R EPORT
OF
THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY,
Washington, December 3, 1894.
SIR : I liave the honor to herewith submit, as required by law, for
the consideration of Congress, the annual report of the Comptroller of
the Currency. It is the thirty-second report made since the organization of the Bureau, and covers the year which ended October 31, 1894.
The records of the Bureau show that on October 31 the total number
of national banks in operation was 3,756, with an authorized capital
stock of $67.2,671,365, represented by 7,955,076^ shares of stock owned
by 287,842 shareholder thus giving to each bank in the system an
average capital stock of $179,002, with 2,117 shares and 76 shareholders.
In this total number of banks in the system Pennsylvania leads with
406; New York follows with 334; Massachusetts is next with 267, and
the three following in order of numbers are Ohio, 246; Texas, 218; and
Illinois, 217. In the item of capital stock Massachusetts is first, with
$97,992,500, with the several States following next in the order
named, viz: New York, $87,346,060; Pennsylvania, $74,168,390; Ohio,"
$45,240,100; Illinois, $38,506,000; Texas, $23,255,000; Connecticut,
$.22,791,070, and Missouri, $20,840,000.
On October 2,1894, the dale of their last report of condition, the total
resources of the 3,755 banks then reporting were $3,473,922,055.27,
of which their loans and discounts aggregated $2,007,122,191.30, and
money of all kinds in bank, $422,428,192.45. Of their liabilities,
$1,728,418,819.12 represented individual deposits, $334,121,082.10 surplus and net undivided profits, and $172,331,978 circulating^ notes outstanding. The total amount of circulation of national banks October
31, as shown by the books of the office, was $207,472,603, a net decrease
during the year of $1,741,563, and a gross decrease of $8,614,864 in
circulation secured by a deposit of bonds.
During the year but 50 banks, located in 22 States, were organized,
with a total capital stock of $5,285,000. This is the smallest number of banks organized, as well as the minimum amount of capital, in
any one year since 1879. In point of numbers Pennsylvania leads with
8 banks, followed by Illinois with 5, Minnesota 4, Ohio and Texas
3 each; the remaining 27 are distributed among the other States. In
point of capital stock Kentucky is first, with $800,000, Pennsylvania
second, with $600,000, Missouri third, with $575,000, and Ohio fourth,
with $510,000.

with a capital stock of $2,410,000, in the Northern and Eastern States;
10, with a capital stock of 81,550,000, in the Southern States; and 13,
with a capital stock of $1,325,000, in the Western or trans-Mississippi
division.
The charters of forty-one national banks, having a capital stock of
$5,143,000 and a circulation of $1,678,050, distributed throughout 18
States were extended during the year. Of these, 9 are located iu Illinois, 5 in Indiana, and 4 each in Ohio and Kentucky. (The details as
to the distribution or the remainder will be found in the table.) The
aggregate capital stock of the leading States is as follows: Kentucky, $825,000; Illinois, $698,000; California, $500,000; Massachusetts,
$500,000, and Texas, $500,000.
Within the year 79 banks, with an aggregate capital stock of
$10,475,000, have passed out of the system by voluntary liquidation,
and 21, including 2 which failed during the year 1893, with a capital
stock of $2,770,000, have become insolvent and been placed in charge of
receivers. Ten banks, with a capital stock of $1,575,000, which were
in the hands of receivers at the date of the last report, have resumed
business during the year.
The charters of 6 banks, reporting a capital of $665,000 and a circulation of $283,950, expired by limitation, 5 of which were succeeded by
new associations, with a capital stock aggregating $600,000 and circulation amounting to $92,250.
By a comparison of the statements contained in the last report with
the operations of the present year, it is observed that the number of
new banks decreased 69; the number of voluntary liquidations increased
33; the number of receivers appointed decreased 44. The number of
extensions of corporate existence increased 1; the number of expirations increased 2, and the number of banks organized to succeed expiring associations increased 1. The total number of active banks
decreased 40.

calls required by law indicates the changes which have characterized
the status of the banks at different periods throughout the year covered by this report. For the purpose of facilitating comparison with

REPORTS OF 1893 AND 1894 COMPARED.
The changed condition of the national banking interests, despite the
severe and prolonged financial and business depression of the year, as
shown by a comparison of the tables, is not less marked than was that
between the years 1892 and 1893. -The recovery of public confidence
in the banks during the year 1894 has been not less rapid than was
th ^apparent loss of such confidence in 1893.
Individual deposits declined from $1,764,456,177 on December 9,1892,
to their lowest point, $1,451,124,330, on October 3, 1893, but from the
last-named date they began steadily to increase to $1,539,399,795 on
December 19, 1893, $1,586,800,444 on February 28, 1894, $1,670,958,769
on May 4,1894, $1,677,801,200 on July 18,1894, until on October 2,1894,
they had reached the sum of $1,728,418,819, or an amount but
$36,000,000 less than on December 9, 1892, the highest point reached
during the two years named.
In this connection is to be considered that on December 9,1892, these
deposits were held by 3,784 banks, with a capital stock of $689,698,017,
while on October 2, 1894, they were held by only 3,755 banks, with a
capital stock of but $668,861,847.
At the last-named date the banks had a surplus fund of $245,197,517,
and net undivided profits of $88,923,564, as against, on December 9,
1892, a surplus fund of $239,931,932, and undivided profits, after deducting expenses and taxes, of $100,398,914.
During the two years named the national-bank notes outstanding
increased from $145,669,499, on December 9, 1892, to $182,959,725 on
October 3, 1893, after which date they decreased until July 18, 1894,
when the amount of $171,714,552 was reached. Between that date and
October 2, 1894, the amount again increased, reaching $172,331,978.
The amount due to other national banks on December 9, 1892, was
$323,339,449. It gradually decreased to $226,423,979 on October 3,
1893, but after that date again increased, and on October 2,1894, stood
at $343,692,310. So also with the amount due State banks and bankers.
On December 9, 1892, it was $160,778,117, but decreased by October 3,
1893, to $122,891,098, and after that date again increased, standing on
October 2, 1894, at $183,167,779.
On October 3, 1893., the liabilities of the banks for money borrowed
in different forms amounted to $80,126,026, which liability had by
December 19, 1893, decreased to $28,827,772. The same items of
liability on October 2, 1894, aggregated $26,944,248. The total liabilities of the banks which on December 9, 1892, were $3,480,349,667 had
on October 3, 1893, decreased to $3,109,563,284, the lowest point
touched during the two years under consideration, and after that time
increased gradually until on October 2, 1894? was $3,473,922,055, an
amount but $6,000,000 less than on December 9, 1892.
A study of their resources shows that the loans and discounts which
on December 9, 1892, stood at $2,166,615,720, and on May 4, 1893, at
$2,161,401,858, had by October 3, 1893, decreased to $l,84&|63i,167, the
lowest point touched during the two years. By December 19, 1893,
however, this item of resources had increased to $1,871,574,769; on
February 28, 1894, $1,872,402,605; on May 4,1894, $1,926,686,824; on
July 18, 1894, $1,944,441,315, and on October 2,1894, to $2,007,122,191,
a recovery at the last-named date of $163,488,024, as compared with
the lowest point reached on October 3, 1893.
The amount of United States bonds to secure circulation on December 9, 1892, was $166,449,250, increasing gradually during 1893 until
on October 3, 1893, it stood at $206,463,850, the highest point reached
8
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
during the two years. After October 3, 1803, commenced a slight
decrease, the amount of bonds held for circulation on October 2, 1894,
being $199,642,500. The amount of bonds held to secure United States
deposits shows little variation between the dates named. On December 9, 1892, it was $15,321,000, and on October 2, 1894, $15,226,000.
Of United States bonds held for'investment the banks had on December 9,1892, $4,148,600, the item decreasing in amount until on October
3,1893, when they held $2,760,950. On December 19,1893, the amount
had slightly increased, reaching $3,049,000, but on February 28, 1894,
it increased to $17,250,150, this marked increase being chiefly due to
investments made by the banks in the 5 per cent bonds sold by the
Treasury during the period intervening between the two dates named.
After February 28,1894, the amount of these bonds held for investment gradually decreased until on October 2,1894, when the banks held
$10,662,200.
The amount of stocks, securities, etc., was on December 9, 1892,
$153,648,180, but steadily decreased until October 3, 1893, when it
amounted to but $148,569,950. An increase then began and continued,
as is shown by the following: December 19, 1893, $159,749,363; February 28,1894, $174,305,552; May 4, 1894, $185,324,549; July 18, 1894,
$191,137,435, and October 2, 1894, $193,300,072. This movement commencing at the close of the monetary stringency and continuing while
the cash resources of the banks were being replenished by depositors,
indicates the extent to which this form of investments was resorted to'
by the banks during a period of easy money.
The amount invested in banking houses, furniture, and fixtures was
on December 9, 1892, $72,294,364, and with slight variations gradually
increased during the i)eriod to $75,183,745 on October 2f 1894. Of other
real estate and mortgages owned the banks held on December 9, 1892,
$15,926,687, the amount increasing during the year to $16,828,949, after
which date there was a gradual and steady increase until, on October 2,
1894, the amount reached $22,708,391, thus showing the extent to which
real-estate security was acquired by the banks as a result of the financial stringency for the purpose of saving debts previously contracted.
The item due from national banks, which on December 9, 1892,
was $142,623,106, decreased until, on October 3, 1893, it was but
$94,740,014. It then began to increase until, on October 2, 1894, it
reached the amount of $122,479,067; so also the amount due from
State banks and bankers, which on December 9, 1892, was $34,403,231,
decreased to $24,229,106 on October 3, 1893, after which time it again
slightly increased to $28,682,998 on December 19,1893. The variation
during 1894 was slight, standing on October 2, $27,973,911.
The amount due from reserve agents on December 9, 1892, was
$204,948,159, decreasing by October 3,1893, to $158,499,644, and thereafter increasing steadily until on July 18, 1894, the amount of
$258,089,227 was reached, the item standing at $248,849,607 on October
2, 1894.
Exchanges for clearing house, which on March 6, 1893, had reached
the large amount of $125,142,839, decreased to $106,181,394 on October
3, 1893, still further to $71,943,165 on December 19, 1893, and to
$70,299,653 on February 28, 1894, increasing to $76,002,055 on May 4,
1894, decreasing again by July 18, 1894, to $66,511,835, and again
sharply increasing between the last named date and October 2,1894, to
$88,524,052. Representing, as does this item, the volume of checks
drawn by their depositors exchanged by associated banks, the fluctuations are interesting as measuring the ebb andflowof business activity
during the period under consideration.
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

The specie held on December 9,1892, amounted to $209,895,260, and
gradually decreased to $186,761,173 on July 12, 1893, after which it as
gradually increased until on May 4, 1894, it amounted to $259,941,923,
decreasing thereafter to $250,670,652, and further to $237,250,654 on
October 2, 1894. So the amount of legal-tender notes and United
States certificates of deposit therefor, which on July 12, 1893, had decreased to $102,493,677, increased thereafter until the sum of these
items amounted on May 4, 1894, to $192,161,292, then decreasing to
$188,261,318 on July 18, 1894, and farther to $165,644,028 on October
2, 1894.
It is interesting to note that the lawful money reserve in bank, which
had reached its lowest point, $289,244,850, on July 12, 1893, steadily
increased thereafter until May 4,1894, the amount of it was $452,103,214. It then decreased to $438,931,970 on July 18,1894, and further to
$402,894,682 on October 2,1894, such decrease in cash resources between
May 4,1894, and October 2,1894, being accounted for by the marked
increase in the item of loans and discounts during the same period, due
to the gradual revival of business between the two dates named, but
more particularly between July 18, 1894, and October 2, 1894,
EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS.
The law requiring dividend reports from national banks went into
effect in March, 1869, and since that date the abstracts for semiannual
periods have been incorporated in the annual reports issued by this
Bureau. The number, capital, surplus, dividends, net earnings, and
ratios of dividends to capital, dividends to capital and surplus, and net
earnings to capital and surplus, annually, from March, 1869, to March,
1894, are shown by such abstracts.
The average capital and surplus were $522,797,940 and $149,931,336,
respectively 5 the average annual dividends paid amount to $44,355,814
and the net earnings to $55,237,454. The rate per cent of dividends
declared varies from 10.5 in the year ended March 1,1870, to 6.8 in
1894, the average for the twenty-five years being S.5. The total dividends paid and the net earnings are shown to amount to $1,108,895,358
and $1,380,936,361, respectively.
CONSOLIDATION OF BANKS.
During the year, as already stated, 79 national banks withdrew from
the system by voluntary liquidation, a number larger than in any previous year except 1885. Many active banks have reduced their capital
stock to a greater or less degree since the last report, while the number
of banks organized has been comparatively small. The cause is probably to be found in the reduced earnings of the banks, consequent upon
the contraction in the volume of business for the year.
While the average percentage of net earnings on capital and surplus
since 1869, when the act of Congress became operative requiring
national banks to report earnings and dividends, is 8.2 per cent and of
dividends 6.6 per cent, net earnings during the year past have only
amounted to 5.6 per cent and dividends to 5 per cent. This is the
smallest percentage of dividends ever paid, and the percentage of
earnings falls below all years except 1878 and 1879. The continued
stagnation in commercial circles, with its attendant business embarrassments, has in some instances consumed surplus and undivided
profits, and even demanded substantial assessments upon the shareholders to make good impairment of capital. In order to place such
10
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
banks upon a dividend-paying basis, expenses must be reduced until the
earnings again exceed them. How to accomplish this purpose has
demanded very serious consideration. Two methods appear to promise
favorable results. Either a reduction of capital or a consolidation of
banking interests will produce a curtailing of expenses. If the reduction can be accomplished without loss of business, its results may be
fairly satisfactory. However, such action frequently tends to breed
distrust rather than create confidence. No one can deny that bankingxhas
overreached itself in many communities. Profits are sought by several
institutions when one strong bank only could be able to make them,
the others conducting their business at either an actual loss, or at least
without profit. The consolidation of rival concerns in such localities
would add quite largely to the available banking capital, and at the
same time escape a large proportion of expense. It would also tend
to check reckless banking springing from an unwholesome competition
to obtain business. Such a course invites public confidence and goes
to justify it.
During the year this plan has been adopted by national banks at
Louisville, Indianapolis, Denver, Dallas, and in other places with satisfactory results. Unquestionably it will hereafter receive careful attention from conservative bankers, and, without in anywise tending toward
monopoly in banking concerns, it will be productive of benefit to all
interests.
BANKS, OTHER THAN NATIONAL.
In compliance with the provisions of the law requiring that the
Comptroller shall present to Congress a general statement of the
resources, liabilities, and condition of banks and banking companies,
other than national, namely: State, savings, privatebanks, andloan and
trust companies, the following information is submitted. It has been
furnished to this office by the officers of the various States and Territories of the Union having supervision of these institutions, and is complete except as to Delaware, Maryland, West 'Virginia, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Arizona, Idaho,
Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon,
and Utah.
The number of banks and savings institutions organized under State
authority, and in active operation July 1,1894, was 5,033, and reports
of condition have been -received from 4,834 of this number. A compilation of these returns will be found in the appendix, tabulated by
classes and States and the source of information indicated. In addition to the returns from banks organized under State authority, reports
of condition have been received from 904 private banks and bankers.
As the reports almost uniformly indicate the condition of such banks
in the months following the monetary stringency of 1893, a comparison
with the returns of the preceding year is herewith made to show the
extent to which these banks were affected by the panic. The principal
items of resources and liabilities are as follows:

From the above statement an increase is to be noted in the following
items: Investments in stocks and bonds, $643,880; cash on hand,
$23,727,801$ surplus and undivided profits, $6,218,497. The following
items show a decrease: Loans and discounts, $206,976,335; capital
stock, $7,271,850; deposits, $97,048,579, and total resources, $110,533,536.
The total number of State banks from which reports were received
is seven more thgfti reported in 1893, though the capital stock is $6,000,000 less, being but $214,435,573. The deposits are $658,107,494; loans
and discounts, $665,988,823; investments in stocks and bonds, $84,541,728; total resources, $1,077,164,813. The decrease in loans is about
$91,030,000; deposits, $49,000,000, and total resources, $53,000,000.
The amount of dividends paid by the State banks in Rhode Island,
Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and North Dakota is official, and
the percentage is based on the entire capital employed by all banks in
each State, With the exceptions above noted the average rates are
based on the capital and dividends of dividend-paying banks. Information on this subject, in full or in part, was received from 1,265 banks,
located in twenty-six States, capitalized in the sum of $69,601,357, on
which dividends amounting to $5,145,440, an average rate of 7.4 per
cent, were paid.
The incompleteness of such returns is owing to the fact that in a
large majority of States in which public officers are charged with the
supervision of banks and the compilation of banking statistics, no provision is made for procuring statements of dividends paid. In a
number of instances, however, the State officials very courteously made
a special call in order that the desired information might be placed at
the disposal of this Bureau.
Reports of condition were received from 1,024 savings banks and
savings institutions, of which 646.are mutual and 378 stock savings
banks. The resources of the latter class amount to less than 15 per
cent of the total of both. Of the mutual savings institutions 635 are
located in the Eastern and Middle States, 1 in a Southern, and 10 in
three of the Western States.
The total loans of banks of this class amount to $822,404,433; investments in stocks and bonds, $742,923,542; deposits, $1,538,305,070; and
total resources, $1,691,432,501. The total loans of all savings banks
amount to $1,026,622,425-3stock and bond investments, $778,587,866;
deposits subject to check, $29,971,962; savings deposits, $1,747,961,280;
and total resources, $1,980,744,189.
A comparison of these returns with those of 1893 indicates a decrease
in the following items: Loans, $20,152,272; stocks and bonds, $20,784,610; deposits, $30,867,020; total resources, $33,030,958. The number
of savings depositors is 52,912 less, and the average amount due each
depositor $3.69 less than last year. It appears from the annual reports
of public officers in the Eastern and Middle States that the large
decrease in deposits in savings banks was the result of the panic, withdrawals from the banks being due to fear, inspired by a lack of confidence, a desire to make other investments, or, where industrial depressions occurred, for subsistence.
From reports of savings banks, made as late as June 30 last, it appears that they are again approaching their normal condition, and their
deposits are now^ constantly increasing.

of each and of both classes of savings banks and the average deposit

companies at the date of the latest returns obtainable by this Bureau,
is $1,069,826,555, an average of $15.63 per capita. The aggregate capital reported in 1893 was $1,091,793,959, an average of $16.29.
The estimated population of the United States on the date mentioned
was 68,473,000; the total banking funds, namely, capital, surplus, undivided profits, and deposits of national and other banks, $6,407,003,338,
making a per capita average of $93.57. The decrease in these funds,
as compared with 1893, is $5,936,616. The average per capita on the
latter date was $95.68.
The amount of specie, paper currency, etc., held by national banks
on July 18 last, arid by other banks on or about the same date, was
$688,996,937, of which amount the gold reported was $133,398,786;

a summary of the annual report of the Commissioner of Labor, issued
May last, which is devoted exclusively to the laws and rules governing,
methods of operating, condition of, and statistics relative to building
and loan associations of the United States.
It appears from the report that associations of this character have
existed in the country since about 1840, since which date their growth
has been very rapid. It is stated that the number in operation is 5,83.8,
of which 1,079 are located in Pennsylvania, 721 in Ohio, 669 in Illinois,
445 in Indiana, 418 in New York, 366 in Missouri, 288 in New Jersey,
240 in Maryland, 148 in Kentucky, 133 in California, 115 in Massachusetts. In no other State does the number reach 100. Nearly complete
data show that the number of shares in force is 13,255,872, and the
number of shareholders 1,745,725. The number of male and female
shareholders was 919,614 and 307,828, respectively. The assets and liabilities of the associations are as follows:

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
INSOLVENT NATIONAL BANKS.
During the year there were placed in the hands of receivers 21
national banking associations, having an aggregate capital of $2,770,000;
surplus and undivided profits, $715,889; outstanding circulation,
$453,154; other liabilities, $5,470,313; and total liabilities, $9,409,356.
By comparison with the number and liabilities of all banks on October
2, last, the number of failures was 0.56 of 1 per cent the capital 0.4
of 1 per cent, and the liabilities 0.27 of 1 per cent.
The greatest number of failures occurred in Oregon, in which State
4 banks, with capital aggregating $425,000, were closed. In Kansas 3
banks, with capital of $450,000, and the same number in Nebraska,
with capital of $260,000, failed. There were 2 failures each in Texas
and Missouri, the aggregate capital being $175,000 and $450,000
respectively. In each of the following-named States but 1 bank was
compelled to close, the capital being as indicated: New York, $50,000;
Pennsylvania, $85,000; Alabama, $50,000; Michigan, $300,000; Colorado, $200,000; South Dakota, $75,000, and Washington, $250,000,
RECEIVERSHIPS.
Within the period covered by this report the affairs of 143 insolvent
national banks have demanded the supervision of the Comptroller. Of
these, 10 have been restored to solvency and have resumed business in
charge of their proper officers. The accounts of 8 have been finally
closed; 25 have been placed upon the inactive list, the accounts beingkept open only to await the result of pending litigation, or to prevent
too great sacrifice in disposing of remaining assets. On October 31
receivers were in charge of 100 trusts in i>roeessof active liquidation.
The number of receiverships in active operation during the past year
has been greater than in any former year since the origin of the nationalbanking system. For this reason, it seems appropriate to here present
some statistics concerning the administration of insolvent banks.
It has been found necessary to place the affairs of 267 national banks
in the hands of receivers since June 20, 1863, when the Comptroller's
certificate of authority to begin business was issued to the first bank.
Of these 12 have been restored to solvency, leaving the assets of 255
to be distributed by forced liquidation. The affairs of 130 of these
have been fully administered and the trusts closed.
The nominal value of the general assets of the 255 banks, as they
passed into the possession of the receivers, amounted to $158,010,847.
Assessments have been levied against shareholders of insolvent banks
amounting to $24,051,050, making the total resources of these trusts
$182,061,897, an average of $713,576 for each receivership. The total
liabilities of these failed banks were $109,036,458, an average of
$413,123 for each receivership.
The different receivers have collected in cash from the general assets
$64,925,321, and from assessments against shareholders $10,119,452,
making a total of cash collected $75,044,773. This amount is increased
by $21,871,822 by reason of offset settlements, etc., making gross collections aggregating $96,916,595.
There is an uncollected balance of assets in the hands of receivers
amounting to $43,846,521. Assets valued at $3,926,137 have been
returned to the shareholders of the banks that have paid all claims
allowed against them, including interest in full. These figures show
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
15
an average of over 72 per cent of the nominal value realized from a
forced collection of these items.
The total cost of securing this large aggregate of collections was
$5,857,727, or an average on all trusts of a trifle over 6 per cent of the
gross proceeds. When the extremely complicated and, in many
instances, desperate condition of these trusts is considered, it will be
seen that the expenses have been kept at a very low figure. It is
gratifying to know that each year the percentage of cost to collections
of assets is lessened.
The balance of the cash collected by the different receivers, after
deducting the expenses of the trusts, has been disposed of as follows:
settlements by offsets and otherwise, which discharged $21,871,822 of
the gross liabilities, required cash payments of $0,460,506. This leaves
a balance of liabilities footing up $8S,064,636, of which 64§ per cent
has already been paid in dividends, amounting to $56,933,633.
Including the settlements already mentioned, an average of 71y per
cent has already been paid upon gross liabilities of all insolvent national
banks. The proceeds of the assets yet to be collected will materially
increase this average. Shareholders of those banks that have more
than paid in full have received in cash from receivers $1,077,344. On
October 31, 1894, the cash balance remaining in the hands of the Comptroller and the receivers amounted to $1,723,563.
The average time required for the complete liquidation of the 130
receiverships which have been finally terminated was five and twofifths years. The longest time taken to settle the affairs of any trust
was in the case of the second bank thai failed, which was eighteen and
three-fourths years. The third failed bank comes next with seventeen
years. The shortest time within which the affairs of an insolvent
national bank have been settled by a receiver was four months and
eight days, the next shortest time being four months and fourteen days.
It should be explained that the length of time required to settle the
affairs of the second and third failed banks was owing to the fact that
at that time no legal precedents had been established, and all important
questions arising in the liquidation of their assets were required to be
determined in court. The litigation thus engendered was the principal
cause of the prolongation of these trusts.
It is gratifying to know that the average life of receiverships is
rapidly growing shorter, being approximately proportioned to the
increased experience in settling the affairs of such banks. The first
receiver for a national bank was appointed April 14, 1865. The average term of receiverships for the ten years prior to October 31, 1874,
was eight years one month and seventeen days. For the succeeding
decade the average is six years three months and fourteen days, and
for the last ten years the average is but two years ten months and
twenty-four days.
INSOLVENT BANKS OTHER THAN NATIONAL.
Through the courtesy of Mr. Albert O. Stevens, editor of Bradstreet's,
this Bureau has been placed in possession of statistics with respect to
the failure of banks other than national during the year ended August
31 last. This information in tabular form, showing the number of failures, assets, and liabilities by States, etc., will be found in the appendix.

By eliminating the failures of mortgage companies, which do not
do a banking business, from the total for the year, the number of failures is reduced to 62, and their assets and liabilities to $6,589,286 and
$7,400,510, respectively. By comparing these figures with those of
1892, when the failures were 69, the assets, $6,125,189, and the liabilities, $11,024,628, it is evident that the banking business of institutions
of the classes named has about resumed its normal condition.

INVESTIGATIONS UNDERTAKEN.
The increasing importance of the bank as a means for facilitating the
daily business transactions of every character and the many interests
centering in it, warranted the instituting and carrying on of'a number
of investigations upon lines which it was believed would afford the
general public and the lawmaking powers added information upon
questions not only affecting them in their relation to the banks, but to
the whole monetary problem. They involved the use of credit instruments in daily retail transactions, the extent to which banks are used
as banks of deposit by the people, as a source of profit to the Government and utility to the public. These investigations have been carried
on without other expense to the Government than the trifling cost
involved in the printing of the necessary extra blanks sent to the banks
upon three occasions when calls for reports of condition were made
upon them. The information furnished by the officers of these institu
17
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
tions was wholly gratuitous, and the Comptroller desires to here
acknowledge his indebtedness to them for the courtesy shown by them
in so readily complying with his request and aiding him in his undertaking.
THE USE OF CREDIT INSTRUMENTS IN RETAIL TRANSACTIONS.
The use of credit instruments in the daily transactions of the business of the country has been largely discussed in former reports, but this
office had not undertaken to systematically gather information upon the
subject of the use of them in retail transactions alone. The inquiries
made relative to their use had been general in their character, and thus
the returns received embraced in the largest measure the part they
played in transactions of very large magnitude.
It seems desirable in this instance to confine them exclusively to the
everyday business involved in daily living, and, therefore, at the suggestion of David Kinley, P H . D.? professorln charge of the department
of political economy in the University of Illinois, who had interested
himself in the matter, and of his colleague, Mr. A. P. Winston, the following circular and blank form for a reply thereto were prepared and
sent out to each bank under the supervision of the Comptroller:

2. Is it the custom in your community for employers to pay wages by checks?
3. If it is the custom for employers to pay wages by checks, do the employe's as

.
Very respectfully,
Cashier
National Bank,
Eeplies more or less complete were received from 2,465 out of a total
of 3,774. Upon their receipt an analysis of them was undertaken by
Prof. Kinley, in conjunction with the Comptroller, and while neither
the returns nor the analysis based upon them are as thorough as
might be wished, they at least throw some light upon an important
phase of the use of credit instruments and justify the making of the
inquiry. It is proposed to undertake during the ensuing year another
investigation touching the same subject, but in a way that will, it is
believed, call out more fully the exact facts.
There was of course no way of getting anything like complete
returns of retail transactions throughout the country. The best that
could be done Avas to select a few of those kinds of retail trade which
in the aggregate represent the largest percentage of retail business;
that is to say, those employments were selected the purchase of whose
products represents the largest part of expenses for living.
In his report for 1890, on the cost of production of iron, steel, etc.,
the TJ. S. Commissioner of Labor gives data respecting the cost of living, from which it appears that the expenditure for food, clothing, furniture, and fuel is ordinarily about 72.G per cen.t of the total expenditure
of the average family of five persons in those industries. It seemed
likely that the mode of payment of the purchases of products in these
lines would be fairly representative of the mode of payment in other
classes of retail transactions, and therefore of all classes of retail
transactions.
Owing to some slight misunderstanding the blanks sent out did not
cover these classes of transactions quite as fully as was intended.
Under clothiers, for instance, it was intended to include dealers in dry
goods. It was intended further to insert among the classes whose
deposits were called for, "general stores," because, as is well known,
in' most country districts one store covers most, if not all, the classes
of trade mentioned in the schedule. Notwithstanding these omissions,
it is thought, however, that the returns are fairly representative of the
character of the composition of the circulating medium of those places
throughout the country which are sufficiently developed to have a
national bank.
It may be said that a large amount of the retail trade on the day in
question is not represented, and that this omission vitiates the statistics materially. It must be remembered, however, that a large part of
the trade concerning which there are no returns is in the small country
towns where there are no national banks. In these places most of the
trade is done on the basis of book credit, farmers bringing in their

the credit in retail business. Moreover, the returns came from national
banks only. It is not unlikely that if returns had been received from
State and private banks throughout the country they would show the
same proportion of credit instruments used. The total number of State
and private banks at the time of the investigation was about 8,200; the
number of national banks was about 3,700.
If the State and private banks did only half as much business as the
national banks the total amount of retail transactions represented
would be $9,000,000, and this is about two-thirds of the average daily
expenditure in retail transactions throughout the country, as estimated
from the average expenditure given by the I3ommissioner of Labor in
his report for 1890, assuming the family expenditure he describes as the
average of the country. It is doubtless true, also, that the returns from
these banks would more largely increase the per cent of credit than the
per cent of money in the returns, for they are mostly located in those
parts of the country where credit seems to be more largely used.
Moreover, there are many instances in which the percentage of
checks used for payments in the other kinds of retail transactions is
much larger than in those for which returns were obtained. This is
shown by the extra returns written in on many of the blanks. For
example, in 8 banks in the State of Pennsylvania alone there were
$6,687 in checks deposited by dealers of the kinds specified in the circular, and $50,428 in checks deposited by other classes of retail dealers.
Instances of this kind would arise largely from some peculiar character of the x^lace, like the predominance of some particular trade, but
wherever they occur they would tend to swell the proportion of checks.
The amount of retail payments which the returns cover is $5,999,065,
or in round numbers $6,000,000. Of this amount 58.9 per cent was in
checks and store orders, and 41.1 per cent in the various kinds of money.
The percentages for the different States are as follows:

