercial & Savings
Bank, 140 S. E. (S. C.) 177. P. D. 1287.
FIDUCIARY CHECKS. An instrument executed by a corporate
officer payable to himself as an individual is not "regular upon
its face" as that term is used in subdivision 1 of section 52 of the
negotiable instruments act, and consequently a purchaser can
not be a "holder in due course." (Compare § 6 of the uniform
fiduciaries act.) Gilman v. F. O. Bailey Carriage Co. (Inc.),
141 Atl. (Me.) 321. P. D. 1307, § 6.

P. D. 1417-1626
PAR COLLECTION OF CHECKS BY MEANS OF FEDERAL RESERVE SYS-
TEM. The court thoroughly discusses the applicable principles
and finds that there was no coercion by the Federal Reserve
Bank of Minneapolis compelling the plaintiff nonmember bank
to agree to remit without exchange charge. First State Bank
of Hugo v. Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, 219 N. W.
(Minn.) 908. P. D. 1429.5.
PAR COLLECTION. State statute permitting a drawee bank to deduct
exchange charge. Where national bank received checks upon a
State bank in same town in North Carolina and presented them
over the counter. Holding that drawee bank not entitled to
exchange charge. Injunction against making this charge and
returning the check after dishonor. (Questionable decision in
that under § 189 of the negotiable instruments act, the drawee
of a check owes no duty to the holder with respect to payment.)
First National Bank of Roxboro (Inc.) v. People's Bank, 140 S. E.
(N. C.) 705. (Case comment in N. C. Law Rev., 4/28, p. 325.)
P. D. 1436.
COLLECTION AGREEMENT. A depository bank sent through the clearings a check belonging to its depositor. It received a clearance
draft for the balance due it which was dishonored. The original
check was marked paid and surrendered to the drawer. The
court held that there was no authority to charge the depositor's
account with the proportionate share of the draft. (This decision raises the question whether a collection agreement applies
where a clearance draft is taken in the absence of a specific
agreement in relation thereto. In the absence of such a specific
agreement does the bank taking the clearance draft do so at its
own risk?) Virtue v. Danbury State Bank, 218 N. W. (Iowa) 58.
(Case comment in Iowa Law Rev., 6/28, p. 472.) P. D. 1446.

Columbia National Bank, 140 S. E. (S. C.) 593. P. D. 1446.
COLLECTION AGREEMENT. Collection agreement between banks
authorizing second bank to "accept either cash or draft in payment." Practice of second bank to give credit to third bank as
drawee which was to remit each Wednesday and Saturday;
failure of third bank on Monday after receipt of check. Liability of second bank to first bank under collection agreement.
Stone v. Wachovia Bank & Trust Co., 143 S. E. (S. C.) 27.
P. D. 1446.
COLLECTION AGREEMENET. "A collecting bank, since it is under no
obligation to undertake a collection may impose any contractual
condition that it sees fit with respect to the manner and means
by which a collection which it does undertake shall be made."
State v. Bismarck Bank, 220 N. W. (N. D.) 636. P. D. 1446.
COLLECTION AGREEMENT. DUTY OF COLLECTING BANK. The syllabus by the court is in part as follows: " Parties delivering items to
banks for immediate credit, cash, or collection may contract with
the bank as to the terms and conditions under which the bank
may handle such matters, and all parties to such agreement are
bound by the terms thereof; subject, however, to the well-recognized principle of law, as applied in this case, that the bank could
not contract against its own negligence. If a collecting bank is in
possession of facts indicating the depressed financial condition
of a debtor bank, it is delinquent in its duty, if it neglects to
inform an interested customer of such vital condition, and fails
.to take vigorous measures, under the circumstances, to secure
payment of a check
on such debtor placed with it for collection
by such customer.77 Bennett v. American National Bank, 264
Pac. (Okl.) 912. P. D. 1446.
COLLECTION AGREEMENT. A collection agreement was prominently
posted in the lobby of the bank, nevertheless the court held that
a depositor was not bound thereby in the absence of an express
agreement unless the collection agreement came to his knowledge
under such circumstanc.es that his assent might be implied.
Virtue v. Danbury State Bank, 218 N. W. (Iowa) 58. (Case
comment in Iowa Law Rev., 6/28, p. 472.) P. D. 1446.