The number of cities of the first class whose statistics are included

It is not clear to what extent national-bank notes were returned as
Treasury notes. The omission of these, if they were omitted to any
large extent, can be allowed for on the assumption that the proportion of these notes used of the denominations of $20 and less bears
the same proportion to the total amount of these notes of the demoninations mentioned that the silver certificates returned bear to the total
silver certificates of the same denominations. That amount would be
$400,000. If this is included on the money side of the returns the
percentage of checks would become 53.8. This would not alter the
proportion of credit instruments used more than 5 per cent.
Another element which ought to be considered, concerning which
there is no way of getting data, but which would go to swell the credit
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
21
side of the account, is the large amount of store orders and store checks
used, especially in the mining districts and in country districts throughout the South. These are issued in payment of wages, and reduce the
amount of money paid out in wages as well as in retail payments. These
store orders, as well as the book credit accounts mentioned above, obtain
very largely in places whose supplies are furnished through u general
stores."
The business of these stores is therefore probably more largely a
credit than a cash business. The inclusion of these in the returns
would therefore have swelled the per cent of credit instruments. From
all these considerations it may be safely inferred that the percentage
of credit instruments shown is at least not too large.
A study of the tables shows that the extent of the use of credit
instruments in retail transactions varies widely in different parts of the
country. Mississippi heads the list and South Dakota shows the
smallest percentage. The larger daily use of credit throughout the
cotton-growing States was to be expected,and the figures bear out the
supposition. Alabama shows 65 per cent in checks and orders, Georgia
70.2 per cent, and Texas 67.5 per cent.
The same is true in general of the great wheat-growing States of the
Northwest. Eeferring to Table III, it is found that the highest percentage of checks is in the South Central division and the lowest in
the North Central division. Grouping the division of States somewhat differently, it is found that the percentage of retail transactions
done on credit is larger in the South Atlantic and South Central divisions than in the North Atlantic and North Central divisions, while
the Western group of States is intermediate.
It is commonly assumed that the use of checks and other credit
instruments increases with the population. While it is not safe to
draw any very definite conclusions from the results of a single investigation, and that, too? so defective as the present one necessarily was,
yet there are some indications from the returns that the above assumption is not in strict accordance with the facts. It would rather appear
that the rate of increase in the use of credit instruments in retail transactions decreases relatively to the growth of population after a certain
density of population is reached.
The returns from States grouped according to population, as in
Table II, seems to show this, and the returns from the cities appear to
bear out the conclusion. The same relation holds for the population
groups of Table III. The conclusion holds when the groups in the
tables are arranged either in the simple order of population, or in the
order of the density of population in the groups. The results for the
cities, grouped according to population, is shown in Table IY.
In the first class there are represented 4 cities whose population is
500,000 or more; the second class contains 11 cities whose population is
between 200,000 and 500,000; the third class 10 cities of between 100,000
and 200,000 population; the fourth class 25 cities of between 50,000 and
100,000; the fifth class 41 cities of between 25,000 and 50,000; and the
sixth class 59 cities of between 10,000 and 25,000. The percentage of
checks falls from 66.1, in the group of cities of 10,000 and over to 53.0
in the cities of 25,000; rises again to 70.9 in the cities of 100,000 and
more, and gradually falls to 55.9 when the cities of 500,000 are reached.
It will be seen from these figures that the movement of the use of
checks in the cities of the country corresponds approximately to the
movement in the country at large. The data are not sufficient for the
foundation of a law, but they indicate that the conclusion stated above
22
REPOKT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
as to the relation of the extent of the use of checks to the population
may be true.
The most important practical question connected with the investigation is whether or not the returns throw any light on the legitimacy of
the continual demand for more money in certain sections of the country.
Bearing in mind the difficulties which always interfere with the drawing of fair conclusions from incomplete data, it may be said that, so far
as they go, the returns do not fully justify, if at all, this demand.
There are wide differences as to the extent of the use of credit instruments in retail business between States of the same general character
of population and economic condition, but it would seem, from such
results as this investigation show, that if there is a real demand and
necessity for a continuous larger medium of exchange, the satisfaction
of that demand could and would be met by an increase in the use of
credit instruments. It is fair to presume that their use would follow,
as the absolute business needs of the people are always properly met by
those engaged in carrying on business of each community. That it is
not so met is evidence that the need is not as real as many would suppose from the constant demand made upon Congress to simply increase
the volume of the currency. Moreover, if that argument, which is based
solely upon the demand for more money, were in any large measure
sound, it would amount merely to a demand for an increase in the use
of credit, since the purpose served by bank notes in the majority of
instances could be equally well served by bank discounts and credit
deposits 3 in other words, by the use of checks.
There are certain other items of interesting information furnished by
the investigation. One is the distribution of the different kinds of
money in the country. It is a commonly observed fact that gold coin
in ordinary daily transactions is common in some parts of the country
and scarce in others; that silver and silver certificates are used to a
relatively much larger extent in some sections than in others, and
finally that Treasury notes and national-bank notes also have a pretty
well defined area of circulation. Thus we find gold used in retail transactions more largely, for example, in California, Colorado, South
Dakota, Oregon, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Texas, Washington,
and Wyoming than in the other States. Silver and silver certificates
constitute a larger part of the paying medium in retail business in
Alabama, Arkansas, North Carolina, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, and Texas than in other States.
Treasury and bank notes enter more largely in Massachusetts, New
York, Maine, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, North Dakota, Kansas, and
Iowa, but the data are not very satisfactory.
The distribution of money in a country is a matter of no little interest and importance, concerning which information is very desirable.
The returns do not throw any new light on the length of the period
of credit in retail transactions, It varies from a few days to six or nine
months, and in some cases a year, the longer period being in the agricultural districts. Moreover, there is no uniformity among retail tradesmen even in the same locality. In the 23 largest cities of the country
the average period of credit varies from one and one-tenth, to one and
four-tenths months. The returns are therefore too meager to furnish any
satisfactory conclusion of a general nature in so complex a matter.
As to the method of payment of wages, the custom varies greatly in
different States. So far as the results show in those States whose
population may be roughly described as being of medium density,
wages are paid more largely by checks than by cash. In the most
23
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
tMckly settled States, however, the opposite is true. Cash is used, of
course, more largely than checks for this purpose in States which have
a considerable number of large cities and whose industrial character
is manufacturing. As illustrating these points, the following table is
given, showing the ratio between the number of banks which report
that wages are paid by checks to the number which report payment
by cash:

The figures in the above table show the proportion of those banks
reporting that ifc is the custom in their community to pay wages by
checks. Besides these a considerable number of banks report that in
their localities wages are paid about equally by checks and by cash.
This is true principally of New York and Pennsylvania. One or two
banks note the interesting fact that since the currency dearth in 1893
the custom of paying wages by checks has grown in their localities.
On the other hand, one or two report that they discourage the practice
of payment by checks.
A question was inserted in the blanks sent out asking whether in the
places in which wages are paid by checks the employes, as a rule, present their checks for payment at* the banks or have them cashed by
the merchants. The purpose of this question was to get some information as to how far wage payment by check diminished the amount of
money which the banks have to carry to meet drafts for pay rolls. Evidently if the employes immediately carry their checks to the banks the
situation is not different from what it would be if the employers draw
the amount of their pay rolls from the banks and pay the wages in cash.
If, however, the employes paid part of their bills with the checks by
presenting- them to the merchants, obviously they would entail a
smaller draft on the cash in the banks. The returns, so far as they
indicate anything, show that about half the pay checks are cashed by
the banks and half by the merchants, the proportions, according to 650
replies, being 327.by the banks and 300 by the merchants.
There are several interesting facts of minor importance given in the
returns.
A fact, noted by several banks, was the influence of the railroad
strike of last summer. In some cases the receipts of thebanks had fallen
off almost entirely for several days, including that selected for securing
the statistics asked for. Still another fact brought out clearly, although,
of course, it was known with more or less certainty before, is that a
considerable number of banks, especially in the large cities, have no
depositors in retail business at all. In New York City, for example^
24
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
24 banks report that they have no such deposits or only an exceedingly small amount of them.
This fact has an important bearing on the apparent discrepancy
between the percentage of checks reported in the returns of this investigation and those secured by the Comptroller of the Currency in previous
investigations. The present inquiry has to do with the checks used in
retail transactions only. Previous inquiries have dealt with the amount
used in all transactions. It has been pretty generally agreed among
economists tnat the percentage (between 90 and 92 per cent) of instruments of credit shown by previous investigations to be used in the business of the country was so large because it represented, to a great
extent, wholesale as well as retail operations.
The advocates of a large volume of money, not inherently sound
money, have used this belief to offset the statement that credit is a
more important determining cause of prices in modern business than
money. The results of the present inquiry, however, are, on the whole,
in the line of the former conclusions as to the importance of credit
instruments in payments and exchanges generally, and against the
necessity of any additional provisions for simply an increase in the volume of money without taking into consideration the other and more
mportant elements which should characterize our currency circulation.
THE NUMBER OF DEPOSITORS IN THE NATIONAL BANKS.
The office having obtained such information as it could relative to
the subject just treated of, it seemed that facts showing the use of the
national banks by the general public as banks of deposit would be of
interest. Such facts would not only show the great numbers of the
people who were making use of them as a means of safe keeping for
their cash assets and the importance to them of having them properly
dealt with, but would further tend to show why so many credit instruments, such as checks, were in daily use.
It is fair to presume that as a person becomes a depositor in a bank
he is more given to the use of checks upon his bank of deposit in making payment of indebtedness than to the use of actual money. As the
number of depositors in banks increase such method of payment will
correspondingly increase, and the need of the enlargement of the volume of the circulating medium of the country fall away. The depositing of money in bank and the checking against it makes every dollar
of the currency an efficient one, in that each dollar is made to support
many transactions each day instead of but a single one, as is the case
where each transaction is carried on by the payment of actual cash.
In the appendix will be found the statement showing in detail the
number of depositors in national banks on July 18, 1894, together with
aggregate amounts to their credit. It is so arranged as to show—
Depositors having less than $1,000 to their credit,
Depositors having more than $1,000 and less than $2,000,
Depositors having $2,000 and less than $10,000; and
Depositors having $ 10,000 and over.
The statement is made up by geographical divisions, giving the number of banks and the number of depositors in each class and aggregate

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
The information above set forth was procured from the banks reporting at the same date as their report of condition made to the Comptroller for July 18, 1894, and is complete as to all the 3,770 doing business
on the date named, except as to 120, which failed to make any report.
The failure of these 120 banks to furnish this information, taken in
connection with the fact that some of the banks reporting failed to
include certificates of deposit, which are included in the item of individual deposits shown in the aggregate of their liabilities, will account
for the difference of $30,784,071 between the aggregate of individual
deposits shown by this statement, and the aggregate of this item
shown in the statement of resources and liabilities of the banks on July
18, 1894.
Considering the aggregates shown by this statement, it is found that
3,650 banks held deposits to the amount of $1,647,017,129, deposited
by 1,929,340 depositors, or an average of 528.5 depositors to each bank.
The following table indicates by geographical divisions the average
number of depositors, and the average amount for each depositor of
each class:

An analysis of the table shows that in the class under $1,000 the
average amount for each depositor varied in different sections of the
country from $135 to $205; in the class $1,000 and less than $2,000,
from $1,204 to $1,395; in the class $2,000 and less than $10,000, from
$3,784 to $4,291 • in the class $10,000 and over, from $23,188 to $46,864.
It will be seen from these figures that, with the exception of the class
of $10,000 and over, which has the smallest number of depositors, the
variation as to the average amount for each depositor in the different
sections of the country is but slight. A comparison of the average
number of depositors in the different geographical divisions shows the
variations to be much greater. The average of the total number of
depositors is lowest in division No. 4, viz, 304.1, and highest in division
No. 2, where it was 809.4. These wide variations are largely accounted
for by the extensive banking facilities furnished by banking institutions
outside of the national system.
For instance, in division No. 1, comprising six Eastern States, the
average number of depositors in 5S8 national banks is only 357.1, but
from tables appearing elsewhere in this report it will be seen that there

are also in this division 540 State banks, loan and trust companies,
and savings banks.
Taking divisions Nos. 2 and 3 together, having the highest average
total number of depositors in 1,003.national banks, viz, 809.4 and 772.7,
respectively, it is found that in the States comprising these two divisions there also are 811 State banks, loan and trust companies, savings and private banks. In division No. 4, comprising 11 Southern
States, we find the lowest average total number of depositors in 497
national banks, viz, 304.1, there being also in these 11 States 606 State,
etc., banks. In division No. 5 the average total number of depositors
in 754 national banks is 576.8, there being also in this division 986 State,
etc., banks. In division No. 6 the average total number of depositors
in 582 national banks is 422.1, there being also 2,155 State, etc., banks.
In division No. 7 the average total number of depositors in 128 national
banks is 617.5, there being also 313 State, etc, banks. In division No.
8 the average total number of depositors in 213 national banks is 310,
there being also 347 State and other banks.
In conclusion, it is shown by the table referred to that 3,650 national
banks held $1,647,017,129, deposited by 1,929,340 depositors, or an
average of 528.5 depositors to each bank. Applying this average to
$1,225,452,821 of deposits held by the banking institutions other than
savings banks operating outside of the national system, it is found that
such banking institutions held deposits made by 1,436,638 depositors.
The latest returns to this office made by savings banks show that they
held $1,747,961,280, deposited by 4,777,687 depositors.
A tabulation of this information is shown herewith:

It is found that all the banks and banking institutions in the country,
from which figures were obtainable at the latest dates, held deposits to
the enormous sum of $4,620,431,230 deposited by no less than 8,143,665
depositors. After making due allowance for the fact that the same
person may have deposits in more than one bank; further, that 120
national banks doing business on July 18, 1894, failed to make any
report; that the number of depositors in State and private banks and
loan and trust companies was estimated from the average number of
those in national banks, it is not unreasonable to conclude that the
banking institutions of the country are patronized and used by no less
than about 9,000,000 depositors, or about 1 person out of every 7 or 8
persons-in the total population of the United States.
No better evidence of the valuable and generally diffused service
rendered to the public by banks in general can be deduced than that
shown by the figures here presented, and no stronger argument could
be adduced to warrant the most careful and statesmanlike consideration of any measure affecting them. The facts as they are demonstrate
how many people have a material interest in them and how many
branches of trade and commerce are touched by any banking legislation which is placed upon the statute books.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
REVENUE TO THE GOVERNMENT.
The interest awakened by a discussion of a general revision of the
present national banking system makes it proper to consider in this
report how far the national banks have been a source of revenue to the
Government. Congress has considered the capital, deposits, and circulation of these banks as legitimate subjects of taxation. The act of
March 3, 1883, relieved the banks of further taxes on the first two
items, but left the 1 per cent annual duty on circulation undisturbed.
No subsequent changes have been made affecting this law.
The total tax collected on capital amounted to $7,885,887.74. The
banks have paid taxes on their deposits to the amount of $60,940,067.16.
Up to June 30, 1894, the end of the last fiscal year, the national-bank
circulation had yielded a revenue amounting to $75?834?997.17. Estimated at the same rate as for the year prior, the taxes on circulation
from June 30 to October 31 would yield an additional revenue of
$573,698.39.
National banks are also assessed for a sufficient amount to cover the
redemption of their circulating notes by the United States Treasurer,
the preparation of the plates from which these notes are printed, and
the fees of the national-bank examiners. These items amounted to
$367,836.93 during the past fiscal year, but they should not be regarded
in this calculation, as no part of this amount is retained in the public
treasury.
Whatever amount of bank notes remain eventually unredeemed will
be an additional source of profit, as the banks are required to pay into
the Treasury lawful money to the full amount of their circulation before
they are allowed to withdraw their deposits of United States bonds.
From the best obtainable figures, it appears reasonable to suppose that
a small amount of notes will not be presented for redemption. Although
some of the national banks ceased doing business over thirty years ago,
each bank still has currency that has not been presented. Something
like 2 per cent of the old State-bank circulation was not redeemed.
A careful examination of the currency accounts of the liquidated
national banks shows that the percentage of national-bank currency
probable to be unredeemed will be very much smaller. From present
indications, it seems probable that about two-fifths of 1 per cent of the
national-bank notes that have been in actual circulation will remain
unredeemed. On October 31, 1894, this amount was $691,706,231. At
the average rate of redemption there will remain as profit to the Government from this source $2,766,824.92. The average cost of redemption
has been about $1.37 per thousand.
On October 31, 1894, the amount in the Treasury to the credit of the
national-bank redemption account was $35,883,967.73. Hence it will be
seen that the profits from unredeemed circulation are already available.
The revenue from these banks was as follows:

From unredeemed circulation

$145, 234, 650.4

From this should be deducted the Government expense of this
office, including the additional expense, which has been carefully
estimated on the basis established by former Comptrollers, and the
total brought down to the close of the report year, amounting to
$15,365,963.75. This leaves the net x>rofit derived from the national
banks at $132,639,302.19.
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

As Government depositories, the national banks have received, stored
in their vaults, and accounted for $5,356,625,891, without expense to
the Government. Allowing the rate of three-eights of 1 per cent as a
reasonable compensation for such services, which is the same as that
fixed by the act of March 3, 1875, as the compensation of disbursing
officers for public buildings, it would amount to $20,087,347.
No attempt has been made to compute the expense for transportation charges during the thirty years, had it been necessary to transfer
the moneys to the various sub treasuries instead of depositing them in
these national banks, owing to the impossibility of obtaining the necessary information upon which to base an estimate. A casual investigation shows that this item would have amounted to a very large sum.
The saving in expense, irrespective of transportation charges, added
to the net profits detailed above, makes a total of $168,092,616 as the
measure of the direct benefit the United States Treasury has actually
received from the national banks.
SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC.
The amount of revenue received directly by the Government from the
tax imposed by it upon the banks, and the savings to it, as stated, have
been but a part of the benefits conferred upon the people through a well
organized, uniform, and carefully conducted banking system. The aid
rendered the individual in the carrying on of his business undertakings
has been far greater than any revenue paid to the Government or service given it. The indisputable facts are that since the inauguration of
the present system four great points of advantage and saving have been
gained to the general public.
First. The saving in heavy discounts on the bank currency prevalent
before the establishing of the national-bank system.
Second. The saving in rates of interest on loans and discounts.
Third. The saving in the making of exchange.
Fourth. The saving to customers in charges for making collections.
It is unnecessary to elaborate at any great length either of the above
enumerated propositions, and yet something pertinent to each may be
said that will give a clearer understanding of just what has been
gained by a system under the general supervision and control of the
Government.
It is not impossible, and it may be not improbable, that the same
results might have followed, with imj)roved business methods and
keener watchfulness, the conduct of systems of note issue and banking not uniform and not under the same supervision, but the facts are
that so far as the experiment has been tried, the one system has been
wholly successful in its operation, and the other, at the best, was but
partially so, and at its worst highly disastrous to all concerned.
The saving of loss from discounts on circulating notes of banks not
uniform was quickly realized by the public at large. Prior to the issuing of national-bank notes there were as a part of our circulating
medium approximately $200,000,000 of State-bank notes. The loss in
discount upon these varied in different sections of the country, and was
in a large measure controlled by what was known of the financial
standing of the issuing bank. The loss to the note holder, however,
was from 1 to 5 per cent, and not infrequently 10 per cent. In many
cases it was an entire loss. Whatever may be the defects of the present note issue of the national banks, it is at least uniform in appearance and value, and by law the note issued by every bank in the
30
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
system is receivable at par by every other bank in it, and redeemable in
lawful money at the bank of issue or at its designated redemption
agency.
The saving in rates of interest on loans and discounts has been
brought especially to the South, the West, and the Northwest, where the
necessary capital for banking purposes was very scarce and at the same
time very greatly, needed to develop the great natural resources of
these sections of the country. The provisions for the same governmental supervision of the national banks and uniformity of method
with which the capitalists in the East and North were familiar undoubtedly was an important factor in engaging their capital, which, owing
to its plentifulness at home was bringing to them either no interest or
very low rates in banking enterprises in the sections named.
The evidence of the extent of this investment is found in the fact that
in 1889 nearly one-third of the capital stock of 520 national banks in
Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska, was contributed by
Northern and Eastern shareholders, while in Dakota, Idaho, Montana,
New Mexico, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, and Arizona more than
one-half of the capital stockofl44nationalbanks was held by nonresident
shareholders. In the States of Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Texas, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee, of the shares of 410
national banks a little more than one-sixth of the total was held by nonresident shareholders. The investments of this character made by nonresidents since the dates given has been at least as large, if not larger,
than prior thereto, but the figures are not now at hand to state with
accuracy the proportion. The facts gathered, however, form of themselves such data upon the point made as to make it worthy of consideration.
The increase in the supply of loanable funds thus furnished necessarily had the effect of lowering the rates of interest on loans and discounts below the level of those previously prevailing. The general
confidence inspired by a central and uniform governmental supervision
and examination, the frequent publication of sworn reports of condition, the double liability of shareholders, the percentage of reserve to
be held against deposits required, and the necessity of having the
bank's funds invested in quick assets, rather than tied up in real estate
investments, operated to attract all over the country to these banks
the deposit of funds in large and small amounts, upon the greater portion of which no interest is paid for temporary safe-keeping. To the
extent that these deposits were made was the loaning capacity of the
banks added to and the idle capital in each community brought into
use. It can be easily calculated what the effect of rendering available
so much imported and home capital was toward lowering rates of
interest, when it is known that on October 2 last the individual deposits
held by national banks amounted to $1,728,418,819.
As banking methods have improved and safety made more certain,
under the effects of uniformity and general supervision, the lessening
of the rates of exchange has steadily gone on, thus giving business
interests the benefit of saving in an item in the transfer of funds that
prior to 1860 assumed very large proportions. At present, to transmit
$1,0(30 from New Orleans to New York it is but necessary to purchase
from the bank at New Orleans its check payable to the purchaser's
order on its correspondent bank in the latter city, and this may with
perfect safety be transmitted to New York or any other point in the
Union. At certain seasons of the year the purchaser will procure the
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
31
draft at par, at others at a slight premium of one-tenth or one-eighth
of 1 per cent.
In 1859 the average rate of exchange on New York from points in the
South and West is reported as from 1 to 1J per cent, while the current
rate in the State of New York in 1860 was one-half of 1 per cent. The
exact figures which represent the grand total of exchange between
national banks alone are not to be secured, but figures obtained by the
Comptroller in the year 1878 showed an estimate at that time of nearly
$3,000,000,000 as the amount of exchange drawn annually upon New
York alone by Southern and Western States, and not less than $4,000,000,000 as the amount drawn annually by the same States upon points
in the East, including New York.
The volume of business done by the national banks has greatly
increased since 1878, and a corresponding increase must be made in the
estimate then given for the purpose of approximating the measure of
saving to the public effected merely through exchanges. As a very
large proportion of clearing-house exchanges consist of checks drawn
by banks located at a distance from the clearing houses, an examination of the volume of these clearing house transactions will convey
some idea of the great volume of exchange effected between banks at
distant points. The clearings in New York city alone for the thirty
years ended in 1894 aggregated the sum of $949,000,000,000, while the
clearings for all the clearing houses in the United States for the single
year 1894, and that a year far below the average, were $45,000,000,000.
It is impossible to ascertain in exact figures the saving to bank customers in the collections made for them free of charge, of notes, drafts,
and other evidences of indebtedness. No statistics showing the money
value of these services have ever been gathered, but the continual
presence of these collection items in the files of every bank in the
cou-ntry furnishes abundant proof upon this point.
AMENDMENTS RECOMMENDED.
The act enumerating the duties of the Comptroller of the Currency
specifically requires that in his annual report u to Congress at the commencement of its sessions he shall suggest any amendment to the
laws relative to banking by which the system may be improved and the
security of the holders of its notes and other creditors may be
increased."
In compliance with the foregoing there were submitted at the last
session of Congress certain recommendations looking to the amendment
of existing laws. As yet the suggestions then made remain unacted
upon, and therefore they are resubmitted. It is unnecessary to here
set them forth in detail or again give the reasons then assigned in support of them. In a general way it may, however, be stated they cover
the following points:
That associations, if the present law is not changed as to a bond deposit,
be authorized to issue circulating notes equal to the par value of the
bonds deposited; that the semiannual duty on circulation be so
reduced as to equal one-fourth of 1 per cent per annum; that the
Comptroller, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, be
empowered to remove officers and directors of national banks for violations of law; that loans of any bank to its executive officers or employes
be restricted; that the assistant cashier under pertain conditions be
authorized to sign circulating notes; that some class of public officers
be empowered to administer the general oaths required by the national
32
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
bank act; that bank examiners be required to take an oath of office;
that the Comptroller be empowered to fix their compensation, and that
provision be made for supervising examiners.
It is believed the taking of proper legislative action upon these proposed amendments would be for the betterment of the system and promotive of the public good.
The amendments thus suggested, however, affect in the largest degree
only the administrative features of the present national-bank act, and
are of less relative importance than the remedying of any defects
which may exist in the note-issuing power vested by it in the banks.
No section of the law should be disturbed which can not be materially
improved upon and no amendment engrafted unless such amendment
will work out better results than How from the existing order of things.
The present law, it must be conceded, has been successful in every
material feature, excepting in the matter of bank-note issue, and here
the failure has been but a partial one. The notes issued by the banks
under governmental supervision have been uniform in appearance and
under any and all circumstances of the full face value which they purport to carry. They have possessed the first requisite of a good banknote issue—immediate convertibility into coin upon presentation.
It is probable that there could be no better plan for simply insuring
the note holder against loss than the present requirement of a deposit
of bonds to secure a bank's circulation, but it is equally certain, however, that a method could be devised not less safe in this respect and in
addition thereto possessing that which is as essential and is now wholly
wanting—elasticity of issue. The complaint therefore made against the
present system is that lacking in elasticity of issue it fails to meet as
fully as it ought the varying wants of the country's trade and commerce. This defect must attach to every scheme for currency issued by
the banks against a dej)osit of bonds, the market value of which fluctuates while the percentage of issue, less than the value of the bonds,
granted the banks remains unchanged. It must also be wanting in such
a method because of the delay, in the face of a pressing need, occasioned
by a tight inoney market or other reason, in securing and depositing the
bonds required and taking out the circulation thereon.
But serious as is this fault, and retardful as it is to the business
interests of the country, any attempt to remedy it which should lose
sight of or in anywise make less certain the present unquestioned
credit and convertibility of the bank issues of the country could not
be justified. It is a duty of governments to see that the currency
which circulates among the people ought always to be of the very high*
est character, and the soundness of which should never be a subject ot
inquiry. For thirty years the American people have had such a bank
currency, and having seen the value of it, both here and abroad, they
will not be content to have any innovation made unless such new
departure insures not only equal but better results.
It is respectfully suggested that not only as good but better results
would be obtained if the present banking act were amended by repealing the pro vision thereof requiring each bank, as a prerequisite to entering the system and issuing bank-note currency, to deposit Government
bonds.
In lieu of such provision should be substituted one permitting the
banks to issue circulating notes against their assets to an amount
equal to at least 50 per cent of their paid-up unimpaired capital. In
order to guarantee the note holder against loss on account of the issue
of any insolvent bank, a safety fund should be provided by graduated
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
33
taxation upon tlie outstanding circulation of the banks until the same
should equal not less than 5 per cent of the total of such outstanding
circulation, such fund to be held by the Government as an agent only
and for the purpose of immediately redeeming the notes of such insolvent bank. It should be as speedily as possible replenished by a first
and a paramount lieu out of the assets of the bank and the shareholders' double liability. The redemption of such notes should be
immediate upon indentation. Whatever other changes, if any, it
would be necessary to make in the present system relative to current
redemption of bank notes, and the Government's position relative to
the same and kindred matters, it is unnecessary to here set forth. If
the recommendation here made, together with that which will follow,
should receive consideration at the hands of Congress, a bill drawn
after careful study and investigation of the whole subject would necessarily embody all the details incident to a change from a bond to a
safety-fund security as a basis for bank circulation.
Before presenting what seems to the Comptroller to be as important
a phase of the question under discussion, and one which, if properly
worked out, would be of great benefit to the General Government, it is
pertinent to state that the change in the form of security for bank-note
issues proposed was sanctioned not only by the American Bankers'
Association, which recently met in Baltimore, but is indorsed by many
of the leading financiers and students of political economy in this and
other countries. It is embodied in the Canadian bank system and, in
part at least in the Scotch, English, and German systems. It is safe to
say that a note-issuing bank's best assets are its good business notes
falling due and paid each day, and that the loss attendant upon notes
ssued and circulated against such assets under systems permitting it
has been comparatively nothing. Only by issuing against them instead
of against a bond security can any degree of elasticity in the note-issuing
function be attained. It certainly can not be reached in the present
hard and fast line fixed by existing law.
As an aid in arriving at the proper per cent of taxation necessary to
raise a fund sufficient to redeem the notes of failed banks and the
expense incident to the conduct of the office of the Comptroller of the
Currency the following, taken from official records, is submitted:
Average annual circulation of national banks, 1864 to 1894
$282, 801, 252
Outstanding circulation of failed banks
17, 819, 541
Cost to General Government on account of national banks, as shown by
the books of the Comptroller's office
7, 610,169
Additional estimated cost
7, 732, 914
Tax of one-fourth of 1 per cent for thirty-one years
Tax of one-fifth of 1 per cent for thirty-one years
15, 343, 083
21, 917, 073
17, 533, 674
It will thus be seen that a tax on national banking circulation of
one-fifth of 1 per cent would have repaid the cost of the national banks
to the General Government, and also that a tax of one-fourth of 1 per
cent would have redeemed the notes of all failed national banks; in
fact, a tax of two-fifths of 1 per cent would have been ample to meet
both the cost of that system and the redemption of the notes of failed
national banks. Under the existing laws, the Government standing
responsible for the redemption of the circulation of failed national
banks, up to January 1 last, had there been no bond deposit whatever,
the loss to it would have been but $1,139,253, and of this amount
8182 CUR

34
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
$958,247 represents the loss by banks whose trusts are still open and
will pay further dividends, thus reducing the amount last named.
In considering the question of the benefits to the public of a bond
deposit on the part of the banks it ife well to remember that the comparatively few failures on the part of national banks have not been
because of any security given by them for their circulation, but because
of prudent and honest management on the part of those in charge of
them, and the careful supervision and examination of them by the officers of the Government. Under the same character of management
and the same superintendency and watchfulness on the part of the Government, failures will be not more numerous under a change in the
respect named, and therefore the deductions made from the facts of the
past are a safe basis for calculations as to the future.
The changes thus outlined will upon investigation, it is believed,
prove to be safe in affording complete security to the note holder and
give to the business interests of the country a note issue responsive to
their needs. Within the measure of percentage of issue against assets
granted the banks will be such range as will enable them to keep out
sufficient currency to meet the ordinary demands of business and to
speedily take out whatever extra amount is necessary to meet extraordinary occasions. It will not permit of an overissue if the notes
issued under such system are convertible in coin on demand and the
proper and speedy redemption of them is afforded. The business world
will use just such amount of them as is necessary to carry on trade, and
the remaining ones, it being unprofitable to have them in circulation,
will at once return for redemption.
The profit upon the issue of circulation to the banks by such change
would be so augmented that it is giving to them a franchise for which
it is suggested they should be called upon to make proper return to the
General Government. This return should not, however, be of such a
character as to defeat the ends sought in the privilege given.
For a long time the chief source of embarrassment to the General
Government and the cause of so great uncertainty in the business conditions of the country is the continual danger threatened by the use made
of the currency issues of the Government, and the inability, when the
revenues of the Government are inadequate, to maintain, except
through bond issues, such a reserve of gold coin as is required by law.
.The current redemption of the legal tender issues and the Treasury
issues under the act of 1890, and the reissuing instead of cancellation
of the same, must always create distrust of the Government's credit
abroad and at home, so long as the laws now upon the statute book
remain unchanged.
The General Government ought to be wholly free from direct issuing
and redeeming of notes to pass as money among the people. No
Government yet has ever successfully engaged in so doing, and the
experience of the United States has proven no exception to the rule.
The general cost and loss entailed upon the Government, the repeated
periods of uncertainty as to its credit, and the stability of our monetary
system have been so great as to make the legal tender and Treasury
issues of 1890 one of the extraordinary burdens placed upon the people.
The relief given in increasing the volume of the circulating medium
has been as nothing compared with the expense incident to maintaining the reserve in gold at all hazards necessary to keep intact the Government's credit and provide for their current redemption.
These issues ought to be redeemed and canceled, and the Government thus enabled to retire from the banking business—a business for
which it is so poorly adajvted and equipped. The intention of those

who first authorized the legal-tender issues was that it should so do at
the earliest practicable moment, and the discussion then carried on iu
Congress is replete with such protestations. The first Congressional
enactment signed by President Grant after his inauguration as Chief
Executive was one reasserting the determination of the Government to
preserve unquestioned the public faith, and the closing clause of it
was " And the United States also solemnly pledges its faith to make
provision at the earliest practicable period for the redemption of the
United States notes in coin."

Treasury can not now be undertaken, and the same conditions must
continue to weaken the country's credit aM plague the lines of business unless a means is devised for removing these issues from the
channel of current redemption until such time as the Government
finds itself in position to do that which at first was the intent of all—
gradually redeem and cancel them.
If the franchise is granted the banks of issuing circulating notes
against their assets instead of against a bond security, i t is suggested
that the banks in return should recompense the-Government by relieving the Treasury Department of the current redemption in coin of the
present Treasury issues. The ultimate redemption, of course, must fall
upon the Government, but the embarrassment does not arise from their
ultimate redemption but from their current.
It is therefore suggested that if Congress shall repeal the provisions
of the present act requiring the national banks to make a deposit of
Government bonds in order to secure circulating notes, and substitute
therefor a provision giving them instead the right to issue the same
against their assets, it incorporate therein and as a part thereof that
as a prerequisite to so doing the banks be compelled to deposit with the
Treasurer of the United States legal-tender issues, or issues under the
act of 1890, equal in amount to the difference between the percentage of
their capital stock of issues granted against their assets and the total
of such (capital stock. The deposit thus made ought to remain with the
Treasurer until the bank ceased either through voluntary or involuntary liquidation to do business, and in either case the Government
ought to then redeem and cancel such Treasury issues deposited. It
is only by such permanent deposit during the life of the bank that
the issues named can be removed from current presentation for
redemption.
As against this deposit of legal tenders and Treasury notes so made
there should be issued to the banks dollar for dollar of national-bank
notes, either of the same or different design, as might be deemed best,
that thus fixed the volume of the currency, as it is now contributed to by
the issues of the Government, would not be contracted so long at least
as the banks making such deposits are in existence. The bank notes
issued under the plan suggested should be exempt from any tax levied
on circulation to the same per cent that legal tender notes and Treasury
issues, under the act of 1890, are deposited against circulation. If 50
per cent of the circulation is so based then 50 per cent of the circulation should be exempt from circulation tax. To an equitable percentage
the bank should Jbe permitted to hold these notes as a part of their
reserve against deposit as they in part, would be based upon a deposit
of lawful money, which, under the present system, is the money which
must constitute such reserves.
The law should make it incumbent upon the banks to deposit in
the Treasury for the current redemption of such notes gold coin to an
36
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF* THE CURRENCY.
amount necessary to make sure the current redemption of them. The
Government should not undertake or in anywise become responsible
for the current redemption of these notes, Its responsibility should
end with its redemption of the notes deposited to secure such circulation, when the bank ceased to exist. At present u current redemption
fund of 5 per cent of the outstanding circulation is found sufficient, and
it is probable that in the future no greater amount would be required.
As already suggested, it is not deemed necessary to here enter into
a discussion of details. The principle, if correct, c&n be incorporated
into a law framed in such a manner as to meet any objections, be
just and equitable to all concerned, and while placing upon the banks
a daily burden now borne by the Government, give them just compensation in making circulation a source of legitimate and fair profit instead of
of loss. The elasticity of issue in national-bank circulation will be found
in the percentage ot issue against assets, subject to the necessary rate
of taxation and secured by an adequate safety fund to guarantee the
note holder against loss on account of the notes of insolvent banks and in
a current redemption fund maintainedfor daily-redemption. The Government will be aided, the bank given in exchange a dollar for every dollar
deposited, and thus relieved of the loss incident to depositing an amount
of its capital stock in excess of the return in notes granted it. No violent contraction of the currency would follow such a course, but whenever contraction would occur it would be not less gradual than would
at other times the expansion, incident thereto.
It is respectfully suggested that as a necessary element to the securing of proper elasticity of issue in our bank-note currency, section 9 of
the act of July 12, 1882, regulating the retirement and issuing of circulation to banks within a fixed period of time, should be repealed, and
also that such amendment should be made to the law as will necessitate
the banks keeping in the office of the Comptroller of the Currency a
sufficient amount of blank notes as will enable them to secure circulation at once, instead of after a period of delay, frequently of sufficient
duration as to make the issue unavailable to relieve the pressure existing at the time or ordering the same.
It has been suggested from many eminent financial sources that the
whole question of a banking and currency system ought to be referred
by Congress to a commission, created by the proper act, appointed by
the President, and clothed with proper authority. A commission, nonpartisan in its character, composed of men of eminent abilities, could
unquestionably devise a currency system sound in every part and one
which would commend itself to every interest of the country. It could
largely take the question out of politics and have it considered simply
in its business aspects and upon merit alone; but if the present Congress is to enact a law upon the subject the appointment of a commission could avail nothing. If, however, nothing more definite can be
accomplished, the question of the creation of such commission ought to
be considered and acted upon.
CONCLUSION.
In concluding this report the Comptroller desires to again bear testimony to the character and general efficiency of the employes in the
Bureau, to the examiners in the field, and to the work accomplished by
the receivers in relation to the trusts in their charge. The record of
the Bureau throughout the past year justifies these expressions of
praise.

ABATEMENT:
1. An action brought by the creditor of a national bank is abated by a decree
of a district or circuit court dissolving the corporation and forfeiting its
franchises. First National Banlc of IS elm a v. Colby, 21 Wall., 609.
2. A creditor's bill was filed against a national bank, before the passage of the
act of Congress of June 30, 1876 (19 St. at L., 63), and a receiver was
appointed, who took possession of the property of the bank. An amended
bill was filed in the cause, after the passage of that act, to secure the benefits of the act, to which all the stockholders were made parties. Subsequently the Comptroller of the Currency appointed a receiver to wind up
the affairs of tbe bank, and this suit was brought by him against one of
43

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
ABATEMENT—Continued.
the stockholders. Held, on demurrer to a plea in abatement, which set
forth these facts, that the defendant is entitled to judgment on the ground
that/as the stockholder's liability can be completely enforced in the suit
in equity, the general rule applies that a debtor shall not be vexed by two
suits in the same jurisdiction for the same cause of action. Harvey,
Receiver, etc., v. Lord, 10 Fed. Hep., 236.
ACCOMMODATION PAPER :
1. A national banking association cannot guarantee the paper of a customer for
his accommodation. Seliyman v. Charlottesville National Bank, 8 Hughes, 647.
2. The accommodation paper of a national banking association is void in the
hands of one who takes it with knowledge of its character. Johnson v.
Charloitesvillc National Bank, 3.Hughes, 657.
3. A national bnnk can not become an accommodation indorser. National Bank
of Commerce v. Atkinson, 55 Fed. lie})., 465.
ACTIONS : See Jurisdiction.
A. Solvent banks—
1. A national banking association is a foreign corporation within the meaning
of a State statute requiring corporations created by the laws of any other
State or country to give security for costs before prosecuting a suit in
the courts of tlie State ; National Bark Bank v. Gunst, 1 Abb. N. C, 292.
2. As a national banking association can acquire no title to negotiable paper
purchased by it, it can maintain no action thereon in a State where the
person suing must be owner of the paper. First National Bank of Rochester
v. Bierson, 24 Minn., 140.
•
m
3. A stockholder in a national bank cannot maintain an action at law against the
officers and directors thereof to recover damages for willful waste of the "
assets whereby the value of his shares was decreased and he became liable
to an assessment thereon. His remedy must be sought in equity. Ilirsh
v. Jones et al., 56 Fed. Rep., 137.
4. The provision of the banking law, section 5198, Rev. St., which requires
that actions brought against national banking associations in State
courts shall be brought in the county or city in which the association is
located, applies only to transitory actions. It was not intended to apply
to actions local in their character Casey v. Adams, 102 U. S., 66.
5. Under section 57 of act of 1864, suits may bo brought by, as well as against,
any association. Kennedy v. Gibson, 8 Wall., 498.
6. Actions local in their nature may be maintained in the proper State court
in a county or city other than that where it is established. Casey v.
Adams, 10%*U. 8., 66.
7. A national bank may be sued in any State, county, or municipal court in
county or city where located. Bank of Bethel v. Bahquioque Bank, 14
Wall.", 383.
8. Under the original act respecting national banks, and before the act of June
30, 1876, a court of equity had jurisdiction of suit to prevent or redress
maladministration or fraud against creditors, in voluntary liquidation of
such bank, whether contemplated or executed; and such suit by one
creditor must be for all. Richmond v. Irons, 121 U. S., 27.
B. Insolvent banks—
9. Suit may be brought against a national banking association though it is in
the hands of a receiver. Bank of Bethel v. Bahquioque Bank, 14 Wall., 383;
Security National Bank v. National Bank of the Commonwealth, 2 Hun,3 287;
Green v. The Wallkill National Bank, 7 Hun., 63.
10. A shareholder of a national banking association can not maintain an action
against the directors to recover damages sustained for neglect and mismanagement of the affairs of the association whereby it became insolvent
and its stock was rendered worthless. Such an action can be brought only
by the corporation itself. Conway v. Halsey, 15 Yroom., 462; Howe v.
Barney, 45 Fed. Rep., 668.
11. But where the receiver refuses to bring an action against negligent directors
to recover the amount which the shareholders have been compelled to
contribute to pay the debts of the association, an action against such
directors may be brought by a shareholder on behalf of himself and the
other shareholders. Nelson v. Burrows, 9 Abb. N. C, 280.
12. And when the receiver is a director and one of the parties charged with
misconduct and against whom a remedy is sought, the action may be
brought by a shareholder on behalf of himself and the other shareholders.
Brinckerhoff v, Bostwick, 88 N. ¥., 52.
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
45
ACTIONS—Contin ued.
13. A receiver may sue either in his own name or the name of the bank. National
Bank v. Kennedy, 17 Wall., 19.
14. Suits and proceedings under the act in which the United States or their
officers or agents are parties, whether commenced before or after the
appointment of a receiver, are to be conducted by the district attorney,
under the direction of the Solicitor of the Treasury. Bank of Bethel v.
Pahquioque Bank, 14 Wall., 883.
15. But section 380, Rev. St., is directory merely, and the employment of
private counsel by the receiver can not be made a ground of defense to a
suit brought by him. Ib.
16. Receivers may sue in the courts of the United States by virtue of the act,
without reference to the locality of their personal citizenship. Ib.
17. The provisions of the codes that every action must be brought in the name
of the real party in interest, except in the case of the trustee of an express
trust or of a person authorized by a statute to sue, does not apply to the
receiver of a national-banking association suing in a Federal court held
in a State which has adopted the code procedure; for the right of the
receiver to sue is derived from the national-banking law. Stanton v. Wilkeson, 8 Ben., 357.
18. Under section 1001, Rev. St.. no bond for the prosecution of the suit, or to
answer in damages or costs, is required on writs of error or appeals
issuing from or brought to the Supreme Court of the United States by
direction of the Comptroller of the Currency in suits by or against,
insolvent national-banking associations or the receivers thereof. Pacific
National Bank v. Mixter, 114 U. S., 463.
19. The Stato statute of limitations applies to a suit brought by the receiver of
a national bank against a shareholder to recover an assessment upon his
stock to pay the debts of the bank. Butler v. Poole, 44 Fed. Hep., 586.
20. Whether a suit against a director for negligent performance of his duties, as
required by the statutes of the United States and the by-laws of the association, will survive against the executor or administrator depends upon
State laws. Witters v. Foster, 25 Fed. Hep., 737.
21. Such, action is not prescribed by the limitation of one year in Louisiana.
Case v. .Bank, 100 U. $., 446.
22. On a bill filed by receiver against stockholders under section 50, where bank
fails to pay its notes, action by Comptroller must precede institution of
suit by receiver, and be set forth therein. Kennedy v. Gibson, 8 Wall., 498.
23. Creditors of the bank are not proper parties to such bill. Ib.
24. A compromise of a suit by the receiver of a national bank and counsel for the
United States will not be opened after a delay of seven years, no fraud
being shown. Henderson v. Myers, 11 Phil a., 616; 3 N. B. C, 759.
25. An action may be brought against a national bank, notwithstanding a
receiver of it has been appointed. Security Bank of New York v. National
Bank of the Commonwealth, 4 Thompson ty Cook, 518; 1 N. B. C, 774. Green
v. TheWallkill National Bank, 7 Hun., 63; 1 N. B. C, 786.
AGENT OF SHAREHOLDERS:
1. The Federal courts have the same jurisdiction of suits by and against th6.
"agents'' of national banks appointed under the national-banking actso*
Congress, when the " receivers" of an insolvent bank have been displaced
by such " agents/ 7 as they have of suits by and against the "receivers" of
such banks, each being in the same sense officers of the United States,
and each representing in precisely the same relation the bank in its corporate cax>acity; and 1 his jurisdiction attaches without regard to any
diversity of citizenship of the parties or the amounts involved. McConville.v. Gilmout et ah, 36 Fed. Bep., 217.
2. When the receiver of an insolvent national bank has been displaced by an
"agent" appointed under the acts of Congress in that behalf, it is proper
practice to substitute, upon motion, the "agent" as the plaintiff on the
record in place of the "receiver" in a suit already commenced by the
latter. Ib.
ASSESSMENT: See Insolvent banks; Receiver; Shareholders; Transfer of stock.
1. Where national-banking association is insolvent, order of Comptroller of
Currency, declaring to what extent tlie individual liability of stockholders shall be enforced, is conclusive. Kennedy v. Gibson, 8 Wall., 498; Casey
v. Galli, 94 U. S., 673; National Bank v. Case, 99 U. S., 628.
2. Payments of assessments by stockholder in national bank on increased stock
can not be applied, in law or in equity, to discharge assessments by Comp-
46
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
ASSESSMENT—Continued.
troller in final liquidation of the bank. Pacific National Bank v. Eaton,
. 141 U. S., 227; Thayer v. Butler, Ib., "234; Butler v. Eaton, 11)., 240.
3. The assessments made by the Comptroller upon the shareholders of an insolvent association bear interest from the date of the order. Casey v. Galli,
94 U. S., 673.
4. Where shareholders have assessed themselves to the amount of the par value
of the stock for the purpose of restoring impaired capital, the contributions made in pursuance of such assessment, though all used in paying
the debts of the association, will not so operate as to discharge the shareholders from their individual liability. Delano v. Butler, 118 U. S.,634.
5. Where a married woman is by the State law capable of holding stock in a
national bank in her own right she is liable to an assessment upon her
shares, though the law of the State does not authorize married women
to bind themselves by contracts for the payment of money. The ]aw
annexes her obligations by its own force; no act or capacity to act on her
part is required. Witters v. Sowles, 32 Fed. Rep., 767; 35 Fed. Hep., 640.
6. Married women who are permitted by the laws of the State in which they
reside to become shareholders in national banks, are liable to assessments
under the national-banking laws. In re First National Bank of St. Albans,
49 Fed. licp.y 120.
7. The coverture of a married woman, who is a shareholder in a national bank,
does not prevent the receiver of the bank from recovering judgment
against her for the amount of an assessment levied upon the shareholders
equally and ratably under the statute. Keyser v. Hitz, 133 V. S.t 138.
8. It is not essential, in an action to enforce the individual liability of the shareholders of an insolvent national-.banking association, to aver and prove
that the assessment was necessary; for the decision of the Comptroller on
this point is conclusive. Strong v. Southworth, 8 Ben., 331; Kennedy v.
Gibson, 8 Wall., 498; Casey v. Galli, 94 U. JS., 673.
9. And the fact that the title to the stock of a deceased shareholder vests in
his administrator does not relieve the estate from the burden of an assessment. Davis v. Weed, 44 Conn., 569.
10. Nor will the fact that the administration is complete, and all the assets have
been distributed, defeat an action brought to recover the assessment. Ib.
11. The question whether there is a deficiency of assets, and when it is necessary to enforce the individual liability of shareholders, is for the Comptroller to determine; and his decision in this matter is final and conclusive. Kennedy v. Gibson, 8 Wall., 498; National Bank v. Case, 99 U. S.,
628; Casey v. Galli, 94 V. S., 673.
12. The amount contributed by each shareholder should bear the same proportion to the whole amount of the deficit as his own stock bears to the
whole amount of the capital stock at its par value. And the solvent
shareholders can not be made to contribute more than their proportion to
make good the deficiency caused by the insolvency of other shareholders.
United States v. Knox, 102 U. S., 422.
13. Where, to discharge liabilities of an insolvent bank, Comptroller assessed
against shareholders a sufficient per cent on par value of stock held by
each, some being insolvent, he can not provide for deficiency by new
assessment. Ib.
14. The estate of a deceased owner of national-bank stock is liable (Rev. St.,
sec. 5152) to an assessment levied against his executors in consequence of
the failure of the bank after his death. Wickham v. Hidl et al., 60 Fed.
Hep., 326.
15. An action was brought against the executors of an estate to'establish its
liability for an assessment on certain shares of national-bank stock. The
estate was at the time in possession of an Iowa probate court for purposes
of administration, for which reason the Federal court could not enforce
the liability, if adjudged to exist. Defendants set up the limitation contained in the Iowa statute (Code, sec. 2421) regulating the settlement of
estates: Held, That the Federal court would not pass upon the question
whether this provision debarred complainant from sharing in the estate,
for, as the claim established in the Federal court must be presented for
allowance in the probate proceedings, the better practice was to remit the
question to the probate court. Ib.
16. Where a national bank issues certificates of its shares to a subsequent
purchaser in lieu of the certificates of the prior owner, without observing its by-law in regard to a. transfer on its books, so far as creditors of
the bank are concerned a party taking and holding such shares of stock

17. One to whom stock has been transferred in pledge or as collateral security
for money loaned, and who appears on the books of the corporation as the
owner of the stock, is liable as a stockholder for the benefit of creditors.
Where the owner, holder, or pledgee of stock transfers it out and out for
the purpose of escaping liability as a shareholder to one who is unable to
meet such liability, or when the transfer is colorable and not absolute the
transfer is ineffective as to creditors, and the transferor will be still liable.
Therefore, when the G. bank loaned money and took as collateral therefor shares of stock in the C. bank, which were duly transferred' in the
books of the C. bank, and afterward the G. bank transferred these shares
to one of its clerks with an understanding that he should re-transfer on
request, and the C. bank was then in failing condition, Held that the G.
bank was liable to contribute as a stockholder to the debts of the C. bank.

N. B. €., 25.
18. A letter addressed to the receiver, and signed by the Comptroller of the Currency, directing him to institute legal proceedings to enforce the individual
liability of every stockholder, under the statute, is sufficient evidence that
the Comptroller decided, before the suit, that it was necessary to enforce
the personal liability of the stockholders. Boivden v. Johnson, 107 U. S.f
251; 3 N. B. C, 55.
19. The liability of the stockholders bears interest from the date of said letter.

20. Under the national banking act the individual liability of the stockholder
survives as against the personal representatives of a deceased stockholder.
Richmond v. Irons, 121 U. S., 27; 3 N. B. C, 211.
21. A stockholder sold certain stock several months before the insolvency of the
bank, but the transfer was not made on the books till the date of the
bank's failure. Held, that the stockholder incurred the statutory liability.
Ib.
22. Fifty shares of the stock of a national bank were transferred to F. on the
books of the bank October 29. A certificate therefor was made out, but
not delivered to him. He knew nothing of the transfer, and did not
authorize it to be made. On October 30 he was appointed a director and
vice-president. On November 21 he was authorized to act as cashier. He
acted as vice-president and cashier from that day. On December 12 he
bought and paid for 20 other shares. On January 2 following, while the
bank was insolvent, a dividend on its stock was fraudulently made, and
$1,750 therefor placed to the credit of F. on its books. He, learning on that
day of the transfer of the 50 shares, ordered D., the president of the bank,
who had directed the transfer of the 50 shares, to re-transfer it, and gave
to D. his check to the order of D. individually for $1,250 of the $1,750.
The bank failed January 22. In a suit by the receiver of the bank against
F. to recover the amount of an assessment of 100 per cent by the Comptroller of the Currency in enforcement of the individual liability of the
shareholders, and to recover the $1,750, Held, first, in view of provisions of
sections 5146, 5147, and 5210, Rev. St., it must be presumed conclusively
that F. knew, from November 21, that the books showed he held 50
shares; second, F. did not get rid of his liability for $1,250 by giving
to D. his check for that sum in fa*, or of D. individually. Finn v. Brown,
142 U. S.f 56.
23. In winding up an insolvent national bank, the Comptroller of the Currency
is vested with authority to determine "when a deficiency of assets exists,
so that the individual liability of the stockholders may be enforced, and
no appeal lies from his decision. Bailey v. Sawyer, IN. B. C, 356; 4 Dill.,
463.
24. The liability of a stockholder of a national bank is several, and is fixed by
his taking stock in the corporation. Ib.

27. With a bequest of money a religious society purchased, and held in its own
name, shares in a national bank. The society had other donations otherwise invested. Held, that the society was not a trustee, but an ordinary
stockholder, and liable to assessment for debts of the insolvent bank. Ib.

28. One who procures a transfer to himself, on the hooks of a national hank, of
stock in such hank, becomes liable for the engagements of the bank as
prescribed in the national bank act, although such stock was pledged to
him by the owner simply as security for a debt. Moore v. Jones, 3 Woods,
29. One in whose name shares of the stock of a national bank stand on the bank
books is subject to the individual liability of a shareholder, although his
holding of the stock was originally as collateral security for a loan, and
the loan has been repaid and the stock certificate surrendered with an
executed
power of*attorney for transfer. Bowdell v. Fanners and Merchants7 National Bank of Baltimore, 14 Bankers' Magazine, 387; 2 JST. B. C,
146.
30. The determination of the Comptroller as to the necessity of an assessment
on stockholders of an insolvent national bank for the payment of debts is
conclusive, and in a suit to enforce such an assessment the necessity need
not he alleged. Strong, Receiver, v. Southworth, 8 Ben., 331; 2 N. B. C., 172.
31. S. bought shares in a national bank and caused them to be transferred to E.r
who was in his employ, S. remaining the real owner. Held, that S. was
liable as stockholder upon the failure of the bank. Davis, Receiver, v.
Stevens, 20 Alb. I. J. 400; 2 X. B. C, 158.
32. In an action by the receiver of a national bank to enforce the liability of
a shareholder, it appeared that the date of the defendant's subscription
to the stock was prio to May, 1866, when the receiver was appointed;
that the Comptroller c ? the Currency decided on the 28th of June, 1876,
that the enforcement o^ this liability to its full extent was necessary, and
instructed the receiver iccordingly, and that this action was thereupon
brought. Held, that although such decision and order of the Comptroller
were necessary preliminaries to a suit against the shareholder, yet, having
been delayed "without sufficient apparent reason for more than six years
from the date of the subscription, the statute of limitations was a bar to
the action, the State courts having decided that an act necessarily preliminary to the commencement of a suit upon a contract must be done
within six years, unless sufficient reason for the delay is shown. Price,
Receiver, v.' Yates, 19 Alb. L. J., 295; 2 N. B. C, 204.
33. A court has no power, under sec. 5324, U. S. Rev. St., to order the receiver
of a national bank to compound debts which are not "bad or doubtful;"
and a composition under such an order of debts not "bad or doubtful,"
as the debt of a shareholder arising on his subscription to the stock, is
ineffectual. Jb.
34. A stockholder of an insolvent national bank, who happens also to be one of
its creditors, can not cancel or diminish the assessment to which the provisions of sec. 5151, Rev. St., make him liable by offsetting his individual
claim against it. Hobart, Receiver, etc., v. Gould, 8 Fed. Rep., 57.
35. Section 5151, Rev. St., among other things, provides that the shareholders
of every national banking association shall be held individually responsible for all contracts, etc., to the extent of the amount of their stock
therein, at the par value thereof, in addition to the amount invested iu
such shares. Held, that, upon the insolvency of such a bank a shareholder,
who happens to be one of its creditors, can not cancel or diminish the
assessment to which the provisions of this section make him liable, by
offsetting his individual claim against it. Ib.
36. The liability which shareholders in national banks incur under section 12 of
the act of 1864, which provides for a liability " to the extent of the amount
of their stock therein, at the par value thereof, in addition to the amount
invested in such shares," is that of principals, not of sureties^ Hobart,
. Receiver, etc., v. Johnson, 8 Fed. Rep., 493.
37. Such a liability is not one on a "promise to pay the debt, or answer for the
default or liability, of any other person," within the meaning of the proviso to section 5 of the Revised Statutes of New Jersey of 1874, p. 469. Ib.
38. On the principle of estoppel, one can not take advantage of certain statutory
provisions without incurring thereby the attendant liabilities. Ib.
39. Under sec. 5151, Rev. St., owners of stock in a national hank are liable for
its debts, and persons who hold themselves out or allow themselves to be
held out as owners of stock are also liable, whether they own stock or not.
Case, Receiver, v. Small et ah, 10 Fed. Rep., 722.