Express agreement
making depositors joint tenants. Mardis v. Steen, 141 Atl.
(Pa.) 629. P. D. 1832.
"A bank account in the name of husband and wife, in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, creates a survivorship in the wife,
whether or not there has been a delivery of the bank book.
The intention of the husband, when so depositing his money,
is presumed to be to benefit the wife to the extent of conferring
the right of survivorship upon her and to leave him with the
control and the right of disposition thereof during his life/7
The above principle applies where an account is not in substantially
the form designated by the statute which makes an account in
two names the property of the depositors as joint tenants.
Brumer v. Brumer, 228 N. Y. S. (App. Div.) 63. P. D. 1866.
DEPOSITS. ACCOUNT STATED. The rule as to account stated does not
apply to statement of account rendered by a bank to its depositor.
The reason given is that a bank is not merely a debtor of its
depositor but also is a paying agent; the depositor having the
right to demand repayment at any time. Huggins v. Commercial
& Savings Bank, 140 S. E. (S. C.) 177. P. D. 1950.
PAYMENT OF JOINT ACCOUNT TO SURVIVOR.
FORGED PAPER.
P. D. 2012-2363
The general rule that a drawee bank can not recover money paid on
a forged check is subject to an exception where the bank from
which recovery is sought has merely given an unwithdrawn
credit on a bank account. Such bank is not a holder in due
course; it has not parted with value. American Surety Co. of
New York v. Industrial Sav. Bank, 219 N. W. (Mich.) 689.
P. D. 2044.7.
A depositor sued a drawee bank claiming that the indorsements on
its checks were forged. The bank was permitted to bring in
the indorsers as parties under section 193 of the New York
Civil Practice Act, on the ground that the indorsers would be
liable over to it and in order that the liability of the bank to the
drawer of the checks might be made res adjudicata for the bank
against the indorsers. National Surety Co. v. Nassau National

The phrase " statutory larceny" in a banker's insurance policy has

LOST AND STOLEN PAPER.
P. D. 3037-3193
Blank American Express travelers' checks were stolen from the
selling agent and sold to a bank after the blanks were filled.
The court held that the drawee express company was not liable
to the purchasing bank
since the blanks when stolen constituted
"merely waste paper.77 There could be no holder in due course
of such paper. There could
not be even "the holder of a negotiable instrument at all.77 There was no negligence on the part
of the express company or of its selling agent in connection with
the theft of the blanks. (The dissenting opinion proceeded
primarily on the public policy of extending protection to negotiable instruments. The purchasing bank was an innocent
purchaser for value. Under the majority opinion it is difficult
to see how a bank in purchasing a travelers check can protect
itself against stolen blanks.) American Express Co., v. City

MOTES AND ACCEPTANCES PAYABLE AT BANK.
P. D. 3719-3746
The failure of a bank at which a note is made payable excuses the
holder of the note from making presentment there and he is not
required to make presentment elsewhere. Calkins v. Vaughan,
114 So. (Ala. Sup.) 570. P. D. 3744.3.
Contra: Wood v. Roe, 218 N. W. (Iowa) 51, where the court
said: "The fact that the bank specified as the place of payment
is insolvent and in the hands of a receiver is no excuse for nonpresentment." The court further stated that a waiver of presentment at the bank at which the note was made payable did not
waive presentment to the maker of the note.

exchange or promissory note within a fixed time. This statute
was held in First National Bank v. Lee County Cotton Oil Co.,
274 S. W. 127, to have been repealed by the negotiable instruments act enacted in 1919. This statute was incorporated as a
part of the 1925 Kevised Civil Statutes as article 566. Does this
reenactment provide a substitute for protest and notice in order
to hold an indorser or drawer liable? The court expressly refused
to decide this question in Hall v. First State Bank, 4 S. W. (2d)
(Texas Civ. App.) 253. P. D. 3940.
Presentment of a check for certification is insufficient presentment;
refusal to certify is not such dishonor as authorizes suit against

P. D. 4319.
A provision authorizing a bank to set-off against a time note a deposit
at any time the bank feels itself insecure, renders the note nonnegotiable. The court noted that the bank might appropriate
the deposit of the maker of the note and subsequently transfer
the note as an existing obligation for the full amount. "Then
through no fault of the maker a note which had been paid would
be left where it might, under certain circumstances, creep into
circulation. In case the note were transferred, if the instrument
is negotiable, the holder in due course could force payment a
second time." First State Bank of Cheyenne v. Barton, 263
Pac. (Okl.) 142. (Case comment in Pa. Law Rev. 5/28, p. 866.)
P. D. 4332.2.
Set-off by bank without actual notice of trust character of deposit
but with knowledge of circumstances putting it on inquiry.
Livestock check. First National Bank in Oklahoma City v.
Duncan, 260 Pac. (Okla.) 491. P. D. 4359.
Knowledge that the payee of a note is insolvent does not preclude the
indorsee being a holder in due course. Where the payee is a
bank, the depositor can not set off his deposit against the note
as against a transferee with knowledge of the bank's insolvency.
Such insolvency involving the right of set-off is not an ''infirmity."