41. After a national bank has become insolvent and has closed its doors for business, its shareholders' liability to creditors is so far fixed that any transfer
of their shares must be held fraudulent and inoperative as against the
creditors of the bank. Irons et al. v. Manufacturers' National Bank of Chicago et al., 17 Fed. Sep.,- 308.
42. The Pacific National Bank of Boston was organized in October, 1877, with a
capital of $250,000, with the right to increase it to $1,000,000. In November, 1879, its capital was raised to $500,000; September 13,1881, the directors voted to increase the capital to $1,000,000. On November 18, 1881,
the bank suspended. On December 13, 1881, the directors voted that as
$38,700 of the increase of capital stock had not been paid in the capital
be fixed at $961,300, and the Comptroller of Currency was notified to
that effect, and he notified the bank, under Rev. St., sec. 5205, to pay a
deficiency on its capital stock by an assessment of 100 per cent. At the
annual meeting the assessment was voted, and on March 18, 1881, with
consent of the Comptroller and the approval of the directors and the
examiner, the bank resumed business, and continued until May 20, 1881,
when it again suspended and was put in the hands of a receiver. Prior
to May 20, 1882, $742,800 of the voluntary assessment had been paid
in. Complainant was the owner of twenty-five shares of stock on September 13,1881, and after the vote to increase the stock took twenty-five
shares, for which he paid $2,500 on October 1,1881, and received a certificate. He voted for the assessment at the annual meeting, and in
February, 1882, paid the assessment on the old and new stock, and subsequently sought to enjoin the suit at law against him by the receiver to
enforce his individual liability as a stockholder, under Rev. St., sec 5151,
on the ground that the increase of capital was illegal and void, and that
the voluntary assessment, under Rev. St., sec. 5205, relieved the stockholders of individual liability: Reid, That he was not entitled to relief,
and the bill should be dismissed. Morrison v. Price, Receiver, 23 Fed. Rep.,
217.
43. A discharge in bankruptcy releases a shareholder of a national bank from
his statutory individual liability to creditors of the bank, where, at the
time of his discharge, the claims of such creditors
were provable, not
merely contingent. Irons et al. v. Manufacturers1 National Bank et al., 27
Fed. Rep., 591.
44. When bank stock was sold, but not transferred on the books of the bank,
and the bank afterwards failed, the executors of the person in whose
name the stock stood on the books were held liable for assessment,
although said stock had been paid for by a purchaser buying at the request
of the president of the bank, who gave him a cashier's check for that purpose, placing the money so furnished to the credit of said purchaser on
the books of the bank as a temporary loan, the intention being ultimately
to transfer said shares to a third party as part of a larger proposed investment in stock, for which funds had been placed in the hands of the president of the bank. Price, Receiver, v. Whitney et al., 28 Fed. Rep., 297.
45. Defendant subscribed for new stock in the reorganization of a bank, and
received a certificate on the basis of a total subscription of $500,000. The
actual increase was $461,300. He protested against the same, and refused
to vote on the stock, but retained his certificate until the bank went into
the hands of a receiver several months later: Meld, That he was liable to
the receiver on his subscription, and it was too late to claim that the
increase as to him was invalid. Butler, Receiver, v. Aspinwall, 33 Fed.
Rep., 217.
46. A pledgee of shares of stock in a national bank, who does not appear by the
books of the bank or otherwise to be the owner, is not liable for an
assessment upon the shares on the insolvency of the bank, under Rev. St.,
sec. 5151, rendering shareholders liable for the debts of the association
to the extent of the par value of their stock. Welles v. Larrabee et al.,
36 Fed. Rep., 866.
47. One to whom the shares are assigned in trust as security for a debt due a
third person, and following whose name on the stock book of the bank is
the word " trustee/' is not liable for the assessment under section 5151,
and is also within the provision of section 5152, exempting from such
liability persons holding stock as trustees. Ib.
48. In an action by the receiver of an insolvent national bank to recover of a

worthless by an examiner; that certain of the stockholders, including
defendant, had raised a fund which was placed in the hands of trustees
to apply so much as might be from time to time required ]py the Comptroller to retire such securities; that the fund was deposited with the
bank with full notice of the purpose to which it was to be applied; that
a portion had been used to retire the securities designated, and that when
tho bank failed, tho balance of the fund came into the hands of the
receiver, and was now claimed by him as a part of the ordinary assets of
the bank; that a certain portion of this balance belonged to defendant,
which amount he asked to set off against plaintiffs demand: Held, That
a general demurrer based on the ground that no set-off or counterclaim
was available in such an action would be overruled, as the claim could be
set off if it was of such a nature that tho holder would be entitled to
receive the full amount before distribution by the receiver to general
creditors. Welles v. Stout, 38 Fed. Rep., 807.
Where a shareholder of a national bank makes a bona tide sale of his stock
and goes with the purchaser to the bank, indorses the certificate, and
delivers it to the cashier of the bank with directions to make tho transfer
on the books, he has done all that is incumbent upon him to discharge
his liability, and he is not liable, though the cashier failed to make the
-transfer, upon the subsequent suspension of the bank for an assessment
made by the Comptroller of the Currency, under Rev. St., sec. 5151, to
pay tho bank's debts. Hayes v. Shoemaker, 39 Fed. Rep., 319.
Defendant, for the purpose of helping a bank, of which complainant was a
stockholder, in a financial crisis, loaned it certain securities belonging to
complainant, and when complainant was informed of the fact she did not
object. She was assured by the bank's officers that if the bank was saved
the securities would bo returned, and if it failed the avails would be
credited on her assessment as a stockholder. The bank failed, and the
securities were not returned: Held, That she was not entitled, as against
other creditors, to set off the value of the securities against her assessment, but was, as to such value, on the same footing as any other creditor.
Sowles v. Witters et al., 89 Fed. Rep., 403.
One who subscribes and pays for a specified number of shares of a ilproposed
increase" of the capital stock of a national bank, which increase is in
fact never issued, and to whom tho bank officials transfer, instead, old
stock of the bank without his knowledge or consent, is not a "shareholder " within the meaning of Rev. St., sec. 5151, imposing individual
liability on the shareholders for the debts of national banks. Stephens
v.. Follettet al., 43 Fed. Rep., 842.
The fact that the subscriber for the new shares received a dividend on the
old shares so transferred to him does not estop him from denying his
liability as a shareholder, where such dividend was received in the belief
that it was paid to him by virtue of his subscription to the new stock. Ib.
A person who becomes a stockholder in a national bank thereby submits
himself to the provisions of the national-bank act, and becomes liable to
be assessed to the extent of his statutory liability for all debts of the
bank existing while he holds his stock. Young v. Wempe et al., 46 Fed.
Rep., 354.
In an action by the receiver of a national bank to enforce an assessment under
Rev. St., sec. 5151, against one credited on the transfer books as a stockholder, it appeared that nearly a year before the failure he had sold his
stock to a broker for an undisclosed principal, that he indorsed the
same, and requested the broker to inform the cashier of the transaction,
and to have the stock transferred; that the broker accordingly handed the
stock to the cashier, gave him the necessary information, and requested
him to make the transfer. This the cashier promised to do, but in fact the
transfer was never made. The certificate recited that it was transferable
on tho books of the company "by indorsement hereon and surrender of
this certificate:" Held, That in requesting the cashier to make the transfer the broker acted as the seller's agent, and that the latter did all that
was required of him as a prudent business man, and could not be held
liable as a stockholder. Young v. McKay, 50 Fed. Rep., 394.
A Federal court will not, even if it has the power under Rev. St., sec.
5234, grant an order authorizing a receiver of a. national bank to compound tho statutory liability of certain stockholders by accepting payment of a gross sum, less than is due, in satisfaction and discharge thereof,
although more money would thus be realized than by proceedings to collect the same in tho usual way, when it appears probable that such stock-

Bank of San Diego, 53 Fed. Rep., 38.
A person who is entered on the books of a national bank as the owner of
stock, but who is admitted to hold the stock in trust for the true owner,
is not liable as a stockholder for the debts of the bank, when the true
owner has been adjudged so liable, although nothing is realized upon the
execution of such judgment. Yardley v. Wilgus, 56 Fed. Rep., 965.
When the full personal liability of shareholders is to be enforced the action
must be at law. Kennedy v. Gibson, 8 Wall., 498; Casey v, Galli, 94 U. S.,
678.
And it may be at law, though the assessment is not for the full value of the
shares; for, since the sum each shareholder must contribute is a certain
exact sum, there is no necessity for invoking the aid of a court of equity.

But a pledgee of shares of stock in a national bank who in good faith and
with no fraudulent intent takes the security for his benefit in the name of
an irresponsible trustee for the avowed purpose of avoiding individual
liability as a shareholder, and who exercises none of the powers or rights
of a stockholder, incurs no liability as such to creditors of the bank in
case of its failure. Anderson, receiver, v. Warehouse Company, 111^ U. S., 479.

The individual liability of the stockholders must be restricted in its meaning
to such contracts, debts, and engagements of the association as have been
duly contracted in the ordinary
course of its business. And, therefore,
creditors of an association wrho make settlements after the association is put
into liquidation and receive from the president payment of their claims in
paper of the association, or of the individual notes of the president himself, indorsed or guaranteed in the name of the association, are not to be
considered as creditors of the association entitled to subject the stockholders to individual liability; for these are new contracts. Richmond v.
Irons, 121 U. 8., 27.
The individual liability of the stockholders is enforcible only in behalf of
all the creditors, and any security given by a stockholder for his liability
in this respect should likewise be for the benefit of all tho creditors.
Accordingly, a mortgage of all the individual property of a stockholder,
made after the bank has closed its doors, for the purpose of securing a
single depositor, is void as against a judgment obtained against such stockholder in an action by the receiver to recover tho amount of his individual
liability. Gatch v. Fitch, 34 Fed. Rep., 566.
Bill filed by receiver against transferrer and transferee to enforce such liability will lie where it is for discovery as well as relief, as the transfer
would be good between the parties. Boivden v. Johnston, 107 U. S., 251,
A shareholder in a national bank, who is liable for its debts, is liable for
interest thereon to the extent of tho bank's liability, and not in excess of
the maximum liability fixed by statute. Richmond v. Irons, 121 U. S., 27.
The creditors of an insolvent association must seek their remedy through the
Comptroller, in the mode prescribed by the statute; they can not proceed
directly in their own names against stockholders or the debtors of tho
bank. Kennedy v. Gibson, 8 Wall., 498.
Each shareholder of a national banking association is individually liable
for its debts to the extent of the amount of his stock at its par value, in
addition to the amount invested in the shares held by him, and a receiver
appointed to wind up the affairs of such an association that has become
iinsolvent is authorized, under tho direction of the Comptroller of tho
Currency, to enforce the Liability of its stockholders, and to collect from
each of them the necessary amount, up to the extent of his liability, for
the payment of the creditors. King et al. v. Armstrong, Receiver; 34 N> E.}

ATTACHMENT :
A Solvent banks—
1. The stock of a shareholder indebted to it may be attached by the association
and sold on execution. Hager v. Union National Bank, 63 Me., 509.
2. No State court can issue an attachment against the funds of a national bank.
Although the provision forbidding attachments was evidently made to
secure equality among the general creditors in the division of the proceeds of the property of an insolvent bank, its operation is by no means
confined to cases of actual or contemplated insolvency; but the remedy is
taken away altogether and can not be used under any circumstances. The
effect of the provision in sec. 5242, Rev. St., is to write into all State
attachment laws an exception in favor of national banks, and all such
laws must be read as if they contained an exception in favor of national
banks. Pacific National*Bank v. Afixter, 124 U. S., 721.
3. No attachment can issue from United States circuit court in an action against
a national bank before final judgment in the cause, and a bond given on
such attachment is illegal. Ib.
4. An attachment can issue against a national bank from a State court. Robinson v. National Bank of Newbern, 58 How. Pr., 306; 2 N. B. C., 309.
5. The provision of the national banking act that attachments, injunctions, etc.,
shall not be issued by State courts against national banks before final
judgment, relates only to actions against banks where the action is
brought, and not to cases where the action is against a nonresident corporation. South wick:v. The First National Bank of Memphis, 7 Htm., 96; 1

before final judgment, whether such bank be located in this State or not.
Central National Bank v. Richland National Bank, 52 Howard, 136; 1 N. B.

8. The provision of the national banking act prohibiting attachments in such
cases is not repealed by the act of Congress of July 12, 1883, providing
that the jurisdiction for suits thereafter brought against national banks
shall be the same as for suits against State banks, and repealing laws
inconsistent therewith. Ray nor v. Pacific National Bank, 93 N. Y., 371;
3 N. B. C, 624.
9. An unrecorded transfer of national-bank stock will take precedence of a subsequent attachment in behalf of a creditor without notice. Continental
National Bank v. Eliot National Bank ct al., 7 Fed. Rep., 369.
10. The loss of interest occasioned by an attachment wrongfully laid is clearly
an injury for which damages are recoverable against the wrongdoer.
Jacobus v. Monongahela National Bank of Brownsville, 35 Fed. Rep., 895.
11. Where shares of corporation stock are attached, the subsequently declared
dividends are as much bound by the attachment as the corpus of the stock
itself is. Ib.
12. Counsel fees and other expenses (not taxable as costs) paid or incurred in
defending against an attachment wrongfully laid are not recoverable as
damages in an action upon a statutory recognizance given when the attachment was issued, conditioned for the payment to the party aggrieved of
"such damages as the cour^ may adjudge/' Ib.
B. Insolvent banks—
13. When a creditor attaches the property of an insolvent bank he can not hold
such property against the claim of a receiver appointed after the attachment suit was commenced. Such creditor must share pro rata with all
others. First National Bank of Selma v. Colby, 21 Wall., 609; Harvey v.
Allen, 16 Blatch., 29,
14. Sureties on attachment bond against national bank who have received assets
of the bank to secure them from loss thereon, the obligation being illegal,
will be discharged in equity and be compelled to transfer their collateral

a gainst its property in this State will be vacated upon proof of its insolvency. Ib.
20. The defendant, a national bank at Boston, Mass., on November 18, 1881,
closed its doors and was put in charge of a Government bank examiner,
and thus continued till March 14, 1882, when the Comptroller allowed it
to resume. It transacted business till May 22, 1882, when it was placed
in the hands of a receiver. An attachment was issued in this action
November 19, 1881, against defendant's property in this State. At that
time its assets would have paid its debts and liabilities exclusive of its
capital, but it had refused to pay various legal obligations then due.
Held, That defendant had committed acts of insolvency within U. S.
Rev. St., sec. 5242, and the attachment should be vacated. Market
National Bank of New York v. Pacific National Bank of Boston, 30 Hun., 50;
3 N. B. C, 672.
21. Bank property attached by individual creditor after bank is insolvent can
not be sold to pay his demand against the claim of a receiver subsequently
appointed. National Bank v. Colby, 21 Wall., 609.
BONDS OF OFFICERS:
1. It is not necessary that national-banking associations shall signify their
approval of the official bonds of their officers by memoranda entered upon
the journals or minutes of the directors. The acceptance is to be presumed from the retention of the bond, and from the fact that the officer
is permitted to enter upon or continue in the discharge of his duties.
Graves v. The Lebanon National Bank, 10 Bush., 23.
2. Where the sureties of an officer can reasonably be presumed to have been
deceived by the statement of the condition of the bank published j list
prior to the execution of the bond, and to have been led to think that there
was no deficit, whereas there had been a misapplication of a large part of
the funds by the officer whose bondsmen they became, which fact would
have been ascertained had the directors exercised ordinary diligence, the
sureties are discharged from their liability. Ib.
3. A surety on the bond of a cashier of a national bank is not discharged by the
fact that the cashier had, before the bond was given, committed frauds
upon the bank, if such frauds were unknown to the officers of the bank,
although they were guilty of gross negligence in not discovering them.
Tapleij v. Martin, 116 Mass., 275; 1 N. B. C., 611.
4. The engagement of a surety is a direct original agreement with the oblig^ee
that in the event his principal fails he will perform the original obligation, and whether it is entered into jointly with the principal OL* separately, the extent and character of the obligation are the same as to both,
depending only upon the form in which it is expressed. La Eose et al. v.
The Logansport National Bank et al., 102 Ind., 382.
5. The contract of obligors, whether entered into separately or jointly with the
principal, if by its terms it appears that the principal is separately bound
by an original, independent contract, to which the contract for security
is collateral, and the obligors agree therein that the principal will pay or
perform according to his original engagement, and that they will answer
for his default in the event of failure, is a contract of guaranty. Ib.
6. The contract of the sureties in the bond of a bank cashier, conditioned for
the faithful discharge of his duties by such cashier, is a contract of
guaranty. Ib.
7. A failure to give notice to guarantors of the default of their principal, except
in cases governed by commercial rules, is a matter of defence, and resulting
damages must concur with such failure in order to work a discharge. Ib.

BONDS OF OFFICERS—Continued.
8. Where by a by-law of a bank its cashier is made responsible for the funds
and valuables of the bank, it can not be implied, that his bond would not
become operative until all the other officers and employe's were denied
access to such funds and valuables, nor that he is responsible for losses
which may occur through the delinquencies of others. Ib.
9. The bond of a bank cashier, executed and approved two weeks after he enters
upon his duties, is upon sufficient consideration, and is operative, at least
from the date of its approval. Ib.
10. The knowledge by an employer of the misconduct of au employ6 whose
conduct and fidelity have been guaranteed by another, which will, if concealed, release the guarantor, must relate to the service in which the
employe is engaged, and must be something more than mere moral delinquency, unconnected with the subject-matter of the guaranty. Ib.
11. A continuing contract, guaranteeing the fidelity of a bank cashier, may be
revoked by the guarantors without cause, upon proper notice, but tho
right must be exercised reasonably. Ib.
BOOKS, INSPECTION OF :
1. Code of Alabama, 1886, sec. 1677, which provides that stockholders of all
corporations have the right to have access to and inspection and examination of the books, records, and papers cf the corporation at all reasonable
and proper times, applies to national banks located within the State; and
mandamus will lie against the officer having custody of the books to
enforce the right. Winter v. Baldwin, 7 So., 734; 89 Ala., 483.
2. The rights of stockholders are not curtailed nor the statute in conflict with
.IT. S. Rev. St., which provide that national banks shall not be subject to
visitorial powers other than those authorized by Congress or vested in the
courts of justice. Ib.
3. The officers of a national bank can not bo compelled to exhibit the books of
the bank to State officers for the purpose of furnishing a basis for State
taxation of the deposits as against the depositors. First National Bank of
Youngstown v. Hughes, et ah; Second National Bank v. Do., 2 N. B. C, 176.
BRANCH BANKS:
1. A national bank located in another State can not keep an office for discount
and deposit in New York, and can not maintain an action upon a note discounted at such office. National Bank of Fairhaven v. The Phoenix Warehousing Co., 6 Hun., 71; 1 N. B. C, 784.
2. Under Rev, St., sec. 5190, providing that "the usual business of each nationalbanking association shall be transacted.at an office or banking house located in the place specified in its organization certificate," a national bank
can not make a valid contract for the cashing of checks upon it at a
different place from that of its residence, through the agency of another
bank. Armstrong v. National Bank of Springfield, 38 Fed. Bep., 883.
BROKER:
A national-banking association is not authorized to act as a broker or agent in
the purchase of bonds and stocks. First National Bank of Allentown v.
Hoch, 80 Penn. St., 324; Wcckler v. The First National Bank of Eagerstown,
42 Md., $81.
CAPITAL STOCK: See Shareholders; Transfer of stock.
A. In general—#
1. A national bank can acquire an interest in its own stock only by purchase to
prevent a loss upon a debt previously contracted in good faith; and a provision in certificates of stock in such bank that they shall not be transferred until all the liabilities of the stockholder to tho bank are paid is
void and of no effect. Conklin v. The Second National Bank, 45 N. Y., 655;
1 N. B. C.y 693.
2. Where a national bank made a loan, upon the pledge of its own shares and
v
afterwards sold the shares to obtain payment of the loan which exceeded
the amount realized from the shares: Held, That the owner of the shares
could not, on the ground that the statute forbids a national bank to take
its own shares as security, recover from tho bank the amount realized upon
the sale of the shares. First National Bank of Xenia v. Stewart, 107 U. S.,
676; 3 N. B. C, 96.
3. The articles of association and the by-laws of a national bank prohibited the
transfer of"stock owned by any stockholder indebted to the bank until
such indebtedness should be satisfied: Held, That the prohibition was
invalid, under section 35 of the National Banking Act, and that the bank
could not thus acquire a lien on the shares of the stockholders. Billiard
v. Bank, IS Wall.. 589: 1 N. B. C . 93.

CAPITAL STOCK—Continued.
B. Increase—
4. National banks have no authority to increase their capital stock except as
provided by Rev. St., sec. 5142. and act of Congress May 6, 1886; and
where an increase is attempted to be made without obtaining the consent
of two-thirds of the stock, the payment in full of the amount of such
increase, and the certificate and approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, as required by those statutes, the proceedings are invalid, and preliminary subscriptions to such increase can not bo enforced.
Winters v. Armstrong; Armstrong v. Stanage; Samev. Wood, 37 Fed. Rep., SOS.
5. Such a subscription is impliedly conditioned on the subscription of the
whole amount of the proposed increase and on the compliance by the
corporation with all the requirements of the statute necessary to make
the increase stock valid, and in case of non compliance with such
requirements there is a failure of consideration. II).
6. In an action by the receiver of a national bank to enforce subscriptions to a
proposed increase of its capital stock, an allegation that the bank, subsequent to defendants' subscriptions, and with their knowledge, represented
to the public by means of circulars, letter-heads, etc., that its capital stock
had been so increased and that defendants allowed their names to remain
''upon the list of those subscribing for and entitled to such new or
increase of stock, v but without alleging that the public gave credit to the
bank on the faith that the defendants were part owners of such increase
of stock, or that they allowed themselves to bo held out as actual stockholders, does not show that they are estopped to plead the failure of the
bank to comply with the statutory requirements in perfecting such
increase. Ib.
7. The receiver stands in the shoes of the bank, and can assert no rights against
the subscribers which the bank could not have asserted. Ib.
8. A subscriber who has made payments on his subscription to the proposed
increase, believing that the statutory requirements would bo complied
with, is entitled to have the amount thereof allowed as a claim against the
assets of the bank in the receiver's hands. Ib.
,9. Where one subscribes for shares in the increase of the capital of a nationalbanking association in a certain amount, such subscription and payment
are upon the implied condition that the increase shall be in the exact
amount so fixed; and if such amount is changed, the subscriber may avoid
the subscription and recover the amount paid in. Eaton v. Pacific Bank,
144 Mass., 260.
10. And the certificate of the Comptroller of the Currency that the amount of
the increase in another sum has been paid in, which amount includes what
was paid by the dissenting subscriber, will not be conclusive upon such
subscriber. Ib.
11. But if such subscriber has assented to or ratified the change he will be held
a shareholder. Delano v. Butler, 118 TJ. 8., 634.
12. When the previous proceedings looking to an increase in the capital stock
of a national bank have been regular and all that are requisite, and a
stockholder subscribes to his proportionate part of the increase and pays
his subscription, the law does not attach to the subscription a condition
that it is to bo void if the whole increase authorized be not subscribed;
although there may be cases in which equity would interfere to protect
him in case of a material deficienc3T. Aspinivall v. Butler, 133 TJ. S., 595.
13. The Comptroller of the Currency has power by law to assent to an increase
in the capital stock of a national bank less than that originally voted by
the directors, but equal to the amount actually subscribed and paid for by
the shareholders under that vote. Ib.
14. Where one subscribes for shares in an increase of capital stock of a national
bank and pays for the same without waiting to see whether the whole
amount of the increase is taken, ho is bound by such subscription and
payment, though the amount of the increase is afterward reduced by the
bank and the Comptroller of the Currency. Bmtler v. Eaton, 141^ TJ. S.,%40.
15. The conditions imposed by Rev. St., sec. 5142, as to the validity of increase of
national-bank capital were intended to secure actual cash payment of
subscriptions and to prevent watering stock, not to invalidate bona fide
subscriptions actually made and paid. Aspinivall v. Butler, 133 U.S., 595.
16. Stockholder in national bank who, with knowledge of its insolvent condition
and of all material facts, subscribes for increased stock to same amount as
his original stock, and amount of proposed increase is afterwards reduced,
can not question validity of proceedings for such increase to annul such
subscription and payment. Delano v. Butler, 118 TJ. 8., 634; Pacific National
Bank v. Eaton, 141 lb.,227; Thayer v. Butler, Ib., 234; Butler v. Eaton, Ib.,

CAPITAL STOCK—Continued.
17. There can be no increase of the capital of a national bank until the Comptroller of the Currency approves thereof and issues his certificate, as provided by section 13 of the act of Congress providing for the organization
of national banks. Charleston v. People's National Bank. 5 South Carolina,
103; 1 N. B. C, 898.
C. Reduction—
18. A national bank, reducing its capital, can not retain, as a surplus or for anyother purpose, any portion of the money which it received for retired stock,
and having refused to permit shares thus retired to be transferred on its
books, is liable for the value of the shares to the holder. Seeley v. New
Yor~k National Exchange Bank, 78 N. Y., 608; 4 Abb. New Cases, 61; 2 N. B.
C, 340.
19. The capital of a national bank having become impaired by the nonpayment
of the interest on some paper among its assets, to the amount of $71,000,
in order to avoid an assessment by the Comptroller, the stockholders
reduced its capital stock, and carried the bills and notes to the account of
suspended or " bad debts," which were not therafter included as assets,
although retained in its custody. Some years afterwards the bank realized
$75,000 from collaterals pledged for the security of that paper. In a suit
by a stockholder to recover his share of the amount realized, proportioned
to the amount of stock surrendered: Held, That he could not recover.

CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT:
1. National-banking associations may issue certificates of deposit. Riddle Y.
First National Bank, 27 Fed. Hep., 503.
2. Certificates of deposit in the ordinary form, issued by a national bank to
depositors, and payable to order, are not post-notes, within the prohibition of sec. 5183, Rev. St. Ib.
3. A certificate of deposit, payable to the order of the depositor on the return of
the certificate, is not due or suable until demand made and return of the
certificate, lb,
4. Certain persons, directors of a savings and of a national bank, procured
money from the former on notes made by a third person to them for the
payment of stock of the national bank, issued in the name of such third
person for their benefit. These persons were behind in their accounts
with the national bank, and the savings bank allowed them to overdraw
their accounts with it to a large amount, which was used in settling their
accounts with the national bank. Thereafter the savings bank delivered
the notes and the check to the national bank, which issued to it a certificate of deposit for an amount covering the whole amount represented by
them : Held, That this certificate of deposit was without consideration
and void, and any loss accruing to the savings bank by virtue of the
transactions was due to the fraud or incompetency of its own officers.
Murray v. Pauly, 56 Fed. Hep., 962.
5. A certificate of deposit is evidence of so high and satisfactory a character as
to the sum deposited that to escape its effect the maker must overcome it
by clear and satisfactory evidence. Where the testimony, aside from the
certificate, is balanced as to the amount deposited, the certificate will turn
the scale. The First National Bank of Lacon v. Myers, S3 III., 507.
6. A certificate of deposit issued by a national bank, payable to the order of the
depositor, on return of the certificate properly indorsed, and understood
between the bank and the depositor not to be payable until a future day
agreed upon, is not in violation of the National Banking Act. Hunt,
appellant, 141 Mass., 515; 3 N. B. C, 474.
7. Suit against a bank upon a stolen certificate of deposit given by the defendant to the plaintiff, reciting that he had deposited in said bank a certain
number of dollars, payable to his order in current funds, on the return of
the certificate properly indorsed : Held, That the instrument should be
regarded as the promissory note of the bank, assignable under the statute,
"but that it was not negotiable as an inland bill of exchange, being made
payable, not in money, but " i n current funds." The National State Bank
of Lafayette v. Ring el, 51 Ind., 393.
8. Held, therefore, that the payee could recover on said stolen certificate without giving a bond to indemnify the bank against a subsequent claim
thereunder by another person. Ib.

CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT—Continued.
9. A person depositing money in a bank accepted from the cashier a certificate
of deposit, which made no mention of interest, but with a verbal agreement that interest should be paid. The cashier at the same time indorsed
a memorandum of the rate of interest on the stub from which the certificate was taken: Held, That the stub should be read with the certificate,
as evidence of the entire contract. Thomson v. Beal, 48 Fed. Bep., 614
CHECKS: See Certification of checks; Collections.
1. A check is, substantially, an inland bill of exchange, and the rules applicable
to such bills are alike applicable to checks. Bickford v. First National
Bank of Chicago, 42 III., 238.
2. The check of a depositor upon his banker, delivered to another for value,
transfers to that other the title to so much of the deposit as the check
calls for, which may again be transferred by delivery, and when presented
at the bank the banker becomes the holder of the money to the use of the
owner of the check, and is bound to account to him for that amount,
provided the drawer has funds to that amount on deposit, subject to his
check, at the time it is presented. These checks are received and passed
and depesited with bankers as cash, subject, of course, to be made good
if not paid on presentation. This is the legal effect of an ordinary
uncertified check. II).
3. In order to fix the liability of the drawer of an inland bill of exchange, or
check, in case of nonpayment, the holder should present the bill or
check to the person or bank on which it is drawn, within business hours
of the day next succeeding the receipt of the paper, and give notice of the
dishonor to the drawer. Ib.
4. In the case of a deposit of a check drawn upon itself the bank becomes at
once the debtor of, the depositor, and the title to the deposit passes to
the bank. Oddie etal. v. The National City Bank of New York, 45 N. Y., 735.
5. Where a depositor draws his check on his banker, who has funds to an equal
or greater sum than his check, it operates to transfer the sum named to
the payee, who may sue lor and recover the amount from the bank, and a
transfer of the check carries with it the title to the amount named in the
check to each successive holder. The Union National Bank v. The Oceana
County Bank, 80 III., 212.
6. After a check has passed into the hands of a bona fide holder it is not in
the power of the drawer to countermand the order of payment. Ib.
7. An instrument drawn by a depositor on a bank, in the following form, after
giving the date and the name of the bank, "Pay to A and B, for account
of C. & Co., ten hundred and eighteen 23-100 dollars/' and signed by the
depositor, is a valid bank check,
and will operate to transfer to the payees
an amount of the drawers7 funds on deposit equal to the sum named on
its face. The words "for account of C & Co." do not change its character
as a check. A bill or note without at all affecting its character as such
may state the transaction out of which it arose, or the consideration for
which it was given. The Bidgely National Bank v. Patton & Hamilton, 109
III, 479.
8. A bank check, payable to attorneys on account of a debt due from the drawers to the clients of the attorneys, vests the legal title in the payee named,
as trustees for the clients, and a suit thereon against the bank is properly
brought in the names of the payees. Ib.
9. A debtor gave his check on a bank for the amount of his indebtedness, payable to the attorneys of the creditor, w^hich the bank refused to pay, alleging an agreement of the debtor to apply his deposits on other indebtedness.
It was held that the bringing of an action by the creditor against his
debtor did not estop him from bringing an action on the check in the name
of his attorneys, the payees, against the bank. Ib.
10. M, who kept an account with the M and M Bank of Troy, deposited with
that bank a check given for value, drawn by defendant, payable to the
order of M, and indorsed by him in blank. Said bank credited the
amount of the check in M's bank pass book, which was returned to him,
and on the same day it mailed the check to plaintiff, its correspondent in
New York, and its creditor, to be credited on account, and it was so
credited. M stopped payment of the check, and when plaintiff caused
payment to be demanded of the drawee, it was refused. Notice of presentation and x^rotest was given to defendant who subsequently paid the
amount to M. In an action upon the check: Held, That upon the deposit
the M and M Bank became the owner of the cheek, and as such, could

CHECKS—Continued.
ajid did give a perfect title to its transferee, and that plaintiff was
entitled to recover. The Metropolitan National Bank of New York v. Lloyd,
90 N. Y.,530.
11. The implied contract between a bank and its depositors is that it will pay
the deposits when and in such sums as are demanded, the depositor having
the election to make the whole payable at one time by demanding the
whole, or in installments by demanding portions; and whenever a demand
is made by presentation of a genuine check in tho hands of a person
entitled to receive the amount thereof for a portion of the amount on
deposit, and payment is refused, a cause of action immediately arises,
and tbe statute of limitations begins to run as against the installment so
due and payable Viels v. The Union National Bank of Troy, 101 N. Y., 563.
12. While a check drawn by a. depositor against a general bank account docs
not operate as an assignment of so much of the account, it authorizes the
payee, or one to whom he has indorsed and delivered it, to make a demand,
and a refusal of the bank to pay on presentation gives the drawer a right
of action, in case ho has funds in bank to meet the check, and tho refusal
was without his authority. II),
13. It is not enough to make an equitable assignment of money on deposit in
bank that a check be drawn therefor; but where the money was deposited
as the money of the holder of the check, though in the drawer's name, and
that fact is communicated to tho bank before any other right has accrued
to tho fund, the same becomes in equity the property of the holder of the
check, and he may recover it from the bank. Van Allen v. The American
National Bank, 3 Lans., 517.
14. The holder of a check on a bank can not sue the bank for refusal to pay it
on presentation, though, the drawer have sufficient on deposit to meet it.
Creveling el al. v. Bloomsbury National Bank, 46 N. J., 255.
15. Tho implied engagement on the part of a banker to pay the checks of his
depositor does not inuro to tho benefit of the holder of a check so as to
enable him to enforce payment thereon against the bank prior to acceptance, and in the absence of assent by the banker the giving of the check
does not operate as a transfer or assignment of the debt created by the
making of the deposit. First National Bank of Union Mills v. Clark, 134
N. Y.^S6S.
16. Where it is shown to be out of a bank's course of business to receive for
collection checks drawn on it by its depositors, and a check on it, drawn
by one of its depositors in favor of another, is presented by the latter and
the amount thereof is credited on his pass book as a deposit, and the checkis
placed on the file of paid and canceled checks, and afterwards the amount
of the check is also entered to his credit and charged against the drawer
on the books of the bank; these facts constitute a payment of the check,
and tho amount of it can not be withheld by tho bank on discovering that
the check wTas an unauthorized overdraft and the drawer was insolvent.
City National Bank of Sclmav. Burns, 68 Ala. 600.
17. A charge is erroneous and properly refused which affirms, as matter of law,
that, if tho drawer and x>«iyee of a check are customers of the .bank on
which it is drawn, the presentation of tho check by the payee to the bank
and the noting or entry of it by the bank on his pass book as a deposit
do not operate as a payment of tho check; and that, if within a reasonable time tho bank ascertains that the checkis an unauthorized overdraft
and offers to return it, there is no liability to the depositor. Ib.
18. In such case no presumption arises that tho bank received the check merely
for collection and in the capacity of agent for the holder; but a presumption of payment of the check does arise and the onus of overcoming that
presumption rests upon the bank, and it can only be removed by evidence
that such was not the intention of the parties, derived from the course of
business with tho depositor or from contemporaneous acts or declarations. Ib.
19. If a holder of a check, with full knowledge that the drawer is without funds
in tho bank to meet it, and has no just reason to believe that the check
will bo honored in the absence of funds, he is wanting in good faith if ho
demands and receives payment, especially if it is known to him that the
drawer is insolvent and the bank is ignorant of the insolvency. Ib.
20. In such case, fraud being imputed to the holder of the check, knowledge of
the want of funds must bo clearly traced to him. It can not be inferred
from the relations existing between him and the drawer, however intimate,
unless connected with inculpatory facts or circumstances. Ib.
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
59
CIIKCKS— Continued,
21. A check, drawn and delivered to the person to whose order it is payable, docs
not, without acceptance by the drawee, operate as an assignment of the
sum in his hands for which it is given. It may be revoked by the drawer
at any time before acceptance, and is revoked by his death ; and there being
no privity, express or implied, between the payee and the drawee, the former can maintain no action on it against the hitter. National Commercial
Bank v. Miller $ Co., 77 Ala. 168.
22. When a bank receives from i\ customer a check on another bank, for the special purpose of collection, the title does not pass by the special indorsement fo/that purpose; nor does the receiving bank owe the amount until
the check is collected. But where the customer has a deposit account with
the bankers, on which he is accustomed to deposit checks payable to himself, which are entered on his pass book, and7 to draw against such deposits,
an indorsement of the words "For deposit' on a check so deposited, " is,
in the absence of a different understanding,
presumptive of more than a
mere agency or authority to collect;77 it is a request and direction to
deposit the sum to the credit of the customer, and gives to the bankers
authority, not only to collect, but to use the check in such manner as, in
their judgment and discretion, having reference to the conditions and
necessities of their business,-may make it most available to their protection, and they may have it certified by the bank on which it is drawn. Ib.
23. When checks on another bank are handed by a depositor to the receiving
teller of a bank and are by the teller credited on the depositor's pass book,
they are only received for collection, and if not paid on presentation may
be returned and the credit in the pass book canceled. National Gold Bank
and Trust Company v. McDonald, 51 Cal., 64.
24. If a customer of a bank hands the receiving teller a check drawn by another
person upon the same bank and at the same time hands him his pass book,
and the teller receives the check and enters a credit for the amount in the
pass book but no entry is made on the books of the bank, and nothing else
is said or done, and the drawer has no funds in the bank, the check may be
returned to the depositor and the credit in the pass book canceled. Ib.
25. In such case a finding by the court that the check was received as a cash
deposit is erroneous. Ib.
26. The fact that the cashier of a bank upon which a77 check is drawn takes the
check and places it upon the "cancelling fork, does not constitute such
an acceptance as will prevent him from declining to pay and returning the
same upon learning that the drawer has«not sufficient funds, or if the check
is not in proper form. The Natioyial Banlc of Bockville v. The Second National
Banlc of Lafayette, 69 Ind., 479.
27. Where the larceny of a bank check is charged the question of its value is for
the jury, and it is error to instruct them that a check drawn on a bank
where the maker has funds sufficient to meet it is presumptively of some
value. Burrows v. State,- 87 N. E., 271.
28. The act of Congress of March 3,1869 (Rev. St., sec. 5208), making it unlawful for national banks to certify checks unless the drawer has at the time an
amount of funds on deposit equal to the amount specified in the check,
does not invalidate an oral acceptance of a check, or. promise to pay a
check, there being at the time sufficient funds
of the drawer in possession
to meet it. First National Bank \. Merchants1 National Bank, 7 W. Ya.,544;
1 N. B. C, 915.
29. A check drawn on a national bank was presented for acceptance, whereupon
the bank promised to pay it as soon as it received information that a certain draft left with it for collection was paid. The draft was paid and the
bank informed. Held, That the acceptance was good and binding on the
bank. Ib.
30. The refusal of the bank to pay a check upon presentation gives the drawer
a right of action in case he has funds in the bank to meet the check, and
the refusal to pay was without authority. Brooke v. Tradesmen's National
Bank, 22 N. Y. St., 633; 68 Hun., 129.
31. The measure of damages will be the amount of actual loss the party has sustained, which may fairly and reasonably be considered as naturally arising
from the breach of the contract, according to the usual course of things. Ib.
32. The ordinary amount of damages in such case would be the amount of
check, interest, and costs. Ib.
33. The immediate entering of a judgment against the drawer and the seizure
of his business by the sheriff, in consequence of the failure of the bank to
pay the check, is not an injury for which the bank would be liable. Ib.

CHECKS—Continued.
34. The term " protest/' as applied to inland bills of exchange, includes only the
steps essential to charge the drawer and mdorser. Wood River Bank v.
First National Bank of Omaha, 55 N. W., 239; 36 Neb., 744.
35. Bank checks in the country are regarded as inland bills of exchange, for the
purpose of presentment and demand and notice of dishonor, and do not
require a. formal protest in order to charge the indorsers. Ib.
36. They are also due upon presentation and not entitled to days of grace. Ib.
37. A check operates as an equitable assignment pro tan to from the time it is
drawn and delivered, as between the drawer and the payee or holder.
Hidings v. Hidings Lumber Company et al., 18 S. E., 620; 38 W. Va., 351.
38. A general assignment for the benetit of creditors does not defeat the check
holder, although the check be not presented to the bank for payment
until after such assignment. Ib.
CERTIFICATION OF CHECKS: See Collections.
.
1. A national banking association may "certify" a check, Merchants7 National
Bank v. State National Bank, 10 Wall., 604.
2. The certification of a check by a bank is, in effect, merely an acceptance, and
creates no trust m favor of the holder of the check and gives no lien on
any particular portion of the assets of the bank. People v. St. Nicholas
Bank, 28 N. Y. St., 407; 58 N. Y. St., 712.
3. A certified check has a distinctive character as a species of commercial paper,
the certification constituting a new contract between the holder and the
certifying bank. The funds of the drawer are, in legal contemplation,
withdrawn from his credit and appropriated to the payment of the check,
and the bank becomes the debtor of the holder as for money had and
received. National Commercial Bank v. Miller $ Co , 77 Ala., 168.
4. Where the defendant has a right of election, on account of a tort committed,
either to suefor the tort, or, waiving the tort, to sue for money had and
received, the* relation of debtor and creditor does not exist until he elects
to sue for the money; and his creditors can not defeat his election by garnishment against the wrongdoer. But this principle does not apply where
the garnishees, having received a check from the defendant, with authority
to collect for deposit and use, have had the check certified by the bank on
which it is drawn, before the service of the garnishment; being authorized to have it certified, and the relation or' the parties being thereby
changed, they are liable to the defendant for the amount of the check, as
for money had and received, and that liability may be reached by garnishment. Ib.
5. A broker received coupon railroad mortgage bonds to cover future margins
of a customer and pledged them to a ba'nk as collateral security for any
indebtedness he might owe to it. Afterward the bank advanced money
and certified checks on the faith of these bonds, when broker did not have
money on deposit equal in amount to the checks: Held, under sec. 5208,
that although the certifications were unlawful the checks certified were
good and valid obligations against the bank. Thompson v. St. Nicholas
National Bank, 146 V. JS., 240.
6. In an action by a bona fide holder of a check drawn on defendant, a national
bank, and certified by its cashier: Held, That the defendant was liable,
although the drawer had no funds in the bank when the check was certified. Cooke v. The State National Bank of Boston, 52 N. Y., 96; 1 N. B. C,
698.
7. Where a postdated check is certified by the cashier of the bank on which it
is drawn to be "good, " by indorsement thereon before the day of its date,
the instrument, upon its very face, communicates facts and information to
persons receiving the same that the cashier, in making such certification,
was not acting within the known limits of his power, and that he was
clearly exceeding them. The Clarke National Bankv. The Bank of Albion,
impleaded, etc., 52 Barb., 592.
8. I t appearing, on the face of such paper, that it was certified by the cashier
before its payment could have been legally demanded, and before it could
be presumed" that the drawer had made a deposit for its payment, this is,
in the law, full notice to a purchaser. Ib.
9. To enable a holder of such check to recover of the bank upon it, it mustappear that he became the owner and holder in good faith for a full and
fair consideration in the usual course of business, and without notice of
< the cashier's want of power to make the certification. He must have
parted with something of value upon the strength and in consideration
of the transfer of the paper. Ib.
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
61
CERTIFICATION OF CHECKS—Continued.
10. If he parted with nothing before the check was dishonored, he stands in privity with his immediate indorsers, and is affected by all that will affect
them. Ib.
11. Crediting the indorsers with the avails of the check on the books of the
holder is in no sense a paying over. The holder, upon receiving notice of
dishonor, has an undoubted right to erase such credit, and to restore it only
at the special instance of the indorsers from whom he received the
check. Ib.
12. The receipt of a certified check is not, of itself, payment. Such a check does
not cease to be commercial paper and become money. Certifying a check
to be "good" is nothing more than a promise by the bank upon which it
is drawn to pay it when presented, as in the case of the acceptance of a
bill of exchange. If an accepted bill be protested for nonpayment, and
the drawer duly notified thereof, he is bound to pay the bill, with damages
and costs. The same is the laAV with regard to a certified check. Bickford
v. First National Bank of Chicago, 42 III., 238.
13. As the acceptance of a bill of exchange does not discharge the drawer, so
neither should the acceptance of a check, manifested" by the word "good"
placed upon it by the bank, discharge the drawer. They rest on the same
principles. In this respect there is no difference between an uncertified
and a certified check; the dishonor of either must make the drawer liable.
Ib.
14. There is this difference, however, between a certified and an uncertified
check: In case of the former, the amount of the check is supposed to ba
at once charged up against the drawer, and thus placed beyond his control, while the holder of an uncertified check may be anticipated by
another, who also holds a check on which he may draw the money. The
certificate is an unconditional promise on the part of the bank to pay the
check on demand. The object in certifying the check is to give it a currency value and to enable the holder to use it as money. Ib.
15. Although it be the fact that certified checks pass from hand to hand as cash,
still they are not cash or currency, in the legal sense of those terms, and
they do not lose, on that account, any of their characteristics as bills of
exchange, and therefore, when dishonored, the holder has a right to look
to the drawer for payment. Ib.
16. In this case a check was drawn and certified and deposited in a bank after
10 o'clock a. m. and before 3 o'clock p. m. on a certain day, where it
remained until the next morning, when it was taken, in the usual course
of business, to the bank on which it was drawn. The bank was closed
and continued so. The check was protested for nonpayment and due
notice given. This was sufficient diligence to hold the drawer. Ib.
17. The holder of a certified check has the right to hold the drawee and acceptor,
as well as the drawer. So, where the acceptor has failed and made an
assignment, the holder waives none of his rights against the drawer by
giving notice to the assignee of the acceptor not to pay over any money to
the drawer out of assets which might come to his hands in that capacity.
Ib.
18. A certificate of a bank that a check is good is equivalent to an acceptance;
it implies that a check is drawn upon sufficient funds in the hands of the
' drawee; that they have been set apart for its satisfaction, and that they
shall be so applied whenever the check is presented for payment. Merchants' National Bank v. State National Bank, 10 Wall., 604; 1 N B. C.f 47.
19. National banks have the power to certify checks, and this power may be
exercised by the cashier without special authorization. The directors may
limit his exercise of this power as they deem proper, but such limitation
will not afreet a person ignorant thereof who deals with the cashier in
relation to matters apparently within the scope of his power. Ib.
20. A bank, knowing that the county treasurer of the county had not sufficient
county funds in his hands to balance his official accounts, consented to
give him a fictitious credit in order to enable him to impose upon the
county commissioners, who were about 7to examine his accounts. They
accordingly gave him a "cashier's check' for $16,571.61, which he indorsed
and took to the commissioners. They received it, but refused to discharge
him or his bondsmen, and placed the check and such funds as he had in cash
in a box and delivered them to his bondsmen. The latter deposited the
money and the check in another bank in the same place, which bank brought
suit against the bank which issued the check to recover upon it: Held, 1,
That the circumstances under which the check was issued were a plain
fraud upon the law, and also upon the county commissioners; 2. that their

receipt of it and turning it over to the sureties was a. single act, intended
to assist the sureties in protecting themselves, and was inconsistent with
the idea of releasing them from their obligation. Thompson v. Sioux Falls
National Bank, 150 U. S., 231.
Though the draper of a check, before delivering it, has it certified, he will
not be relieved from liability thereon, the bank having failed before payment thereof, though presented in duo season. Randolph National Bank
v. Hornblower ct al., 35 N. E., 850; 160 Mass., 401.
Where the drawer of a check, before delivering it to the payee, has ifc
certified as good by the bank upon which it is drawn, and the payee presents it in good season for payment, and gives due notice to the drawer of
its nonpayment, and the bank had failed at the time of presentment for
payment, the drawer will not be discharged from liability on the check.
Cincinnati Oyster and Fish Co. v. National Lafayette Bank., 36 N. E., 833.
As a general rule the certification of «i check in the hands of the payee, the
body of which is unaltered, releases the drawer from further liability, and
creates a direct liability from the bank to the payee, while as between
the bank and the drawer it operates as a payment, to that extent, on his
account; and although prior to its being certified the check may bo
countermanded by the drawer, after its certification it has passed beyond
his control, and he no longer has power to countermand its payment.
Meridian National Bank of Indianapolis v. First National Bank of Shelbyville, 34 N. E., 608; 7 Ind. App.y 322.
The indorsement of a check by the person to whom it was actually issued,
and by whom the drawer intended the money should bo received, is an
effectual indorsment to pass title to the check to a bank cashing the sams;
and the indorsement is not, as to such bank, invalidated by reason of the
payee acting tinder an assumed and fictitious name, when he was not
impersonating any other individual. Ib.
A bank cashing, in good faith, a check so drawn and indorsed may collect
the amount thereof of the bank which has certified the same. Ib.
CIRCULATION:
1. TTi3 circulating notes of a national-banking association are valid though they
do not bear the imprint of the seal cf the Treasury. Such imprint w.ns
intended to be simply evidence of the contract, and forms no part of the
contract itself. United States v. Bennett, 17 Blatch.', 357.
2. The State cannot tax the circulating notes of national-banking associations.
Home v. Greene, 25 Miss., 452.
3. The State, until forbidden by Congress, has the power to tax national-bank
bills. Lillii v. The Board of Commissioners of Cumberland County, 69 N. C,
300.
4. The circulating notes of national banks, known as unational currency/' are
not exempt from taxation by a State. Board of Commissioners of Montgomery
County v. Elston, 32 Ind., 27; 1 N. B. C., 425
5. The power of a State to tax the circulation of the national banks depends
upon whether such circulation is for the use of the United States GoVernment, or for private profit. Congress can protect the circulation of those
banks, by forbidding the States to tax it. Until this is done, the States
have a right to tax it. Ruffin v. Board of Commissioners, 69 N. C, 498; 1
N. B. C, 806.
6. The tax of 10 per cent imposed by the act of July 13, 1866 (14 Stat. at Large
146, sec. 9) on the circulation of State banks used for currency and paid
out by the national or State banks is not repugnant to the Constitution,
either on the ground that the tax is a direct tax, which must be apportioned,
among the several States, or that the act impairs franchises granted by
the State. Veazie Bankx. Fcnno, 8 Wall., 533; 1 N. B. C, 22.
7. Congress having undertaken, in the exercise of undisputed constitutional
power, to provide a currency for the whole country, may constitutionally
secure the benefit of it to the people by appropriate legislation, and to that
end may restrain by suitable enactments the circulation of any notes not
issued under its own authority. Ib.
8. The provision of section 3413 of the national bank act, that u every national
banking association, State bank or banker, or association, shall pay a tax
of 10 per cent on the amount of notes of any town, city, or municipal
corporation paid out by them/ 7 is constitutional, even whero its effect is to
tax an instrumentality of a State. Merchants' National Bank of Little Rock

2. And it may take for such purpose the stock of another national-banking*
association. National Bank v. Case, 99 U. S., 628.
3. A national-banking association may takca-pledgo of personal chattels as

5. Whore stockholder borrows money from bank and gives as security certificate
of his shares of its stock, he is not entitled to recover when, on nonpayment of loan, the bank sold his stock and applied proceeds to his credit.
National Bank of Xenia v Stewart, 107 U. S., 676.
6. Creditor of insolvent bank has the right to prove and have dividends upon
his entire claim, irrespective of collateral security he may hold. Peoples
v. Remington, 121 N. Y., 328.
7. A pledgee of stock in a private corporation holding the certificates as collateral
security,-and having had the transfer duly entered on the books of the
corporation, is liable to creditors as the owner thereof on the subsequent
insolvency and dissolution of the corporation; and this liability is governed by the law in force when their debts were created (Rev. Code, 1887.
sec. 1760), although it had been repealed or abrogated before the stock
wTas transferred to him. National Commercial Bank v. McDonnell, 92 Ala.,
387.
8. It is the duty of a receiver, if a secured debt is so reduced by dividends that
the security will more than pay it, to redeem the security for the benefit
of his trust. West v. Bank of Hull and, 19 Vermont, 403 \ Miller's Estate, 82;
Penn. St., 113; Bates v. Paddock, 7 Western Reporter, 222.
9. A sale of shares of stock pledged as collateral security, without notice
to the
pledgor, is not a conversion, when it appears that the stock wras knocked
down to a nominal purchaser without his knowledge or consent, and that
the certificates, though changed into his name, were never delivered to him,
but were retained by the pledgee until after a subsequent sale pursuant to
notice. Terry v. Birmingham National Bank, 93 Ala., 599.
10. For an unauthorized sale of stock pledged as collateral security, amounting
to a conversion, the pledgor is entitled to recover, as damages, the market
value of the stock at the time of the sale, with interest to the day of the
trial; and the jury may, in their discretion, allow the highest market value
at any time between the sale and the trial. Lb.
11. This suit was brought to recover the value of certain bonds, which, it is
claimed, had been left at the bank as collateral security for money which
the bank might, from time to time, advance the ^plaintiff. The plaintiff
testified that on July 1, 1868, he went to the bank tb obtain a loan upon this
security; that the bonds could not bo found, but that he leceived the
money. The defendant requested the court to instruct the jury that, "if
the bonds were not found by the bank when the note of July 1 was offered
and were not afterward found, the jury are not authorized to find that
they were taken and held as collateral security for the note of July 1:"
Held, That this instruction was properly refused. Dearborn v. The Union
National Bank of Brunswick, 61 Me., 369.
12. A bank is bound to take only ordinary care of United States bonds pledged
to it as collateral security for the payment of a note discounted by the bank.
Jenkins v. National Village Bank of Bowdoinham, 58 Me., 275.
13. A writing, executed by the cashier, acknowledging the receipt by the bank,
" t o be returned to him on the payment of Ins note in four months, dated
May 9, 1866," is not a contract which increases the common-law liability
of the bank, even if the cashier had the authority to do so. lb.

17. The cashier of a bank has no authority to assign collaterals belonging to
himself, which were given to secure a loan to another person for the cashier's benefit. Merchants' National Bank v. Demere, 19 S. E., 38.
18. One who borrows money from a bank for the cashier thereof, on collaterals
belonging to the cashier, is not entitled to credit for amount of such collaterals after they have been wrongfully withdrawn and converted by the
cashier. Ib,
19. When shares of stock in a private corporation are pledged as collateral
security for a debt, and default is made in the payment of the debt at
maturity, the pledgee may iile a bill in equity to foreclose the pledge by
a sale under the order of the court, or he may exercise the implied power
to sell without resorting to judicial proceedings; but, if he elects to pursue the latter remedy, the sale must be at public auction, in the absence
of a special agreement, and reasonable notice must be given to the pledgor;
and if he sells privately, without notice, becoming himself the purchaser,
the relation between him and the pledgor is not thereby dissolved. Sharpe
v. National Bank of Birmingham, 87 Ala., 644.
20. If the pledgor, when notified of the irregular or unauthorized sale, accepts
its benefits, giving his note for the balance of his debt remaining unpaid,
this is presumptively a ratification of the sale, and he can nofc afterward
impeach it; but, if lie acted in ignorance of the fact that the pledgee
himself was the purchaser, and did not intend to make an absolute and
unconditional ratification without regard to the facts attending the sale,
he may disaffirm it within a reasonable time after discovering that the
pledgee was the purchaser. Ib.
21. If a part owner of certificates of stock pledges them, with the consent of
the other owner, as collateral security for his own debt, and they are converted by the pledgee, the pledgor is entitled to recover as if he were the
sole owner, the pledgee being estopped from denying his absolute ownership. Ib.
22. Rev. St., sec. 5242, which declares all deposits, all transfers of deposits,
and all payments of money made by a national bank after an act of insolvency, or in 'contemplation thereof, to be null and void, does not render
illegal the retention of a balance standing to the credit of an insolvent
national bank with a correspondent on the day of its failure, which has
been pledged for the purpose of securing loans made by the correspondent
to the insolvent bank. Bell v. Hanover National Bank, 57 Fed. Rep., 821.
23. Where a deposit with a coirespondent has, long prior to the commission of
the act of insolvency by a national bank, been pledged as collateral to
secure the payment of loans made to the insolvent by its correspondent,
neither the subsequent insolvency of the bank, nor the appointment of
the receiver, destroys the lien of the correspondent, or its rights to dispose
of the pledge to satisfy the debt secured. Ib.
24. Creditors of an insolvent national bank can not be required, in proving
their claims, to allow credit for any collections made after the date of the
declared insolvency from collateral securities held by them. Chemical
National Bank\. Armstrong, 59 Fed. Hep., 372.
25. Rev. St. U. S., sec. 5242, which prohibits all transfers by any national banking association made after the commission of an act of insolvency, or in contemplation thereof, with a view to the preference of one creditor over
another, is directed to apreference, not to the giving of security when a debt
is created; and if the transaction be free from fraud in fact,and is intended
merely to adequately protect a loan made at the time, the creditor can
retain property transferred to secure such loan until the debt is paid, though
the debtor is insolvent, and the creditor has reason at the time to believe
that to be the fact. Armstrong v. Chemical National Bank, 41 Fed. Rep., 234.
26. The plaintiff, a judgment creditor of the defendant, had the steamboat Einta
seized. The defendant had pledged it to the Third National Bank of
New York, but remained in possession for his own account, and never
completed the pledge by an actual delivery to the pledgee. The act of
pledge was drawn up in the common-law form, and was intended to
operate as a chattel mortgage. It contains, as to the form of the act, the
essentials of an act of pledge. Citizens' Bank of Louisiana v. Janin (Third
National Bank of Neiv York, Intervener), 15 So., 471, 40 La. Ann.

COLLATERAL SECURITIES—Continued.
27. The Third National Bank, as pledgee, claimed the proceeds of the sale. The
property, when it was seized, was in the possession of the subtenant. It
is not proved that plaintiff colluded with the defendant, and thereby
gained an improper advantage. Pledge is not made perfect by the consent of the parties. It requires absolute possession. The alleged pledgee
never was in possession during the tenure of the defendant. Ib.
28. It (the Third National) could not obtain possession through the agency of the
sublessee, who held possession for his lessor, the defendant. Ib.
29. A pledge can not be made perfect by the sublessee's delivery of possession
without the consent of his lessor. Ib.
30. The obligation of the lessor to account for the property, and whatever
revenues were realized therefrom, binding between him and his creditor,
the Third National Bank—the property not having been delivered—did
not affect his other creditors, who could seize the property in his possession, or in that of his sublessee, who held possession for his lessor. Ib.
31. In an action by a bank on a promissory note, it appeared that defendant
delivered as security the promissory note of S., to which was annexed, as
collateral security, a certificate of corporate stock in the name of S.; that
defendant, with the consent of S., agreed that the bank might sell the
stock, and take in place of the note of S. the note of the purchaser, secured by the same stock reissued in the name of the purchaser; and that the
bank sold the stock', and took in payment notes secured by the stock,
payable to itself, with which notes defendant had no connection, and over
which he had no control: Held, That as the bank had converted the
stock to its own use, defendant's note must be credited with the value of
the stock at the time of conversion. Pauly v. Wilson, 57 Fed. Kej)., 548.
32. Plaintiff had in its possession collateral security for a debt due from a third
party, who also owed the defendant: Held, That an agreement by the
parties in interest that any sum received on such collateral security in
addition to the indebtedness first secured thereby, should be applied on
the- debt due from defendant operated as an equitable assignment to
defendant of such surplus, if any there should be. /Second National Bank