Omission of alternative method

National Bank, 143 Atl. (Pa.) 105. P. D. 4617.
PENNSYLVANIA TAX ON BANK STOCK.
INVALIDITY OF TAX ON STATE BANK STOCK WHERE SUCH TAX INVALID
AS TO NATIONAL-BANK STOCK BECAUSE OF DISCRIMINATION IN
FAVOR OF "MONEYED CAPITAL." Since "the shares of national
banks can not be taxed at a greater rate than is assessed on other
moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizens, coming into
direct competition with such banks, it follows that the shares of
State banks in South Dakota can not be taxed at a greater rate
than is assessed upon other moneyed capital coming into competition with the business of such banks."
In support of the above are cited: State Bank of Omaha v.
Endres, 109 Neb. 753, 192 N. W. 322; Munn v. Des Moines
National Bank (C. C. A.) 18 Fed. (2d) 269. Paraphrasing the
principle, discrimination in taxation against a national bank
renders the tax illegal as to it. State banks are in the same tax
class as national banks; consequently, if the tax is invalid as to
a national bank, it is invalid as to a State bank. Commercial
State Bank of Wagner v. Wilson, County Treasurer, 220 N. W.
(S. D.) 152. P. D. 4623.
In determining whether a tax upon the capital stock of a Nebraska
State bank was invalid the court referred to the earlier decision
of State Bank v. Endres, 109 Neb. 753, 192 N. W. 322, where
"we held that, if national banks were to be excluded from the
operation of section 5887, State banks would also have to be
excluded, because otherwise the taxes levied thereunder would
lack the uniformity as to class required by section 1, article 8,
of the constitution of Nebraska. That case was cited with
approval in Central Nat. Bank v. Sutherland, 113 Neb. 126, 202
N. W. 428." State v. Ord. State Bank, 220 N. W. (Neb.) 265.

National bank stock may be taxed at a higher rate than the property
of a small loan corporation. Welfare Loan Soc. of Des Moines v.
City of Des Moines, 219 N. W. (Iowa) 534. Universal Loan
Corporation v. Board of Review of City of Des Moines, 219 N. W.
(Iowa) 536. P. D. 4664.
The taxation of the stock of a South Dakota State bank is invalid if
the "shares of its capital stock are taxed at a greater rate than
other moneyed capital, substantial in amount,
coming into direct
competition with its business in its locality/7 In 1926 the stock
was taxed at the general personal property rate of 50.27 mills
while moneys and credits were taxed at 4 mills. Commercial
State Bank of Wagner v. Wilson, County Treasurer, 220 N. W.
(S. D.) 152. P. D. 4664.
Under the 1925 amendment of the Nebraska law stock in banks and
loan and trust or investment companies is assessed as intangible
property at 70 per cent of the rate
of taxing tangible property.
Other intangibles are taxed at 2x/i mills on the dollar except that
corporate stock other than as above stated is taxed at 5 mills.
In the case before the court the 70 per cent rate resulted in a tax
on bank stock of 29.2 mills; consequently the 1925 statute was
held unconstitutional. The bank involved was a State and
not a national bank. State v. Ord State Bank, 220 N. W.
(Neb.) 265. P. D. 4664.
State taxation of national banks. Discrimination against nationalbank stock. Provision of State constitution requiring that all
property be taxed according to its value. Assessment of nationalbank stock at 90 per cent of cash value and other property at
75 per cent. Statement that this violates amendment 14 of the
Federal Constitution. Boonville National Bank v. Schlotzhauer, 298 S. W. (Mo. Sup.) 732. P. D. 4664.
Adoption by Florida Supreme Court of rule established by United
States Supreme Court that a tax against stock of a national bank
is invalid where " the assessors habitually and intentionally, or
by some rule prescribed by themselves, or by some one whom they
are bound to obey, assessed the shares of the national banks
higher in proportion
to their actual value than other moneyed
capital generally.77 According to the pleadings in the Florida
case competing moneyed capital was omitted from taxation.