A. Solvent banks—
1. Where the holder of a bill of exchange, payable at a distant place, deposits it
with a local bank for collection, he thereby assents to the course of business
of banks to collect through correspondents, and the correspondent of the
local bank to which the bill is forwarded becomes his agent and is responsible to him directly for negligence in failing to present the bill for payment
within the proper time. Guelich v. The National State Bank of Burlington,
56 Iowa, 434.
2. The payee of a check deposited it for collection with bank A on the same day
it was made. The bank presented it for payment the next day shortly
before 11 o'clock, and the drawee's check on bank B, only a few blocks distant, was taken in payment. The drawee became bankrupt at 1 o'clock.
Several checks given after this, one by the drawee on bank B, were paid
before 1 o'clock. Before 3 o'clock_, bank A presented the check in question
for payment, which was refused, whereupon it immediately went to the
drawee, and, after recovering the original check, protested it: Held, That
the drawer of the check was not liable thereon. Anderson v. Gill, 29 A., 527.
3. Where the payee of a check makes a- demand on the drawee and receives something other than cash in payment, he can not, by making a second demand,
though within the time allowed for presenting a check, undo the first, and
render the drawer liable on the bankruptcy of the drawee. Ib.
4. Two bills of exchange, belonging to the plaintiff at Chicago, were indorsed
for collection to a bank at Atchison, Kans., and by said Atchison bank to
a bank at Kansas City, Mo., and by the latter to defendant, a bank at
Hutchinson, Kans: Held, That they remain the property of plaintiff, all
the indorsements being restrictive. First National Bank of Chicago v. Reno
County Bank, 1 McCrary, 491.
5. An indorsement on; a bill of exchange directing the drawee to pay to another
"on account of' the indorser, or " for collection," is a restrictive indorsement, the effect of which is to restrict the further negotiability of the bill,
and to give notice that the indorser does not thereby give title to the bill,
or to its proceeds when collected. Ib.
6. Although there may be no privity between the owner of the bill and the last
indorsee, yet, if the latter collects the bill, he is bound to pay the pro8182 CUR

to take the proper steps to fix the liability of the indorser. West v. St.
Paul National Bank, 56 N. W., 54; 54 Minn., 466.
8. In an action by the owner of the note for neglect of that duty, resulting in
the discharge of the indorser, the question of the solvency of the maker
is material as affecting the measure of damages. Ib.
9. Insolvency may be shown prima facie by proof of general reputation. Proof
of insolvency within a reasonable time after the maturity of the note held
admissible. Ib.
10. A bank receiving for collection, from a correspondent, checks drawn upon it
by a customer, with instructions to protest in case of nonpayment, is
required, in case payment is refused for want of funds, to give notice to
the bank from which they were received not later than the next day after
dishonor; and when they are held for two days in order to enable the
drawer to provide funds for payment'thereof a jury will be warranted in
finding that the bank intended to accept them, and become liable thereon.
Wood Elver Bank v. First National Bank of Omaha, 55 N. W., 239.
11. The indorsement of a draft to a bank "for collection," accompanied by a
credit of the amount to the indorser's account, does not transfer title to
the bank, and correspondent of the bank who collects draft for it is responsible therefor to indorser. Tyson v. Western National Bank of Baltimore,
26 Att. Bep., 520.
B. Insolvent banks—
12. The Winters National Bank sent to the Fidelity Bank a note of $2,000 for
collection, and indorsed "Pay Fidelity National Bank, Cincinnati, Ohio,
or order, for collect ion for 77
account of the Winters National Bank, Dayton,
Ohio, J. C. Reber, cashier.
The Fidelity Bank forwarded it to the'Drovers and Mechanics' Bank, which received payment thereof at maturity.
Before the Fidelity Bank received notice and remittance of the $2,000, it
became insolvent, and went into the hands of a receiver, who took the
$2,000 and credited the Winters Bank therewith: Held, That the Fidelity
Bank did not own thenote, and the Winters Bank was entitled to the full
$2,000 as against the Fidelity Bank's receiver. In re Armstrong, 33 Fed.
Rep., 405.
13. Plaintiff sent to F bank a draft indorsed " for collection/'
accompanied with
instructions to "collect and credit proceeds.7' F bank sent the draft to
the defendant and the latter collected it, received the proceeds, and credited
them to the F bank in accordance with the usual course of business
between the F bank and the defendant, and notified the F bank of the
credit. The F bank suspended business before crediting plaintiff with
the proceeds, but after they had been collected and after it had received
notice of the credit. After the suspension of the F bank the receiver
appointed over its affairs credited plaintiff with the proceeds of the draft
on the books of the bank: Held, That the indorsement "for collection"
was notice fco the defendant of the qualified title to the F bank, and
defendant could not acquire any better title to the draft or the proceeds
than that of the F bank, and could not, as against the plaintiff, apply
the proceeds to an account owing the defendant from the F bank; and
that the defendant could only defeat an action brought to recover the
proceeds in its hands by showing that the draft or its proceeds belonged to
the F bank. First Nat. Bank of Circleville v. Bank of Monroe, 33 Fed.
Bep., 408.
14. Held, further, That the relation of principal and agent continue between the
plaintiff and the F bank so long as the latter did not assume the relation
of primary debtor to the plaintiff for the rjroceeds o f ^he draft; that the
plaintiff not having been credited with the proceeds by the F bank, the
relation between them remained that of principal and agent, and not
debtor and creditor; and that the F bank, not having credited the plaintiff with the proceeds while it was a going concern, could not, by doing so
subsequently, change the existing relation. Ib.
15. Held, In. an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant to recover
the proceeds of the draft, the defendant, not having remitted the proceeds
to the F bank, was liable to the plaintiff for the amount. Ib.
16. Plaintiff's sent to a certain bank a bill of exchange indorsed to said bank for,
collection. At the time the bank received the bill of exchange it was
insolvent to the knowledge of the managing officer, and on that day, or

following morning, it failed. Prior to the failure it indorsed the bill of
exchange to defendant bank, which collected it and kept the proceeds,
crediting the insolvent bank, which was indebted to it, with the amount
thereof: Held, That the first bank acquired no title because of its fraud
in not disclosing its insolvency, and defendant had EO better title, as
plaintiffs' indorsement showed that the bank was merely plaintiffs' agent
to collect the proceeds. Peck et al. v. First Nat. Bank, 43 Fed. Bep., 356.
Plaintiff sent to defendant's bank paper indorsed " For collection and immediate return " to plaintiff, and the paper was collected and the proceeds
mingled with other moneys of the bank, instead of forwarded to plaintiff.
The bill contained an uncontroverted allegation that defendant's bank at
all times subsequent to the collection and at the time of defendant's
appointment as receiver, had on hand cash to a greater" amount than that
due plaintiff. The bill asked to have the balance due plaintiff paid in full
on the ground that the bank by receiving the paper for collection and
immediate return became a trustee, and that either its entire property or
the money in its vaults became impressed with the trust: Held, That if
the mingling of the funds was a breach of trust it was a conversion; and
plaintiff" became a simple contract creditor, with no preference at law.
Philadelphia National Bank v. Vowd, 38 Fed. Bep., 172.
It was immaterial whether or not the bank stood in a fiduciary capacity to
plaintiff, as the facts stated in the bill showed that the money collected
could not be traced into any specific investment or fund, but had been
iiHlistinguishably mingled with the general assets. Ib.
By agreement and custom the Fidelity Bank received drafts from its correspondent bank at E, and credited them to it as cash, with the understanding that any draft which was unpaid should be charged back to the
correspondent. The latter forwarded drafts, which were credited to it but
were not collected before the Fidelity Bank failed. The drafts were paid
after the appointment of a receiver and the moneys actually came into his
hands. The drafts were indorsed payable to the Fidelity Bank "for collection for t h e " bank at E: Held, That as the drafts were when received
credited as cash to the bank at E, which had the right at once to draw
against them, the indorsement for collection did not affect the result and
the bank had only the rights of a general creditor. First Xat. Bank of
Elkhart v. Armstrong, 39 Fed. Bep., 231.
A draft sent to a bank specially indorsed for collection was paid by the
drawee by check, which the bank collected through the clearing house.
A memorandum was placed with the bank's cash, to indicate that the proceeds of the draft was the pro.perty of the sender. The bank was closed
the next morning, and the receiver credited such proceeds to the sender of
the draft on the books of the bank: Held, That the fund was not so mingled that it could not be traced and identified, and that the sender could
recover the same. First Nat. Bank of Montgomery v. Armstrong, 36 Fed.
Bep., 59.
Checks and drafts sent from one bank to another were indorsed " for collection," and credited ''subject to payment," according to the dealings
between the banks. Part of them were paid to the receiver of the latter
bank after its failure, and the balance were credited to it by the payers:
Held, That the amount paid the receiver should be accounted for as a trust
fund, but the balance as a general debt. First Nat. Bank of Wellston v.
Armstrong, 42 Fed. Bep., 193.
The claimant bank sent to the Fbank a sight draft, drawn on a third party,
indorsed, " p a y " F bank, or order, "for collection for" claimant bank.
It was the practice of the F bank in its dealings with claimant to credit
the latter on the day of receipt for all drafts, checks, etc., sent for collection that were payable at sight or on demand, and the balance thus created
was subject to be drawn on; but if the paper was not paid it was charged
back to claimant. On receipt of the draft the F notified claimant that
it had been credited, "subject to payment;" but the credit was not
drawn against nor were advances made on the faith of it. Claimant merely
kept a memorandum of its transmission for collection. The F sent the
draft to its reserve agent, indorsed, for collection, and the amount of it was
counted as a part of the F's reserve fund, though this fact was not known
to claimant: Held, That the indorsement being restrictive, the F acquired
no title to it, and that upon the insolvency of the F, before notification of
the collection of the draft, the claimant was entitled to the proceeds of it
in the hands
of the collecting agent. Fifth National Bank v. Armstrong,

COLLECTIONS—Continued.
23. A bank which had received a draft for collection sent it to its correspondent
bank at the residence of the drawee, and the draft was paid to such correspondent. There were no mutual accounts between the two banks, but
it was the custom of the correspondent to remit the proceeds of collections
at stated periods: Held, That until this remittance was made, or the principal bank had given the original owner of the draft credit for the avails,
the original owner of the draft, as the owner of the proceeds thereof, was
entitled to recover them from the correspondent bank. National Exchange
Bank of Dallas v. Beal, 50 Fed. Rep., 355.
24. Though the correspondent Avas the agent of the first bank, and payment to
it was to that extent a payment to the principal, yet until the proceeds
were actually remitted to such principal and mingled with its general
funds, or were so credited, the owner of the draft had the option to decline
to consider it his debtor, and to claim the proceeds in the hands of the
agent. Ib.
25. Where the principal fails, and a receiver is appointed, he takes the proceeds
of the draft, when remitted to him, subject to the same right of reclamation by the owner that the latter had as against the agent. Ib.
26. Where, in such a case, there are mutual accounts between the two banks,
the right of the agent to set off the amount of the collection against the
principal's indebtedness to it can not be adjudicated in a suit in equity
between the owner of the draft and the principal without making such
agent a party. 11).
27. Checks deposited in a bank by its customers for collection do not at once
become the property of the bank; the bank continues to be the agent of
the customer until the collection of the check, which remains, in the meantime, the property of the depositor. Balbach et al. v. Frelinghuysen,
Receiver, etc., 15 Fed. Hep., 675.
28. The rule is different where such checks are deposited to make good an overdrawn account of the customer, or when the amount deposited by check
is immediately drawn against; in that case the bank may hold the deposit
until the overdraft is made good from other sources. Ib.
29. The indorsement by the customer of a check, deposited for collection, is
only intended to put the paper in such shape that the bnak may collect
it, "and not to thereby pass the title to the bank. Jb.
30. The practice which has grown up among banks to credit deposits of checks
at once to the account of the depositor, and to allow him to draw against
them before the collection, is a mere gratuitous privilege, which does not
grow into a binding legal usage. Ib.
31. A., who for several years had kept an account with the Marine National
Bank of New York, on May 5, 1884, deposited a sight draft, dated that
day, and drawn by him on a corporation of Boston, Mass., which was
indebted to him in the amount of the draft. The bank was insolvent
at the time, but the draft was forwarded to its collection agent at Boston,
and paid May 7, after the bank had failed and closed it doors. On several previous occasions A. had deposited similar drafts, and been credited
therewith as cash, and they were treated by him as cash deposits. On
the occasion in question the bank credited plaintiff with the draft as a
cash item: Held, That the draft was not the property of A. when paid by
the drawee, and that he was not entitled to recover the amount thereof
from the receiver. St. Louis $ S. F. Ry. Co. v. Johnston, Receiver, etc., 27
Fed. Rep., 243.
32. When a sight bill is credited by a bank to a customer as a cash item, with
the latter's assent, the transaction is equivalent to a discount of tfye bill
by the bank. Ib.
33. Where a check of a depositor is accepted by a correspondent bank iu payment of a draft for collection, which charges the same to the drawee and
credits the drawer without separating the amount from its general funds,
it holds the money as agent for the drawer, who, after insolvency, becomes
a mere general creditor, notwithstanding the State constitution provides
that " depositors who have not stipulated for interest shall for such
deposits be entitled in case of insolvency to preference of payment over
all other creditors/' Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association v. Clayton, 56 Fed.
Rep., 759.
34. A bank in Ohio contracted with a bank in Pennsylvania to collect for it at
par, at all points west of Pennsylvania, and remit the 1st, 11th, and 21st
of each month. In executing this agreement the Pennsylvania bank
stamped upon the paper forwarded for collection, with a stamp prepared
for it by the Ohio bank, an indorsement "Pay to " t h e Ohio bank, "or

order, for collection for," the Pennsylvania bank. The Ohio bank failed,
having in its hands or in the hands of other banks to which it had been
sent for collection, proceeds of paper sent it by the Pennsylvania bank
for collection. A receiver being appointed, the Pennsylvania bank brought
this action to recover such proceeds: Held, First, that the relation between
the banks as to uncollected paper was that of principal and agent, and
that the mere fact that the subagent of the Ohio bank had collected the
money due on such paper was not a commingling of those collections with
the general funds of the Ohio bank, and did not operate to relieve them
from the trust obligation created by the agency, or create any difficulty
in specially tracing them. Commercial Bank of Pennsylvania v. Armstrong,
148 D. S., 50.
Second, that if the Ohio bank was indebted to its subagent, and the collections when made were entered in their books as a credit to such
indebtedness, they were thereby reduced to possession and passed into the
general funds of the Ohio bank. Ib.
Third, that by the terms of the agreement the relation o.f debtor and creditor
was created when the collections were fully made, the funds "being on
general deposit with the Ohio bank, with the right in that bank to their
use until the time of remittance should arrive. Ib.
A bank received two drafts indorsed to it for collection, on account of the
drawers, against two of its depositors. After acceptance by the latter the
bank charged to each depositor's account the amount of the draft accepted
by him. Before remitting to the drawers the bank assigned, having on
hand cash sufficient to pay such drafts: Held, That the drawers were not
entitled to a preference as to the funds on hand at the time the bank failed,
where the assignee holds nothing which he or such drawers can identify
with the drafts, or trace as a payment of them. Freiberg v. Stoddart, 28
A., 1111.
A national bank collected a note for plaintiff by accepting a draft for the
amount on another party, which it forwarded to its correspondent for collection, and at the same time sent plaintiff a draft on. the same correspondent as a remittance of the proceeds of his note. The correspondent received
the money on the draft sent it for collection, but before plaintiff's draft
was paid by the correspondent the bank failed: Held, That the bank was
only agent for plaintiff, and that the money derived from his note was a
trust fund, which did not become a part of the bank's assets. Foster v.
Bincker, 35 P., 470.
B forwarded to bank a draft for collection. On July 22, 1893, bank made
collection, and the same day forwarded its draft on New York. On July
26, bank failed, and a receiver was appointed. Draft was presented after
the failure, and payment refused. B brought suit to secure a preference
in payment: Held, That when a draft is forwarded to a bank for collection,
in the absence of instructions to the contrary, it is with the understanding
that upon collection the title to the proceeds shall vest in the collecting
bank, and that said bank shall remit to its correspondent the equivalent
of such proceeds, by the system of exchanges established by the universal
custom among banks, and when this has been done no preference can arise.
Bowman et al.Y. Clark et al., Washington supreme court, October, 1894.
Where one deposits a draft with a national bank, and the bank sends it to an
agent for collection, who collects it, and the bank fails before receiving
the avails, having been insolvent at the time of the deposit, the depositor
inav rescind the transaction for fraud and recover the avails from the
agent. Craigie v. Smith, 14 Abb. N. C, 409; 3 N. B. C, 679.
Plaintiff sent a draft to a bank for collection. The bank collected it and
then passed into the hands of a receiver without remitting. The bank
had previously made similar collections for plaintiff, the proceeds of which
were always remitted to him promptly, and never credited to him as a
dsposit: Held, That plaintiff was entitled to be paid the entire proceeds of
the draft out of the bank assets in the receiver's hands, since the bank was
his trustee, and not his debtor. Hunt v. Townsend, 26 S. W., 310.Under an agreement between plaintiff bank and the H. bank that the latter
should collect notes and checks forwarded it by plaintiff for a commission,
and remit daily, the relation of principal and agent as to any paper ceased
on collection, and the relation of creditor and debtor as to cash immediately arose. First National Bank of JRichmond v. Davis, 19 S. E., 280.
On failure of the H. bank, it being shown that its cashier had no knowledge
of its insolvency till the failure, it is not chargeable as for a conversion of
funds of plaintiff which it has mingled with its own funds, since, in the

absence of such knowledge on the cashier's part the contract, with its

Where plaintiff and defendant banks for several years had acted as agents
for each other in the collection of checks, notes, and drafts, 7and where
plaintiff sent defendant a note "for collection and credit' which on
maturity was paid by a check and credit was immediately given on the
books, but defendant failed and the check passed into the hands of a
Teceiver: Held, that in view of the course of dealing the two banks stood
in the relation of debtor and creditor with respect to the amount of the
check, and it became part of the assets of the bank. Franklin County
National Bank v. Beal, 49 Fed. Rep., 606.
Whether the title to a check deposited with a bank passes to the bank
before collection, so as to immediately create the relation of debtor and
creditor between it and the depositor, is a question of fact, depending
upon the circumstances and course of dealing in each particular case.
City of Somerville v. Beal, 49 Fed. Rep., 190.
Where a bank in accordance with its custom credited checks deposited by a
customer at the close of each day's business, retaining the right to subsequently charge off the same if returned unpaid from the clearing house,
and the bank became insolvent on a succeeding day, title in the checks
passed to the bank so as to create the relation of debtor and creditor.
Ib.
Where a national bank collected all papers sent to it by complainant under
an arrangement which constituted the bank the agent of complainant, the
latter can recover, on the ground of a trust, from a receiver of the bank
such portion only of the proceeds of its paper sent to the bank as it shows
has passed into the receiver's hands, either in its original or some substituted form. Commercial National Bank v. Armstrong, 39 Fed. Bep., 684.
Where checks and drafts sent from one bank to another indorsed " for collection" and credited "subject to payment" accordingto the dealings between
the banks, and part of them were paid to the receiver of the latter bank
after its failure and the balances were credited to it by the payors, the
amount paid the receiver should be accounted for as a trust fund, but the
balance as a general debt. First National Bank v. Armstrong, 42 Fed.
Rep., 193.
Negotiable paper with restrictive indorsement credited by agent on date of
receipt "subject to payment," although account is subject to be drawn

proceeds in the hands of the collecting agent. Fifth National Bank v.
Armstrong, 40 Fed. Rep., 46.
The drawers of a draft deposited with a bank for collection, and by it forwarded to a correspondent bank, are entitled to the amount as against
the receiver of the forwarding bank, which was insolvent, and known to
be so by its officers when it received the draft, and suspended payment
before the proceeds
were withdrawn from the collecting bank. Importers
and Traders7 National Bank v. Peters et al., 123 N. Y., 272. '
When a bank which has received a draft for collection sends it to another
bank for that purpose, and on being advised that the latter bank has collected the draft credits the depositor and then becomes insolvent without
having received the money from the collecting bank, the depositor remains
the owner of the draft, and is entitled to its proceeds from the collecting
bank against the receiver and the creditors of the insolvent bank. Armstrong \. National Bank of Boyertoun, 11. S. W. 411; Manufacturers' National
Bank v. Continental Bank et ah, 20 N. W. 193.
A bank which collects a draft sent to it by another bank for that purpose
with directions to remit the proceeds to a third bank for the owner's
account does not thereby become a trustee, so that the fund can be followed
into the hands of a receiver, although it had become mixed with the other
cash of the bank before his appointment; especially when it appears that
the business was carried on, and money paid out, for several days after
the collection was probably made. Merchants and Farmers' Bank v. Austin

CONSTITUTIONALITY :
1. Congress has the constitutional power to incorporate banks. McCulloch v.
Maryland, 4 Wheat., 316; Osborne v. Bank of the United States, 9 Wheat, 738.
2. Congress has power to clothe national-banking associations, as to their contracts and dealiugs with the world, with any special immunities and privileges exempting them, in their trade and intercourse with others, from the
laws and remedies applicable in like cases to other citizens. The Chesapeake Bank v. The First Xational Bank of Baltimore, 40 Md., 269.
3. Thus, the provision of the banking law that no attachment, injunction, or
execution shall issue against a national-banking association before final
judgment in any suit, action, or proceeding in a State court is constitutional. Ib.
4. Congress having, in the exercise of undisputed constitutional powers, undertaken to provide a currency for thn whole country, may secure the benefit
of it to the people by appropriate legislation. Veazie Bank v. Fenno, 8
Wall., 533.
5. Congress has the power to divest the United States courts of their jurisdiction of suits by or against national-banking associations. National Bank
of Jefferson v. Fare et aL, 25 Fed. Piep., 209.
6. National-banking associations, being instruments designed to aid the Government in the administration of a branch of the public service, can not
be controlled by the States, except in so far as Congress may see proper to
permit. Fanners and Mechanics' Bank v. Bearing, 91 V*. S., 29.
7. A State law prohibiting the establishment of banking companies in the State
without the authority of the legislature was not intended to apply to
banking corporations created by authority of Congress, since such corporations may be legally established in the State without the consent of the
legislature. Stetson v. City of Bangor, 56 Me., 274.
8. National-banking corporations, organized under the acts of Congress providing for their creation, are agencies or instruments of the General Government, designed to aid in the administration of an important branch of the
public service, and are an appropriate constitutional means to that end.
Pollard v. The State ex rel. Znber, 65 Ala., 628.
9. The national-banking acx is an enabling act for associations organized under
it, and one can not rightfully exercise any powers except those expressly
granted, or such incidental powers as are necessary to carry on the business for which it was established. Logan County National Bank v. Townsend, 139 U. S., 67.
CONSTRUCTION OF LAW:
1. The Federal courts, when called upon to construe the general commercia
law of Indiana in respect to a question which is a new one in the Federal
courts, should give weight to the Indiana decisions, although they are
not absolutely bound thereby. The Farmers' National Bank of Valparaiso,
Inch, v. Sutton Mfg. Co., 52 Fed. Rep., 191.
2. The intention or the legislature, clearly expressed in a constitutional enactment, should not be defeated by too rigid adherence to the letter of the
statute, or by technical rules of construction. Any construction should
be disregarded which leads to absurd consequences. Oates v. First
National Bank of Montgomery, 100 U. S., 239; 2 N. B. C, 35.
3. The Federal courts are not bound by decisions of State courts upon questions
of general commercial law. Ib.
4. In a statute which contains invalid or unconstitutional provisions, that
which is unaffected by those provisions, or which can stand without them,
must remain. If the valid and invalid are capable of separation, only the
latter are to be disregarded. Supervisors of Albany v. Stanley, 12 Fed.
Rep., 82.
5. Where the State and Federal courts have concurrent jurisdiction, a State
statute of limitation may be pleaded as effectively in a Federal court as
it could be in a State court; and in such cases the Federal courts will

follow the decisions of the local State tribunals and will administer the
same justice which the State courts would administer between the same
parties. Price, Receiver of Venango National Bank, v. Yates, 19 Alb. L. J.,
295; 2 N. B. C, 204.
Repeals by implication are not favored by the courts, and in the absence of
express words of repeal it is the duty of the court to give effect to a prior
statute, if it can be done, unless the repugnancy between the two is so absolute and palpable as to be recognized at once. United States v. Cooke Co.
Nat. Bank, 25 Int. Rev. Record, 266; 2 N. B. C, 128.
It is the peculiar province of the supreme court of the State to determine the
meaning of the statutes of such State, and with such determination courts
of the United States will hesitate to place upon a State statute any construction which will bring such statute in conflict with a statute of the
United States, and therefore render it void. Davenport Nat. Bank v. Mittelbuscher, collector, et al., 15 Fed. Rep., 225.
The punctuation of a statute is not made to be relied on, and must be disregarded if it requires a construction which is repugnant to a sense of justice. United States v. Vorhees, 9 Fed. Rep., 143.
Where Congress has enacted a law covering a particular case, such law must
prevail in the federal courts, though it differs from the State law. Stephens
v. Bern ays, 42 Fed. Rep., 48S.
Among the assets of an insolvent national bank were three mortgages, which
were sought to be impeached by the assignees of the mortgagor as having
been given in violation of the insolvency law of the State. Plaintiff,
receiver of the bank, claimed that the State law was inoperative upon the
assets of a national bank, and was ineffectual to divest him of the title
acquired by the mortgages: Held, That the mortgages were governed by
the State law, and the bank took them with all the limitations imposed
by the laws of the State upon them. Witters, Receiver, etc., v. Soivlesct al,
32 Fed. Rep., 758.
As the Supreme Court of the United States has decided that it has authority
to reexamine the judgment of a State court as to the power of national
banks under the act of Congress, a State court should follow its decisions
on the question. First National Bank of Aberdeen v. Andrews et al.; Young
v. Same.

it may enforce all contracts made with it while a State corporation. City
National Bank v. Phelps, 97 N. I . , 44.

National Bank of Crawford, 69 Venn. St., 426.
3. A national-banking association, organized as the successor of a State bank,
may take
and hold the assets of the bank whose place it takes, though
there wTas not in form a conversion from a State to a national corporation
but the organization of a new corporation. Bank v. Mclntyre, 40 Ohio St.,
528.
4. And such association will be liable to the depositors of the former bank.
Fans v. Exchange Bank, 79 Mo., 182.
5. A State law authorizing national-banking associations which have been converted from State banks to use the name of the original corporation for
the purpose of prosecuting and defending suits is not in conflict with the
national-banking law, and therefore proceedings based upon a judgment
obtained before the conversion may be instituted by such association in
its former corporate name. Thomas v. Farmers' Bank of Maryland, 46
Md., 43.
6. The conversion of a State bank into a national bank, with a change of name,
under the national-bank act does not affect its identity or its right to sue
upon liabilities incurred to it by its former name. Michigan Insurance
Bank v. Fldred, 143 U. S., 293.
7. No authority other than that conferred by act of Congress is necessary to
enable any State bank to become a national-banking association. Casey
v. Galli, 94 U. S., 673.
8. When a State bank is converted into a national-banking association all of
the directors at the time will continue to be directors of the association
until others are appointed or elected, though some of them may not have
joined in the execution of the articles of association and organization
certificate. Lockwood v. The American National Bank, 9 R. /., 308.

statute provided that the State bank should be continued a body corporate
for three years for the purpose of prosecuting and defending suits, closing
its concerns, and conveying its property. Atlantic National Bank T. Harris,
118 Mass., 147; 2 N B. C, 454.
12. The provisions in the statute in New York of April 11, 1859 (Laws of 1859,
chap. 236), as to the redemption of circulating notes issued by a State
bank, and the release of the bank if the notes should not be presented
within six years, do not apply to a State bank converted into a national
bank under the act of March 9, 1865, and not "closing the business of
banking." Metropolitan National Bank v. Claggett, 141 U. S., 520.
13. The conversion of a State bank in New York into a national bank, under the
act of the legislature of that State of March 9, 1865 (N. Y. Lawe of 1865,
chap. 97), did not destroy its identity or its corporate existence, nor discharge it as a national bank from its liability to holders of its outstanding
circulation, issued in accordance with State laws. 1b.
14. No authority from a State is necessary to enable a State bank to become a
national bank. Casey v. Galli, 94 U. S., 527; 1 N. B. C, 137.
CRIMINAL LAW: See False eniries; Indictment.
1. The willful misapplication of the moneys and funds of a national-banking
association, made an offense by sec. 5209, Rev. St., must be for the use or
benefit of the party charged, or of some person or company other than the
association. United States v. Britton, 107 U. S., 655.
2. It is not necessary that the officer should personally misapply the funds of the
association. He will be guilty as a principal offender though he merely
procures or causes the misapplication. United States v. Fish, 24 Fed. liep\,
585.
3. A loan in bad faith, with intent to defraud the association, is a willful misapplication within the meaning of the statute. Ib.
4. It is no defense to a charge of embezzlement, abstraction, or misapplication
of the funds of a national-banking association that the funds were used
with the knowledge and consent of the president and some of the directors.
The intent to defraud is to be conclusively presumed from the commission
of the offense. United States v. Taintor, 11 Blatch., 374.
5. If, with intent to defraud the association, an officer allows a firm in which he
is a member to overdraw its account, be will be guilty of misapplying the
funds of the association. In the matter'of Van Camp en, 2 Ben.. 419.
6. Allowing the withdrawal of the deposit of one indebted to the association
can not be charged as a misapplication of the money of the association.
United States v. Britton, 108 U. S., 193.
7. It is not a willful misapplication of the moneys of the association within the
meaning of sec. 5209, Rev. St., for a president who is insolvent to procure
the discounting by the association of his note not well secured. Ib.
8. To constitute the offense of a willful misapplication of the moneys, funds, or
credits of the association within sec. 5209, Rev. St., it is not necessary that
the person charged with the offense should have been previously in the
actual possession of such moneys, funds, and credits under or by virtue of
any trust, duty, or employment committed to him. Nor is it necessary to
the commission of this offense that the officer making the willful misapplication should derive any personal benefit therefrom. When the funds
or assets of the bank are unlawfully taken from its possession, and afterward willfully misapplied by converting them to the use of any person
other than the bank, with intent to injure and defraud, the offense as
described in the statute is committed. United States v. Harper, 33 Fed.
Bep., 471.

such control, direction, and power of management by virtue of his relation
to the bank as to direct an application of its funds in such manner and
under such circumstances as to constitute the offense of willful misapplication, and actually makes such direction or causes such misapplication to
be made, he is equally as guilty as if it was done by his own hands. lb.
The officers of a national-banking association may be prosecuted under
State statutes for fraudulent conversion of the property of individuals
deposited with, and in the custody of, the association. Commonwealth v.
Tehney, 97 Mass., 50; State v. Fuller, 34 Conn., 280.
As the national-banking law makes the embezzlement, abstraction, or willful misapplication of the funds of a national-banking association merely
a misdemeanor, a person who procures such an offense to be committed
can not be punished under a State statute which provides that a person
who procures a felony to be committed may be indicted and convicted of
a substantive felony. Commonwealth v. Felton, 101 Mass., 204.
It is not a conspiracy against United States, under sec. 5440, Rev. St., nor
a willful misapplication of money of bank, under sec. 5209, for president
and director of bank to cause shares of its stock to be purchased with its
money and held on trust. United States v. Britton, 108 U. S., 192.
It is not a willful misapplication of bank money by the president, under
sec. 5209, for him to procure the discount by bank for his own benefit of
an unsecured note on which both maker and indorser are insolvent to his
knowledge, lb., 193.
Nor is president liable for a criminal violation of that section solely by
reason of permitting a depositor who is largely indebted to bank to withdraw his deposits without first paying such indebtedness. lb.
The procuring by two or more directors of the declaration of a dividend at a
time when there are no net profits to pay it, is not a willful misappropriation of money of bank within sec. 5204, Rev. St. lb., 199.
Where the president, charged as a trustee with the administration of the
funds of the bank in his hands, converts then: to his own use without
authority for so doing, he embezzles and abstracts them within the meaning of sec. 5209, Rev. ISt. In the matter of Van Campen, 2 Ben., 419.
To constitute the offense of willful abstraction by an officer, defined by the
statute, it is necessary that the money or funds of the association should
be withdrawn by the officer or by his direction; that such taking or withdrawing should be without the knowledge or consent of the bank, or of its
board of directors; that the money or funds so taken or withdrawn should
be converted to the officer's own use, or for the benefit and advantage of
some person other than the association, and that this should be done with
intent to injure and defraud the associatioc lb., United States v. Harper,
33 Fed. Bep'., 471.
An officer of a national-banking association can not be punished under State
laws for embezzling the funds of the association. Commonwealth ex rel.
Tor ret/ v. Ketncr, 92 Perm. St., 372; Commonwealth v. Felton, 101 Mass., 204.
But where the offense committed by an officer is properly a larceny of the
funds, and not an embezzlement, he may be indicted under a State law.
Commonwealth v. Barry, 116 Mass., 1.
The word "embezzle," as found in the United States Rev. St., is used to
describe a crime which a person has an opportunity to commit by reason
of some office or employment, and which may include some breach of confidence or trust. United States v. Cotiant, 9 Cent. L. J., 129; 2 JSr. B. C, 148.
Section 1025 of the Rev. St. provides: "No indictment * * * shall be
deemed insufficient * * * in a matter of form only:" Held, That anything that forms a part of the description of the crime is not a "matter
of form.77 lb.
Embezzlement, abstraction, and willful misapplication of the moneys, funds,
etc., of a national bank, as described in Rev. St., sec. 5209, constitute
three separate crimes or offenses, which, under Rev. St., sec. 1024, may be
joined in one indictment, but must be stated in separate counts. United
States v. Cadwallader, 59 Feel. Bep., 677.
The exercise of official discretion in good faith, without fraud, for the advantage or the supposed advantage of the association, is not punishable; but
if official action be taken in bad faith, for personal advantage and with
fraudulent intent, it is punishable. United Slates v. Fish, 24 Fed. Bep,, 585.
It is competent for a State by penal enactments to protect Its citizens in
their dealings with national-banking associations located within the State.

26. Purchase of stock in violation of sec. 5201, Rev. St., made with intent to
defraud, and by officers named in sec. 5209, is not punishable under latter
section. United States v. Britton, 107 U. S., 655.
DEPOSITS :
1. The relation of banker and depositor is that of debtor and creditor. Deposits
on general account belong to the bank and are part of its general fund.
The bank becomes a debtor to the depositor to the amount thereof, and
the debt can only be discharged by payment to the depositor, or pursuant
to his order. The JFAna National Bank v. The Fourth National Bank, 46
N. Y., 82.
2. The contract has none of the elements of a trust. For a breach on the part
of the bank of the obligation resulting from the relations between the
parties the depositor alone can sue. / / ; .
3. General deposits in a commercial bank on account of the depositor, without
being complicated by any other transaction than that of tbe depositing
arid withdrawing of the moneys, transfers the ownership of the money to
the bank; and the relationship with reference thereto, as between the
bank and the depositor, is simply that of debtor and creditor. Collins v.
State, 15 So., 214.
4. A deposit made in the usual course of business Tests m the bank, and can not
be recovered by the depositor on the ground of fraud, though the bank
was insolvent and failed on tbe next day, and though the deposit was made
in reliance on representations of the president that the bank was all right,
unless the officers of the bank knew of its insolvency at the time of the
deposit. New York Breweries Co. v. Biggins, 29 N. Y. S., 416.
5. A trustee who deposits in a bank and causes to be credited to his private
account money of the trust fund without giving any notice that it is not
his private property or making any special agreement in regard to it,
thereby converts it to his own use; so that the bank, in the absence of
any notice that it is not his private property, may apply it as such.
School District v. First National Bank, 102 Mass., 174.
6. Where an agent deposits in a. bank, to his own account, the proceeds of
property sold by him for his principal under instructions thus to keep it,
a trust is impressed upon the deposit in favor of the principal, and his
right thereto is not affected by the fact that the agent at the same time
deposits other moneys belonging to'himself; nor is it affected by the fact
that the agent, instead of depositing the identical moneys received by
him on account of his principal, substitutes other moneys therefor. Van
Allen v. The American National Bank, 52 N. Y., 1.
7. Where an agent or trustee has deposited money belonging to his principal
or beneiiciary in a bank to which he is himself indebted, and the hank,
without his authority and in ignorance of the true ownership of the fund,
has applied it on the debt, the owner is not debarred from recovering it
from the bank if it can be identified. Bnrlnett, adm'r, v. The First National
Bank,*38 Mich., 630.
8. A bank is not chargeable with interest on sums deposited to the credit of
customers to be drawn against by check, until payment be demanded, unless
upon special contract. Parkersburg National Bank v. Andy A Is., 5 Ya., 50.
9. Unlike checks, cash deposited by customers with the bank ceases to be the
property of the depositor, and becomes the property of the bank, creating
at once the relationship of debtor and creditor. Balbach et al.Y. Frelinghuysen, Receiver, etc., 15 Fed. Rep., 675.
DEPUTY COMPTROLLER:
1. A certificate signed by the Deputy Comptroller of the Currency as " Acting
Comptroller of the Currency," is a sufficient certificate by the Comptroller
of the Currency within the requirements of Rev. St., par. 5154. Keyset*
v. Hitz, 133 U. S., 138.

does so deal with it in respect to the matter in suit, he is estopped from
denying its incorporation. National Bank of Fairhaven v. The Phcenix
Warehousing Company, 6 Hun., 71.
2. A director is not, by reason of his position, estopped from setting up the
defense of usury "in an action brought against him by the association.
Bank of Cadiz v. Slemons, 34 Ohio St., 142.
3. Where a national-banking association has entered into a contract which it
is not authorized to make, a party who has enjoyed the benefit of such
contract can not question its validity. Casey v. La Societe de Credit Mobilier, 2 Woods, 77; German National Bank v. Meadowcroft, 95 III., 124.
4. Where officer of a bank guaranteed payment in name of bank and sold the
note, the bank by retention and enjoyment of the proceeds is estopped to
deny officer's act. People's Bank v. National Bank, 101 U. 8., 181.
5. The organization of a national bank under the national-banking act may bo
put in issue by a party who has not estopped himself. But a party who
has accepted as payee a promissory note payable at a banking institution
which the parties'to the note style a national bank, and has sold and
transferred the note to such banking institution, can not be alloAved to
raise that issue by merely averring want of knowledge or information
sufficient to form &, belief as to whether the institution is a body corporate,
etc. Huffakcr v. National Bank of Monticello, 12 Bush, 287; 1 N. B. C, 504.
6. If, upon inquiry by the surety, the cashier, knowing that he is a surety,
inform him that the note is paid, intending that he should rely upon his
statement, and the surety does so, and in consequence changes his position
by giving up securities, or indorsing other notes for the principal, or the
like, the bank will be estopped to deny that such note is paid. Cochecho
National Bank v. Haskell et al., 51 N. H., 116.
7. A stockholder of a private corporation, when sued by its creditors, is estopped
from denying the legal existence of the corporation, or insisting that its
charter has been forfeited by noncompliance with statutory provisions for
which a forfeiture might be judicially declared. National Commercial
Bank v. McDonnell, 92 Ala., 387.
B. Insolvent banks—
8. Where an officer of a bank loaned money for his individual.benefit upon pretended collateral security of the bank: Held, That his bank was estopped
to deny the loan and is liable therefor, as the lender dealt with him solely
in his official capacity. Stewart v. Armstrong, 56 Fed. Rep., 167.
9. Vice-president of bank, also manager of a commercial house, substituted as
collateral notes to order of his house, and indorsed by them without consideration: Held, That, as against holders of collateral, the house was
estopped to deny that these notes were properly pledged as security for a
loan to his bank. Ib.
10. The estoppel upon his bank exists only in favor of lender. Hence, his house
has no remedy against it for any liability enforced by the lender on account
of its indorsed notes so pledged. Ib.

books of the bank and the burden of proof is upon him to show that he is
not in fact the owner. Finn v. Brown, 142 U. S., 56.
13. A shareholder against whom suit is brought to recover the assessment made

debtors of the bank when sued by him. The bank may move to have the
appointment set aside, but the debtors can not. Cadle v. Baker, 20 Wall.,
650; Platt v. Beebe, 57 N. Y., 339.
EVIDENCE:
1. The certificate of the Comptroller of the Currency that an association has
complied with all the provisions required to be complied with before commencing the business of banking is admissible in evidence upon a plea of
nul tiel corporation; and such certificate, together with proof that the
association has been acting as a national-banking association for a long
time, is amply sufficient evidence to establish, at least prima facie, the
existence of the corporation. Mixv. The National Bank of Bloomington, 91
III., 20; Merchants7 National Bank of Bang or v. Glendon, 120 Mass., 97.
2. The certificate of the Comptroller of the Currency duly made is sufficient evidence of the appointment of the receiver in an action brought by him.
Platt v. Beebe, 57 N. Y., 339; 1 N. B. C, 725.
3. And in a suit against the association or its shareholders such certificate of the
Comptroller is conclusive as to the completeness of the organization.
Casey v. Galli, 94 U. S., 673.
4. Under the national-banking act, a copy of the certificate of organization of a
United States national bank, which is certified by the Comptroller of'the
Currency and authenticated by his seal of office, is competent evidence in
a Sta^e court. Tapley v. Martin, 116 Mass., 275; 1 N. B. C, 611.
5. In an action by " The West River National Bank of Jamaica, Vermont": Held,
That the certificate of the Comptroller of the Currency of the existence of
a corporation under the name of "The West River National Bank of
Jamaica," described as located in the town of Jamaica, Vermont, was
admissible under the general issue for the purpose of proving the plaintiff's corporate existence. Thatcher v. West River National Bank, 19
Mich., 196; 1 N. B. C, 622.
6. It is no objection to the admission in evidence of the certificate of the organization of a national bank, that the notary before whom it was acknowledged was one of the shareholders of the bank. The Comptroller's certificate of compliance with the act of Congress removes any objection which
might otherwise have been made to the evidence on which he acted. Ib.
7. A certificate signed by the Deputy Comptroller of the Currency as "Acting
Comptroller of the Currency" is a sufficient certificate by the Comptroller
of the Currency within the requirements of Rev. St., sec. 5154. Aspinivall
v. Butler, 133 tf. S., 595.
8. A letter from the Comptroller directing the receiver to institute suit, if not
objected to at the time, is sufficient evidence that the Comptroller has
decided that the enforcement of the individual liability of the shareholders is necessary. Bowden v. Johnson, 107 U. $., 251.
9. In an action by a national bank, plaintiff may prove that it is a corporation
de facto by parol evidence; that it is carrying on a general banking business as a national bank, authorized by the general laws of the United
States, under the name by which it has sued, the court taking judicial
notice of such laws. Yakima National Bank v. Knipe, 33 P. 834; 6 Wash.,

EXECUTION :
A judgment against a national bank in the hands of a receiver only establishes
the validity of the claim; the plaintiff can have no execution on such
judgment, but must wait pro rata distribution. Bank of Bethel v. Pahquioque Bank, 14 Wall., 383.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
EXPIRATION OF CORPORATE EXISTENCE:
Under the act of Congress, July 12, 1882, extending for the purpose of liquidation the franchises of such national banking associations as do not extend
the periods of their charters, and making applicaole to them the statute
relating to liquidation of banking associations, such an association may
continue to elect officers and directors for the purpose of effecting liquidation. But after the expiration of the term of its charter the stock of such
an association is not transferable so as to give the transferee the right to
share in the election of directors, and such transferee, not being a stockholder, is ineligible as a director under Rev. St., sec. 5145. Richards v.
Atlleboro National Bank, 148 Mass., 187 ; 3 N. B. C, 495.
EXTENSION OF CORPORATE EXISTENCE :
The identity of a national bank is not affected by the extension of its term of
existence. Trustees of First Presbyterian Church v. National State Bank, 29
A., 820.
FALSE ENTRIES:
1. The only remedy for the making of a false return to the auditor, by the cashier
of a bank, of the resources and liabilities of the bank for the purposes of
taxation is afforded by revised statutes of Ohio, section 2679, which
provides that the auditor may examine the books of the bank, and any officer or agent of it under oath, and make out the statement; and any officer
of the bank may be fined not exceeding $100 for failing to make the statement, or for willfully making a false one. Miller v. First National Bank,
21 N. E. 860.
2. Any entry on the books of the bank which is intentionally made to represent
what is not true or what does not exist, with intent either to deceive its
officers or defraud the association, is a false entry within the meaning of
the statute. United States v. Harper, 33 Fed. Hep., 471.
3. It may be made personally or by direction, lb.
4. The erasure of figures already written in the books of a national bank and
the substitution of other figures which falsify the state of the account constitute a " false entry" within the meaning of sec. 5209, Rev. St.,
by which it is declared to be a misdemeanor to make any " false entry
in any book, report, or statement of the association, with intent to injure
or defraud," etc. United States v. Crecelius, 34 Fed. Rep., 30%
5. Where false entries are made by a clerk at the direction of the president, the
latter is a principal. In the matter of Van Campen, 2 Ben.f 419; United
States v. Fish, 24 Fed. Rep., 5S5.
6. A report of condition of a national bank, whether called for by the Comptroller of the Currency or not, which is a report in the usual form made by
an officer of the bank in his official capacity, if it contains a false entry
made with intent to deceive, is within Rev." St., sec. 5209, which declares
such false entries to be a misdemeanor. United States v. Hughitt, 45 Fed.
Rep., 47.
7. Where false entries were made by a bookkeeper in a statement requested by
a national-bank examiner purporting to give the balance due to depositors,
which statement it was the duty of the examiner to make and not the
bookkeeper, an indictment for making "false entries in a statement of
the association" will not be.sustained. United States v. Eqe, 49 Fed. Rep.,
852.
8. In an indictment of an officer of a national bank under sec. 5209, Rev. St.,
for making false entries in a report to the Comptroller of the Currency, it
is no defense that such entries were made by a clerk and verified by the
officer without actual knowledge of their truth, since it was his duty to
inform himself. United States v. Allen, 47 Fed. Rep., 696.
9. A " false entry" in a report by a national-bank officer or a director to Comptroller of the Currency within the meaning of sec. 5209 is not merely
an incorrect entry made through inadvertent negligence or mistake, but
is an entry known to the maker to be untrue and incorrect and by him
intentionally entered while so knowing its false and untrue character.
United States v. Graves, 53 Fed. Rep., 634.
10. In determining whether a certain false entry, made by a national-bank officer
in a report to the Comptroller, was made with intent to deceive or defraud,
etc., within the meaning of tbe statute, the jury are authorized to infer
the intent if the natural and legitimate result of such false entry would
be to deceive any other officer or officers of the bank or any agent appointed
to examine into its affairs. Ib.

FALSE ENTRIES—Continued.
11. In determining whether defendant made a ''false entry" within
the meaning
of the statute when he included in such report, as il Loans and discounts" of the bank, amounts which were being carried on the books of
the bank as "overdrafts," the jury will not consider whether other
national banks followed the
same practice; but the jury, in determining
whether such entry, if a u false entry, " was made with intent to deceive
and defraud, may consider whatever knowledge defendant is shown to
have had as to practice of any other national bank in this respect. Ib.
12. It is not necessary to complete the offense of making a " false entry" in a
report to the Comptroller of the Currency of the condition of a national
bank, with intent to deceive or defraud, that any person shall have been
in fact actually deceived or defrauded; for the making of such a "false
entry" with the intent to deceive or defraud is sufficient. Ib.
13. Under sec. 5209 of the national-bank act it is an indictable offense to make
a false entry in a report to the Comptroller of the Currency, or to aid
and abet the making of such entry. United States v. French et al., 57 Fed.
Rep., 382.
14. It is not a ufalse entry" to enter under heading of " Loans and discounts"
items which, on books of the bank, and for convenience of its officers,
have been temporarily withdrawn from that heading, and which are, from
day today, carried on the books of the bank under heading of " Suspended
loans" while awaiting action of directors as to same being withdrawn
from character of loans and entered up as a loss on profit and loss account.
United States v. Graves, 53 Fed. Rep., 634.
FORFEITURE OF CHARTER.
1. Forfeiture of the privileges and powers of a national bank must be determined
by a suit brought by the Comptroller of the Currency and until determined
it may do business, and no person, by a conspiracy to evade its regulations,
may escape liability for borrowed money loaned by it, upon personal security in the manner authorized. Stephens v. Monongahela National Bank, 88
Penn. St., 157; 32 Am. Rep., 438; 2 N. B. C, 398.
2. Under Rev. St., sec. 5239, providing that if the directors of a national bank
shall violate any of the provisions of the title relating to the organization
and management of banks, the franchises of the bank shall be forfeited,
such violation, however, to be determined by a proper court of the United
States in a suit therefor by the Comptroller, and that in cases of such
violation every director participating therein shall be personally liable for
all damages which the bank, its shareholders, or any other person shall
have sustained in consequence thereof, the Comptroller can not authorize
the receiver to bring suit, under sec. 5234, to enforce such personal liability, until it has been adjudged by a proper court that such acts have
been done as authorize a forfeiture of the charter. Welles v. Graves, 41
Fed. Rep., 459.
3. The forfeiture of the rights, privileges, and franchises of a bank authorized
by Rev. St., sec. 5239, for violation by its directors of the provisions of the
banking act, comes within sec. 1047, limiting suits for any penalty or
forfeiture accruing under the laws of the United States to five years, Ib.
4. The right to maintain an action under Rev. St., sec. 5239, to recover from a
bank director the damages sustained by his bank in consequence of
excessive loans made by him while serving in the capacity of director, is
not affected by the fact that the Comptroller has or has not procured a
forfeiture of the bank's charter. Stephens v. Overstolz, 43 Fed. Rep.,771.
5. In an information charging that "the banking association and the directors
thereof did knowingly permit," etc., the allegation that the association,
aside from the directors, permitted the doing of the alleged acts, tenders
an immaterial issue, and should be stricken out on motion. Trenholm,
Comptroller, v. Commercial National Bank, 38 Fed. Rep., 323.
6. As the section only refers to acts done by the directors, or by the executive
officers with the knowledge of the directors, an information seeking a
forfeiture, which charges that the association did the act, is insufficient. Ib.
FORGERIES :
1. A depositor owes a duty to the bank to make an examination of his pass
book and vouchers within a reasonable time ; and if loss would result to
the bank from his failure to do so he can not recover for forged checks
paid by the bank and charged to his account. First National Bank v.
Allen, 14So.y 835.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
FORGERIES—Continued.
2. Where the examination is committed to a clerk or agent who has himself
committed the forgeries, his concealment of such forgeries will not relieve
the depositor from the consequences of the failure to discover the fraud
and notify the bank. Ib.
3. But if the omission of the depositor to discharge such duty has resulted in no
injury to the hank, the depositor may recover. Ib.
4. Where, however, forgeries by the same person are committed after the depositor is chargeable with knowledge of the fact, the failure of the depositor
to give the bank notice may estop him to dispute the genuineness of such
checks. 1b.
5. Plaintiff bank paid defendant bank money on a forged order, made j)ayable
at plaintiff bank, bearing the general indorsement of the payee and of
defendant, the latter being uFor collection.;; The person by whom the
order purported to be drawn was a customer of plaintiff, and had directed
it to pay orders drawn by him. The forgery was not discovered for four
weeks: Held, That an answer alleging that at the time of the payment
the payee had property from which the order could have been collected,
but that before the discovery of the forgery the payee had departed with
his property, was not sufficient to prevent recovery of the money paid
defendant, as it did not show how long the payee and the property
remained within reach, and, therefore, failed to show loss to defendant
by unreasonable delay of plaintiff in discovering the forgery and notifying
defendant. Indiana National Bank v. First National Bank, 36 N. E., 382.
6. In an action against a bank by a depositor to recover the amount of checks
drawn by plaintiff, but alleged to have been paid by defendant on indorsements of the payees' names forged by plaintiff's cashier, part ot whose
duty was to fill in the body of checks for plaintiff to sign, pay bills, and
keep the accounts, it appeared that the money on the checks in question
had been obtained by plaintiff's cashier, but there was no evidence that
any payees had been named in them, the canceled checks having been
destroyed by the cashier: Held, That plaintiff" could not recover, as ifc
would not be presumed that the cashier committed forgery in addition to
the embezzlement, uwhen he could
have avoided forgery by making the
checks payable to cash " or tl bearer," in which event defendant would
not be liable. National Bqard of Marine Underwriters v. National Bank of
the Republic, 29 N. Y. 8., 698.
7. Defendant bank received a check drawn on plaintiff for collection. After
plaintiff had remitted to defendant and defendant had paid the holder of
the check, it was discovered that the payee's name was forged: Held,
That delay of plaintiff in notifying defendant of the forgery did not
relieve defendant from liability, where the only evidence of injury from
the delay was that of defendant's cashier, who said: " I f more seasonable
notice had been given the forger would have been arrested earlier, and
more .favorable
results might have arisen." Third National Bank v.
Merchants1 National Bank, 27 N. Y. 8., 1070.
GUARANTY:
A personal guaranty, given by stockholders and directors to another bank in
consideration of loans, discounts, or other advances to be made, for the
repayment of any
indebtedness thus created, imposes a liability on the
guarantors whenr acted on by the guarantee, though no notice of the
acceptance of the guarantee was given, for the contract shows a personal
interest of the guarantors in the advances constituting a consideration
moving to them. Bond et til. v. National Park Bank, 54 Fed. Hep., 846.

INDICTMENT : See False entries.
1. An indictment under
act of July 12, 1882, amending sec. 5208, making it a
misdemeanor to tl certify any check" drawn by a person not then having
on deposit sufficient money to meet same need not allege delivery of check
by bank after certification. United States v. Potter, 56 Fed. Rep., 83.
2. When indictment alleges certification as accomplished, authentication will
not be presumed as an essential part thereof, and hence it is unnecessary
to allege absence of required credit or deposit at time of authentication.
1b.
3. The indictment in charging in the language of sec. 5208 that the drawer of
the check had not on deposit, at tlfe time it was certified, "an amount of
money equal to that specified" in the check is sufficient. Ib.
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
81
INDICTMENT—Continued.
4. The indictment does not charge two offenses in the same count because it
alleges therein that the check was certified ""before the amount thereof
had been entered to the credit of the drawer on the books of the bank,"
and also at a time when the drawer did not "have on deposit an amount
of money equal to" the amount of the check. Ib.
5. An indictment against the president for "aiding and abetting" cashier in
certifying check under prohibition can not be sustained. Ib.
6. An indictment charging defendants "with aiding and abetting a director in.a
willful misapplication of the money of an association must state facts
to show that there has been such misapplication committed by the director.
United States v. Warner, 26 Fed. Hep., 616.
7. An indictment against the president of a national bank, alleging that he
"unlawfully and willfully and with intent to injure and defraud the
said association for the use, benefit, and advantage of himself, did misapply certain of the money and funds of the association which he * * *
then and there with the intent aforesaid paid and caused to be paid" to
certain persons named, was bad for failure to allege the fact that made
such payment unlawful or criminal. United States v. Eno, 56 Fed. Hep., 218.
8. It is not essential that such indictment should allege that the acts charged
were done without the knowledge and assent of the directors of the association. Ib.
9. In indictment under Rev. St.. sec. 5209, for willfully misapplying the funds
of a national bank, it is not necessary to charge that the funds had been
previously intrusted to defendant, since such act may be done by an officer
or agent of the association without his having previously received the
funds into his manual possession. United States v. Northway, 120 U. S., 327.
10. In indictment charging president of a bank with aiding and abetting its
cashier in the misapplication of its funds, it is not necessary to aver that he
then and there knew that the person so aided and abetted was the cashier.
Ib.
11. A form of indictment which sufficiently describes and identifies the crime
of abstracting the funds of a national bank created by Rev. St., sec. 5209,
and sufficiently states the character and capacity of the bank. Ib.
12. An indictment for willfully misapplying funds of a national bank (Rev. St.,
sec. 5209), charging in general words fraudulent misapplication and intent
to defraud the bank, and describing specifically funds misapplied and the
manner of misapplication, need not negative every possible theory consistent with an honest purpose in the disposition of the funds specified.
Evans v. United States, 14 S. Ct., 934; Ib., 939.
13. An indictment charging directors of a national-banking association with
making false entries in a report of condition to the Comptroller of the
Currency can not be sustained under sec. 5209. United States v. Pottert
56 Fed. Rep., 83.
14. The use in an indictment, under sec. 5209, of the words, "then and there"
in alleging that the defendant was president or director of such bank and
made alleged false entries, is not uncertain or repugnant merely because
in one place they may refer to the whole of a day and in another to only
one instant of the day. Ib.
15. The omission of the signs for dollars and cents in the recital of alleged false
entries in reports and misnomer of reports are immaterial Avhere reports
are set out by their tenor in the indictment. Ib.
16. It is not necessary to allege specifically in such indictment that the reports
were transmitted to the Comptroller of the Currency, or that they were
published. Ib.
17. Allegations that the false entries were made with intent '-'to injure and.
defraud the said association and certain persons to the grand jurora
unknown" are sufficient. Ib.
18. An indictment against the president of a national bank, under sec. 5209,
for making false entries in the books of the bank, charging that it was
done "with intent to defraud said association and certain persons to the
grand jurors u»nknown" is sufficient so far as concerns the allegations of
intent. United States v. Potter, 56 Fed. Rep., 97.
19. When indictment alleges that the false entries indicated that there was then
in the paying teller's department of the bank certain amount in gold,
legal tenders, and gold certificates, when in fact such amount was not
there, it is not necessary that it should further allege that such amount
was not then in other departments of the bank. Ib.
20. In addition to the entries themselves, the indictment need set out the context only when it so modifies the entries as to be in presumption of law a
part of them. Ib,
8182 CUR

INDICTMENT—Continued.
21. The fact that the note teller's and paying teller's books, in which the president is charged with making the false entries are usually kept by those
officers without interference by the president does not invalidate indictment thereon. Ib.
22. Counts charging false entries by the president in reports of condition of the
bank, which allege that reports were made in conformity to the law and
then set them out by their tenor are bad, for their failure to allege specifically that the reports were verified and attested by the cashier. Ib.
23. Where the entry whose tenor is set forth contains the words "See schedule,"
it is not a valid objection to the indictment that these words are not
explained. United States v. French et al., 57 Fed. Rep., 882.
24. It is sufficient if the indictment allege the substance of the reports in question without setting them out in full. Ib.
25. An allegation in an indictment under sec. 5209 that defendant "did make
a certain false entry in a certain'report of the association" will not be
construed to mean that the entry was made after the report was completed,
and was, in fact, an alteration. Ib.
26. The preparation and completion of the report, the making of the false entry
therein, its verification, attestation, and delivery to the Comptroller, may
be considered as simultaneous, and there is no repugnance in failing to
allege that any or all of these things occurred in consecutive order. Ib.
27. Though the counts in an indictment under this section for aiding and abetting the cashier in making such false entries describe defendant as " being
then and there a director" of the bank in question, it can not be held that
they charge him in aiding and abetting in his official capacity. Ib.
28. Counts in such indictment, which charge defendant with procuring and
counseling the false entry before the fact, are valid, for such acts are covered by the clause of the section extending the penalty to any one who
" abets" an officer or agent in the acts prohibited. Ib.
29. Indictment against president for false entry on books held sufficient in form
and averments. United States v. Britton, 107 U. S., 655.
30. Indictment against president for fraudulent purchase of stock of the bank
is bad if it fails to state for whose use purchase was made, or if it states
that it was for use of the bank, or if it does not aver that it was not made
to prevent loss on previous debt. Ib.
31. Indictment for perjury against officer for false statement under sec. 5211,
Rev. St. is bad if, prior to act of 1881, chapter 82, his oath verifying
report was taken before notary appointed by a State. United States v. Curtis, 107- U. S., 671.
INJUNCTION :
1. Section 5242, Rev. St., providing that no injunctions shall issue from a
State court against*a national bank before final judgment, does not deprive
the Federal court of power to issue such injunction or to continue after
removal of the case an injunction previously granted by a. State court.
Rower v. Weiss Malting and Elevator Co. et al.,55 Fed. Rep., 356.
2. State courts have no power to grant before final judgment an injunction prohibiting a national bank from disposing of securities in its possession.
Freeman Manufacturing Company v. National Bank of Republic, 35 N. E., 865.
3. The provisions of the national-bank act, forbidding such injunctions, were
not repealed by St. U. S., 1882, c. 290, sec. 4, or St. U. S., 1887, c. 373, sec.
4, or St. U. S., 1888, c. 866, sec. 4. Ib.
INSOLVENT BANKS : See Preferred claims ; Receiver.

national bank is proof of its insolvency. Wheelock v. Kost, 77 III., 296.
2. The creditors of an insolvent national-banking association in the hands of a
receiver are entitled to interest on their claims during the period of administration. National Bank of Commonwealth v. Mechanics' National Bank, 94

with, is entitled to have the amount thereof allowed as a claim against the
assets of the bank in the receiver's hands. Armstrong v. Stanage, 37 Fed.
Rep., 568.
4. The directors of a national bank voted to increase the capital stock " t o
$1,000,000," and that the stockholders "have the right to take new stock
at par to an equal amount to that then held by them." No subscription
books were opened, and the plaintiff did not subscribe for any of the new

stock, but paid the bank a sum equal to the amount of stock then held by
her, taking a receipt therefor "on account of subscription to new stock."
The new stock subscribed for and paid in did not amount to enough .to
make the capital stock $1,000,000, and the directors then voted that the
capital stock be increased by the sum paid in. The Comptroller of the
Currency was notified that the capital stock of the bank had been
increased to that extent, and he issued a certificate authorizing the bank
to carry on business with that amount of capital stock. The amount paid
in, as above, was used by the bank in its general business, and lost within
a month after the certificate was issued, the bank having suspended. The
plaintiif demanded back the amount paid in by her: Held, That she was
entitled to recover it, with interest from the date of her demand. Eaton
v. Pacific National Bank, 144 Mass., 260;^ 3 N. B. C, 483.
A national bank determined to increase its capital stock from $300,000 to
$500,000. The new stock subscriptions amounted to only $130,060. The
bank advertised an increase to $430,060. This was never authorized by
vote of the stockholders, nor certified to or approved by the Comptroller
of the Currency. The plaintiif subscribed and paid $2,000 for so much of
the originally proposed increase: Held, That plantiff did not become a
stockholder, and when the bank became insolvent was entitled to judgment against the receiver for the amount so paid. Schierenberg v. Stephens,
32 Mo. app., 314; 3 N. B. C, 528.
Rev bt. sees. 5234 and 5239, prescribing the method of enforcing the liability
of the directors of national banks for violation of the banking law, are
exclusive of other remedies, and a creditor of an insolvent bank, for
which a receiver has been appointed, can not sue its directors for, the
purpose of making them personally liable for the mismanagement of the
bank. National Exchange Bank v. Peters et at., 44 Fed. Rep.,-13.
A national bank does not lose its corporate existence by mere default in paying its notes and the appointment of a receiver. Banh of Bethel v. Pahquioque Bank, 14 Wall., 383.
Such associations may be sued, though a receiver has been appointed and is

In 'estimating the dividends to be paid out of the assets of an insolvent
association, the value of the claims at the time when the insolvency is

A creditor will not have a lien upon the funds of the association because
checks given in settlement of balances were fraudulent, and were given

A suit against a national bank to enforce the collection of a demand is
abated by a decree dissolving the corporation, and forfeiting its rights

The claims of depositors in a suspended national bank are, when proved to
the satisfaction of the Comptroller of the Currency, on the same footing
as if they were reduced to judgments. National Bank of Commonwealth v.

The plaintiff, a citizen of New York, claiming title by assignment to the
bonds deposited with the Treasurer of the United States to secure the circulation of a national bank, filed a bill setting forth that the Comptroller
of the Currency and the Treasurer refused to recognize his right to the
bonds or their proceeds; that the Comptroller had appointed one K. a
citizen of New York, receiver of the said bank, and intended to sell the
said bonds and to pay the proceeds, after redeeming the circulation of the
bank, to the general creditors of the bank, or to K. as such receiver, and

that K. claimed as such receiver an interest adverse to the plaintiff in said
bonds. The bill made the Comptroller, the Treasurer, and K, parties
defendant, and prayed a decree establishing the plaintiff's title, and
requiring the Comptroller and the Treasurer to deliver to the plaintiff the
surplus of the bonds after redeeming the notes of the bank and annulling
the appointment of K. as receiver. K. demurred to the bill for lack of
equity: Held, That the demurrer must be sustained. Van Antwerp v.
Hulburd, 8 Blatchford, 282; 1 JST. B. C, 219.
Per Woodruff, J. (1) The plaintiff could not question the validity of K.'s
appointment as receiver; (2) that, as the court could not grant the relief
as to the Comptroller and Treasurer, it could nat as to K.; (3) that, as
under the national-banking act tho proceeds of the bonds could never come
into the possession of K., he had no concern in the suit; (4) that the allegation that plaintiff was informed and believed that K. claimed an interest in the bonds adverse to the plaintiff was not sufficient to sustain the
bill. Ib.
Per Hall, J. The residuary interest of the bank in the bonds was apart of
the assets of the bank, to which K., as receiver, was entitled, unless the
plaintiff's claim thereto was good, and that therefore the bill presented a
question of property between plaintiff and K., but that as plaintiff and K.
were residents of the same State, the circuit court had not jurisdiction. Ib.
Where a national bank is declared in default by the Comptroller of the Currency, and a receiver is appointed, and a sufficient fund is realized from its
assets to pay all claims against it and leave a surplus, the Comptroller
should allow interest on the claims during the period of administration
before appropriating the surplus to the stockholders of the bank. Chemical National Bank v. Bailey, 12 Blatchford, 480; 1N. B. C, 260.
An action of assumpsit to recover such interest will not lie against the Comptroller of the Currency or the receiver of the bank, but will lie against the
bank. Ib.
Where a bank has by reason of its own default been placed in the hands of
a receiver, a demand of payment by a depositor is no longer a necessary
condition precedent to a right of action for the deposit, and the deposit
bears interest from the time of such default. Ib.
The receiver of a national bank holds the same title to the assets of the bank
that the bank itself held; and he has no greater rights in enforcing their
recovery than the bank itself would have had. Casey v. La Societe de Credit
Mobilier de Paris, 2 Woods, 77; 1 N. B. C, 285.
Insolvent debtors of an insolvent national bank assign, giving preferences in
favor of the bank. Quaere, whether the debt preferred shall carry interest:
Held, That where there is nothing in the language of the assignment,
or in the circumstances under which the debt was created, to negative the
presumption that the debt should bear interest, and nothing in the conduct of the receiver of the national bank to estop him from claiming
interest, in such a case interest must be paid. Bain et al. v. Peters, 44Fed.
Rep., 307.
The question whether a savings bank should be paid in full by an insolvent
national bank, pursuant to the State law (Laws N. Y. 1882, chap. 409, sec.
282; Bank v. Davis, 26 N. Y. Supp., 200; 73 Hun., 357), or pro rata, as provided by the Rev. St. sees. 5236, 5242: Held, upon a motion to remand, to
be a controversy " arising under the laws of the United States." Auburn
Savings Bank v. Hayes,m61 Fed. Rep., 911.
The receipt by a bank of the proceeds of a fraudulent sale of stock belonging to it, and the subsequent appointment of a receiver, give its creditors
no such right in the proceeds as will prevent the purchaser from rescinding the sale andrequiring restitution. Merrill v. Florida Land and Improvement Co., 60 Fed. Rep., 17.
When a bank has become hopelessly insolvent, and its president knows that
it is so, it is a fraud to receive deposits of checks from an innocent depositor, ignorant of its condition, and he can reclaim them or their proceeds;
and the pleadings in this case are so framed as to give the plaintiff in
error the benefit of this principle. St. Louis and San Francisco Railway
Co. v. Johnston, 133 U. S., 566.
Sureties on indebtedness of insolvent bank are not entitled to prove any
claim against it by reason of the enforcement of their liability as such.

without applying the money on the note or procuring its surrender, to
have the assets in the hands of its receiver applied in payment thereof.
Massey v. Fisher, 62 Fed. Rep., 958.
30. The fact that the money was not marked, and by a mingling with other
funds of the bank lost its identity, does not affect the right to recovery
in full, if it can be traced to the vaults of the bank, and it appears that a
sum equivalent to it remained continously therein until removed by the
receiver. Ib.
INTEREST : See Usury; Insolvent banks.
1. The provision in sec. 30 of the act of 1864 " t h a t where, by the law of any
State, a different rate is limited for banks of issue organized under State
laws, the rate so limited shall be allowed for associations organized in any
such State under the act," is enabling, and not restrictive; and, therefore, a national-banking association in any State may stipulate for as high
a rate of interest as by the laws of such State a natural person may,
although State banks of issue are restricted to a less rate. Tiffany v.
National Bank of the State of Missouri, 18 Wall., 409.
2. Bank may take the rate of interest allowed by the State to natural persons
generally, and a higher rate where State banks of issue can take it. Ib.
3. But it is not to be inferred from Tiffany v. National Bank of Missouri that
whatever by the laws of the State is lawful for natural persons in acquiring title to negotiable paper by discount is lawful for national banks.
National Bankv. Johnson, 104 U. S., 271.
4. May charge rate of interest allowed to natural persons in the State or Territory where bank is located, but can not take more, even on discount of
^ paper for third party, without it being usury. Ib.
5. The interest which a national-banking association may charge is limited to
the rate allowed to the banks of the State generally; and the fact that a
few of the State banks are specially authorized to take a higher rate is
not a warrant for a national-banking association to do so. Duncan v.
First National Bank of Mount Pleasant, 11 Bank Mag., 787; 1 N. B. C, 360;
Gruber v. First National Bank, 87 Fenn. St., 468.
6. Where the State law does not limit the rate of interest which may be charged
on loans to corporations, a national-banking association located in that
State can not charge more than 7 per cent interest on such loans. In re
Wild, 11 Blatch., 243.
7. Where by the statutes of the State parties are authorized to contract for any
rate of interest, national-banking associations in that State may likewise
contract for any rate, and are not limited to 7 per cent. Hinds v. Marmelejo, 60 Cal.f 229.
8. Under Rev. St., sec. 5197, authorizing national banks to charge any rate of
interest allowed by the law of the State wherein such bank is organized,
and the statute fixing a legal rate of interest, a national bank in 1Colorado
may charge interest at any agreed rate. Rockwell v. Farmers National
Bank, 36. P., 905.
9. As act 1873 (70 Ohio Laws, 178) repeals the statute fixing the rate of interest
for banks of issue, a national bank may charge interest at 8 per cent under
Rev. St., sec. 3181. La Dow v. First National Bank, 37 N. E., 11.
10. The decisions of the United States Supreme Court teach that the statute
referred to is to be liberally construed in favor of national banks, and even
when the language of the statute would restrict them to a less rate of
interest than is allowed to individuals, the intendment of the law must be
presumed to have been otherwise. Tiffany v. National Bank of Missouri
held that the intent of the law was to put national banks on an equal footing with State banks; to allow the State banks to charge any amount of
interest and national banks only 8 per cent would violate that intention;
to say that national banks could charge only 7 per cent would be to say
that the State had prescribed no rate of interest. National Bank of Jefferson v. Bruhn <f- Williams, 64 Tex., 571.
11. Where drafts are from time to time deposited in a bank, some of them being
payable on demand and some on time, an agreement between the bank and
the depositor that credit shall be given for such drafts on the day after
their deposit, the depositor being charged the fall legal rate for any overdraft, does not constitute usury when such agreement is made in good faith
in order to save involved calculations. Timberlake et al. v. First National
Bank, 43 Fed. Rep., 231.

12. Charging a depositor, by agreement, at the end of each month, with interest
at the full legal rate on his overdraft, and adding such charge to the overdraft, does not constitute usury. Ib.
13. Under Code Miss., 1880, which only allows interest on the amount of money
actually lent, a national bank in that State can not deduct interest in
advance. Ib.
14. Under the national banking act, any national bank in Pennsylvania can
charge and take the same rate of interest as any State bank of issue is
authorized to charge. First National Bank of Mount Pleasant v. Tinstman,
36 Legal Intelligencer, 228; 2 N. B. C, 182.
15. Interest on dividends should not be allowed in favor of one who voluntarily
delayed presenting his claim until long after the dividends were declared,
although the delay was due to a mistaken belief that he had aright to pay
his claim in full from collaterals in his hands. Chemical Nat'I Bank v.
Armstrong, 59 Fed. Rep., 372.
16. The refusal of a creditor to accept the receiver's offer to allow part of a claim
without prejudice to a suit for allowance of the remainder, or to the
receiver's right to still further reduce the claim if the court should hold
such reduction proper, bars the creditor's right to interest on subsequent
dividends on the part offered to be allowed, although it is subsequently
adjudged that the whole of his claim should have been allowed; but he is
entitled to interest on the dividends on the part rejected. Ib.
17. In case of book accounts in favor of depositors, interest begins to run against
an association in liquidation from the date of the suspension of business.
Richmond v. Irons, 121 U. S., 27.
18. There is an established rate of interest in Washington (10 per cent), and the
fact that by special contracts different rates may be collected does not
affect the question, and therefore a national bank may charge that rate.
Yakima National Bank v. Knipe, 33 P., 834; 6 Wash., 348.
19. The fact that there are several entries in the books of a bank and in the
pass book of a depositor of allowance of interest on his account is not
; ufficient to prove a contract by the bank to pay interest while the deposit
should remain, where it is proven that after the entries were made the
officers of the bank, on several occasions, told the depositor that it was
against their rules to pay interest, and that they would not pay it, and
that he apparently acquiesced. McLoghlin v. National Mohawk Valley
Bank, 139 N. Y. St., 514; 34 N. E., 1095.

Rep., 69.
12. Under the provisions of the act of August 13, 1888, national banks are deemed
to be, for jurisdictional purposes, citizens of the State wherein they are

on a promissory note or other chose in action by an assignee thereof, unless
the action might have been maintained in such courts if no assignment or
transfer had been made (act August 13, 1888), does not apply to the

merely that he might as agent of the maker raise money for it by negotiating them with third persons. Wachusett National Bank v. Sioux City Stove
Works, 56 Fed. Rep., 321.
15. A suit on the official bond of the cashier of a national
bank, conditioned for
a faithful performance of the duties thereof, ll according to law and the
by-laws" of the bank, involves a Federal question and is maintainable in
a Federal court irrespective of the citizenship of the parties. Walker et al.
v. Windsor National Bank, 56 Fed. Rep., 76.
16. In a suit which is properly brought in a Federal court, because it involves
a Federal question, the court has full jurisdiction of the defendant, who,
though a resident of another district, waives his personal privilege of being
sued in his district by voluntarily appearing. Ib.
17. A citizen of New York brought suit in the circuit court of North Carolina
against a citizen of North Carolina on promissory note to cashier of national
bank, which was also located there. Note had been indorsed to plaintiif.
After indorsement a receiver had been appointed for the bank: Held,
That the receiver would have been an assignee of the note although the
assignment was brought about by operation of law, and that as bank
could not have sued in circuit court neither could the receiver nor the
plaintiff, as the court had no jurisdiction. Ib.
18. Under the above statute assignee can not maintain a suit on a promissory
note unless the oi iginal payee could have prosecuted it. Ib.
19. The exemption of national banks from suits in State courts in other than

against the national bank upon such outstanding circulation, the defense
of the State statute of limitations having been set up, a Federal question
arises which may give this court jurisdiction in error. Metropolitan

B. Insolvent banks—
25. The tenth subdivision of sec. 629, Rev. St., which confers upon the circuit
court of the United States jurisdiction of all suits by or against any national
banking association established in the district for which the court is held,
has been repealed by the proviso to sec. 4 of the act of July 12, 1882.
National Bank of Jefferson v. Fare et ah, 25 Fed. Hep., 200.
26. The object of this proviso was to deprive the United States courts of jurisdiction of suits by or against national banking associations in all cases
where banks organized under State laws could not likewise sue or be sued
in such courts. Ib.
27. But the proviso does not affect the right of the receiver of an insolvent
association to sue in a Federal court. Sendee v. Connecticut and F. B. It.
Co., 26 Fed. liej)., 677.
28. Nor would the act of July 12,1882, take from the circuit court jurisdiction
of a suit brought agaiust a director for negligent performance of his duties;
for, as such suits rest upon the requirements of the United States laws and
by-laws made pursuant thereto, it is a case arising under the laws of the
United States. Witters v. Foster, 28 Fed. Rep., 737.
29. An action between a receiver of an insolvent national bank and a depositor
does not present a Federal question under Rev. St., sec. 5242, avoiding preferences to creditors of such an insolvent bank. Tehan v. First National
Bank et al, 39 Fed. Hep., 577.
30. A receiver of an insolvent national bank is an officer of the United States
within the meaning of sec. 563, Rev. St., which gives the district courts

National Bank of Hot Springs, 61 Fed. Bep., 417.
LEASE :
Where a national bank takes a lease for a long term, its insolvency and dissolution soon afterwards, and the appointment of a receiver, who refuses to
take possession of the leased premises, do not entitle the lessor to damages
out of the assets, the rent having been paid for the time during which the
bank was in possession. Fidelity Safe Deposit and Trust Co. v. Armstrong,
35 Fed. Bep., 567.
LIABILITY OF BANK :
1. Where a national-banking association has taken collaterals to secure a loan,

laterals occasioned "by its lack of ordinary care and diligence, though at
the time the bailor was not indebted to it. Third National Bank of Baltimore v. Boyd, 44 Md., 47.
A bank receiving a certificate of deposit for collection, and mailing it to the
drawer with a request for a remittance, is guilty of negligence. First
National Bank of Evansville v. Fourth National Bank of Louisville, 56 Fed.
Rep., 967.
A bank is charged with notice of letters duly mailed to it and received by
the general bookkeeper, whose duty it is to open and distribute mail matter, although he conceals such letters to hide certain irregularities in his
office, and thereby prevents their coming into the hands of the other bank
officers. Ib.
The E. bank, on May 8,1888, mailed to the L. bank for collection a certificate
of deposit issued by P. & Co., which, the next day, negligently mailed it
to P. & Co. with request to remit. On June 1 theL. bank credited the E.
bank with the item in account current for May, and wrote that nothing
had been heard from P. & Co. On June 22 the L. bank wrote that repeated
letters about the item had remained unanswered. The L. bank now charged
the E. bank with the item. No further correspondence ensued. P. & Co.
continued in good credit until after January 1, 1889, when they failed:
Held, That the L. bank was not responsible for more than nominal damages. Ib.
Where bank acquires title to real estate by conveyance from its president
who held same under deed reciting full payment of purchase money, and
bank has no actual knowledge that purchase money was not in fact paid,
it is an innocent purchaser without notice, and is not chargeable with constructive notice because of the knowledge of its president. First National
Bank of Sheffield et al. v. Tompkins, 57 led. liep., 20.
If a cashier, without authority to buy coin in behalf of his bank, does
so
buy it, and it goes into the funds of the bank, it is liable. Merchants7 Bank
v. State Bank, 10 Wall, 604.
Where a bank issues a certificate of deposit, payable on its return properly
indorsed, it is liable thereon to a bona fide holder to whom it was transferred seven years after its issue, notwithstanding a payment thereof to
the original holder. Such certificate is not dishonored until presented.
National Bank of Fort Edward v. The Washington County National Bqnk, 5
Hun., 605.
Where a cashier, in payment of his individual indebtedness, gives his creditor a cashier's draft drawn by himself on his bank's correspondent, and
the same is received in good faith by the creditor, with no knowledge or
notice that the draft is drawn fraudulently, and the same is paid by the
correspondent to the creditor, the bank can not recover from the creditor
the money so paid. Goshen National Bank v. State, 36 N. E., 316.
A bank is bound by the act of its cashier in drawing checks in its name,
though with the'intent of embezzling the proceeds, and payment of the
checks by the drawee is binding on the bank. Phillips v. Mercantile
National Bank of the City of New York, 35 N. E., 982.
Checks drawn by the cashier of a bank, payable to fictitious persons, whose
names he indorses thereon, are in effect payable to bearer, and the payment of such checks by the drawee is binding on the bank, as, in transmitting them made and indorsed, the bank is so far concluded by his acts
as to be estopped from denying their validity. Ib.
The fact that the payees in the checks, whose names were indorsed thereon
by the cashier, were customers of the bank, does not vary the rule applicable to fictitious payees, where the cashier did not intend to deliver the
paper to the customers, as the fictitiousness of the maker's direction to pay
does not depend upon the identification of tho name of the payee with
some existing person, but upon the intention underlying the act of the
maker in inserting the name. Ib.
A settlement of a claim against a bank made by a director who had been
specially delegated by the bank to take charge of the matter, and who
acted under the direct advice of the president of the bank, is binding on
the bank. Waxahachie National Bank v. Vickeryp26S. W., 876.
Where one pays a debt due by him to a bank upon the demand of an officer
thereof, whom he finds employed in its business, to said officer, over its
counter, without knowledge that the officer's authority is so limited that
he is not authorized to receive the money, it is a payment to the bank, and
the latter is bound thereby. The East Itiver National Bank, v. Gove, 57

grace, presented it for payment, and had it protested, etc., on the day of
its maturity, without days of grace, by means of which the indorser was
discharged, and it was in evidence that the bank was notified by the
indorser at the time that he claimed the paper to have days grace: Held,
That the bank was liable to the person who deposited the paper for collection for damages for its negligence in not presenting the check, as required
by law, and causing notice of its nonpayment to be given to the indorser.
The Georgia National Bank v. Henderson, 46 Ga., 487.
15. A national bank, by its cashier, issued its certificate of deposit for money to
be paid on a note of the depositor or lent for his use: Held, That the
bank was liable thereon, although the cashier embezzled much more of
the bank's funds. First National Bank of Monmouth v. Brooks, 22 III. App.,
238; 3 N B. C., 3S7.
16. Upon the deposit in a city bank of funds for transmission to the credit of a
country bank, for the use of the depositor, the city bank becomes a trustee
of tiie depositor; and, where the country bank, by reason of its failure
before the deposit was made, becomes unable to receive the deposit,
the city bank is liable to the depositor, in an action for money had and
received, for the amount of the deposit. Union Stock Yards National Bank
v. Dvmond, 87 N. F., 803 ; Lfumond v. Merchants' National Bank, Id., 864.
17. The fact that the city bank deposited the money with another city bank,
which was the correspondent of the country bank, does not exempt the
former bank from such liability, where the depositor was unacquainted
with the custom of the banks in making such deposits, and did not consent thereto. 11).
18. Nor will the city bank in which the money was finally deposited be liable
therefor, at the suit of the depositor, where the money was left with it
with instructions to credit it to the country bank generally, without any
intimation that it was to be credited to that bank as the money of the
depositor. Ib.
19. The First National Bank of Decatur having advanced a sum of money to the
owner of a lot of whisky, the latter employed the bank to ship the
whisky for him to New York to be sold, and out of the proceeds the bank
was to retain the money advanced and a reasonable commission for shipping and selling. The whisky was shipped and sold accordingly, and the
proceeds received by the hank: Held, That the bank was liable to the
owner of the whisky for the money so received, and this independently of
the question whether national banks are, by their charters, authorized to
sell produce on commission. First National Bank of Decatur v. Priest, 50
III., 321.

aid in its struggle for existence held liable for funds abstracted from the
trust company and used for the bank, on the ground that the organization
and use made of the former was a fraud on the public. Fisher v. Adams,

u
i s prosperous," " well organized," " doing1 a large business/' and are
"valued customers of ours;" that an investigation of its business and
responsibility had been made by the vice-president and cashier of the
bank, coupled with the transmission of an-annual statement, which (as
alleged) is known to be false—are representations of fact, and not of
opinion, and are actionable if fraudulently made. Ib.
23. Fraudulent representations as to the financial responsibility of another for
the purpose of procuring him credit are actionable, though containing no
statement as to the amount of credit it is safe to extend. Ib.
24. False representations concerning the financial responsibility of another,
made, for the purpose of procuring him credit, negligently and carelessly,
without investigation, when investigation would disclose their falsity,
imply a fraudulent intent and are actionable. Ib.
25. The signature of a bank cashier, with his official title appended, to a letter
bearing the bank's name at the head, is the signature of the bank, within
the meaning of a statute providing against liability for representations as
to the credit, skill, or character of another, unless there is a memorandum
thereof in writing, signed by the u party to be charged." Ib.

collection, and on presentation to defendant was accepted by its treasure
and redelivered to the bank. On the same day defendant's treasure
learned that the drawer of the bill had failed two days before. On the
next day defendant's treasurer applied to the bank's cashier for leave to
revoke the acceptance and erase the indorsement, which the cashier
declined to do, and notice was thereupon given the bank to refuse payment of the bill. At the time of the acceptance the drawer had no funds
in defendant's hands, but was indebted to it. No fraud was shown on
plaintiff's part: Held, That the .defendant was bound by its acceptance.
Trent Title Company v. Fort Dearborn National Bank of Chicago.
27. The general rule is that where a bank delivers a note or bill to a notary
public for demand, protest, and notice, it will not be liable for the default
of the latter. Wood Biver Bank v. First National Bank of Omaha, 55 N. W.,
239; 86 Neb., 744.
28. But where such bill remains in the bank to be protested for nonpayment by the
president and manager thereof, a notary public, and who, although aware
of the instructions to the contrary, delays noting for protest or giving
notice, in consequence of which the indorsers are discharged, such notary
will be held to be the agent of the bank and the latter will be liable for
his negligence. Ib.

1. An association has equitable lien upon dividends declared for any just debt
due to it from the shareholders. Hager v. Union National Bank, 6J Me., 509.

by-laws are framed with tnat intention. Ballard v. Bank, 18 Wall., 589.
3. Loans by bank to stockholder do not give lien to bank on his stock. Ib.;
BankY. Lamer, 11 Wall., 369.
4. A national bank organized under the law of 1864, can not, even by specific
provisions for the purpose in its articles of association and in its by-laws,
acquire a lien on its own stock held by its debtor. Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Railroad Company v. Oxford Iron Company, 38 N. J. Fq., 340;
3 N. B. C, 582.
5. When by general law a lien is given to a corporation upon the stock of a
stockholder in the corporation for any indebtedness owing by him to it,
that lien is valid and enforceable against all the world; and a sale of the
stockholder's stock to a person ignorant of the lien will not discharge it
and thus authorize the purchaser to demand and receive a transfer of it so
discharged. Hammond v. Hastings, 134 U. 8., 401.
6. A banker's lien for the amount of the balance of its general account does not
exist when the securities have been deposited Avith the bank for a special
purpose, or for the payment of a particular loan. Armstrong v. Chemical
National Bank, 41 Fed. Eep., 234.
7. Rev. St., sec. 5242, which invalidates all transfers of the notes, bonds, or bills
of exchange of a, national bank after the commission of an act of insolvency with a view to the preference of one creditor over another, does
not prohibit a bank which has in good faith accepted the draft of a
national bank the day before the latter's insolvency, and afterward paid
the same, from applying the proceeds of collections made by it on paper
in its hands belonging to the insolvent bank, to the payment of the draft,
since its lien on such collections runs from the date of the acceptance. In
re Armstrong, 41 Fed. Hep., 881.
LIQUIDATION :

exist as a body corporate for the purpose of suing and being sued until its
affairs are completely settled. National Bank v. Insurance Company, 104

4. Where a bank has gone into voluntary liquidation and the Comptroller has
no power to appoint a receiver, a proper court, in a case where such action
is necessary to protect the interests of a creditor, will appoint a receiver
for it. Irons v. Manufacturers7 National Bank, 6 Biss., 301.
5. The Comptroller may appoint a receiver for a bank that has voted to go into
voluntary liquidation. Washington National Bank of Tacoma v. Eckels, 57
Fed. Hep., 870.
6. Where a national bank is insolvent and in process of voluntary liquidation,
and its affairs are being greatly mismanaged by its managing agents, to
the injury of its creditors and stockholders, and some of the creditors and
stockholders are being favored to the jnjury of others, a receiver may be
appointed in such a case, even where the bank only has been made a
defendant. Elwood v. First National Bank, 21 Kans., 673.
7. Without express authority from the shareholders in a national bank its officers,
after the bank goes into liquidation, can only bind them by acts implied
by the duty of liquidation. II).
8. Creditors of a national bank who, after it suspends payment and goes into
voluntary liquidation, receive in settlement of their claims bills receivable,
indorsed or guaranteed in the name of the bank by its president, can not
claim as creditors against the shareholders, as the original debt is paid. Ib.

one united in organizing a new national bank under a different name. He
knew that the greater part of the assets were sold to the new bank, and he
accepted dividends from nearly all such assets: Reid (1) That he had no
right to share in the earnings of the new bank; (2) the old bank had no

bank to any person, company, corporation, or firm for money borrowed,
including in them "the liabilities of the several members thereof shall at
no time exceed one-tenth part" of the capital stock actually paid in, does
not prevent a bank from recovering of a person to whom it has lent a sum
greater than 10 per cent of its capital stock, the excess of the loan over
such limit. Corcoran v. Batchelder 147^ Mass., 541; 3 N. B. C, 491.
3. A note is not illegal because at the time it was discounted by the association
the maker was indebted to the association in a sum equal to more than onetenth part of its capital. O'Hare v. Second National Bank of Titusville,
77 Penn. St., 96.
4. And a court of equity will not enjoin an association, at the instance of the
borrower, from transferring to innocent third persons notes and securities,
on the ground that the notes represent part of a loan made in excess of 10
per cent of the capital of the association. Elder v. First National Bank of
Ottawa, 12 Kans., 238.
5. Where a State bank makes a loan to one person of an amount in excess of onetenth part of its capital, and is afterward converted into a national bank,
it may, after conversion, extend the time for payment of such loan without
violating sec. 5200, Rev. St. Allen v. The First National Bank of Xenia, 23

the statute as a defense to his liability on the note. If a penalty is to be
enforced against the bank, it can be done only at the instance of the
Government. A contract entered into by the bank in violation of this
section is not void. Wyman v. Citizens' Nat. Bank of Faribault, 29 Fed.
Hep., 734.
9. Rev. St., sec. 5202, providing that national banks shall not contract liabilities in excess of their paid-up capital stock, except upon notes of circulation, accounts for deposits, etc., does not intend that such items of liability
shall be excluded in determining whether the indebtedness of a bank
exceeds its paid-up capital stock at the time it incurs a liability as guarantor. Weber et al. v. Spokane Nat. Bank, 50 Fed. liep., 735.
10. In an action against a national bank and its receiver on a promissory note,
defendants may avail themselves of the defense that the note was executed
i^ violation of Rev. St., sec. 5202, providing that national banks shall not
contract liabilities in excess of their raaid-up capital stock. The note
being void as to the bank, it is not estopped to set up the defense in question. Ib.
11. A business man accepting the note of a national bank is presumed to know
the financial condition of the bank, and that at the time of the execution
of the note it had already incurred indebtedness in excess of the limit
prescribed by law. Ib.
12. Loans by a national bank to an individual or company in excess of one-tenth
of its paid-up capital are not void. The loan may be collected, though the
bank is exposed to forfeiture of its franchise and the officers participating
are declared personally liable. Stewart v. The National Union Bank of Maryland, 2 Abb. U S., 424; 1 N. B. C, 175.
MANDAMUS:
1. Mandamus is the proper remedy when a mandate of the U. S. Supreme
Court has been disregarded. In re City National Bank of Fort Worth, 153
U. S., 246.
2. Mandamus does not lie to compel the officers of a private corporation to
issue stock to a person entitled thereto. State v. Carpenter, 37 N. E.} 261.
3. When the officers of a corporation refuse, on demand, to issue a certificate
of stock to a person entitled thereto, the remedy is by action for damages,
or to enforce the issue and delivery of such certificate in equity, rather
than by mandamus. Ib.
MARRIED WOMEN:
1. A national banking association may take as security for a loan the indorsement of a married woman, charging her separate estate. Such security is
to be treated as personal .security, within the meaning of the banking
law, and not as a mortgage. Third National Bank v. Blake, 73 N. Y., 260.
2. A married woman in the District of Columbia may become a holder of stock
in a national banking association and assume all the liabilities of such a
shareholder, although the consideration may have proceeded wholly from
the husband. Eeyserv. Hitz, 133 U. S., 138.
3. In Vermont a married woman is competent to become a stockholder in a
corporation and to contract to charge her separate property with the
payment of any liability which is implied from entering into that
relation. Witters v. Sowles, 38 Fed. Rep., 700.
MORTGAGE : See Real estate.

NOTARY PUBLIC:
Before the passage of the act of February 26,1881, notaries public in the several
States had no authority to administer to officers of national banking
associations the oath required by sec. 5211, Rev. St., and an indictment
against an officer of a national bank under sec. 5292 for a willfully
false declaration or statement in a report made under sec. 5211, so verified,
would not lie.. United States v. Curtis, 107 U. S., 671; 3 N. B. C, 91.

2. In an action on a check there was evidence that defendant gave the check,
postdated, to one G. for the price of stock of a corporation, under an
agreement that G. should not use the check until defendant had further
considered the purchase of the stock; that defendant was induced to give
the check by representations of G. as to the prosperity of the company,
which was in fact insolvent; that the cashier of plaintiff bank knew of the
negotiations between defendant and G.; that G. immediately procured the
check to be discounted by plaintiff and placed the proceeds to the credit
of the company, which was largely indebted to plaintiff: Held, That a
finding that plaintiff was not a bona fide holder for value was sustained
by the evidence, though plaintiff's cashier denied that he knew of the
negotiations between defendant and G. Ib.
3. A bank discounting a note before its maturity is not chargeable with the
knowledge of illegality or want of consideration acquired by one of its
directors in other than his official capacity, such director not having
acted with the board in making the discount. First National Bank of
Hightstownv. Christopher, 40 N. J. Lair, 435.
4. A director offering a note, of which he is the owner, to the bank of which he
is a director for discount, is regarded in the transaction as a stranger, and
the bank is not chargeable with the knowledge of such director of an
infirmity or defect in the consideration of the note. Ib.
5. P. was a member of the firm of M. & J. S. P., and also a director of the bank
of H. He obtained at the bank the discount of a note belonging to the
firm, which had been got of the maker by fraud. He had notice, as a
member of the firm, of the fraud before the note was offered for discount,
but did not communicate his knowledge to any of the officers of the bank :
Held, That the knowledge of P. was not, constructively, notice to the
bank. Ib.
6. The cashier of a bank was also the secretary of another corporation, and,
while working in the interest of the latter, sold stock therein, taking the
purchaser's note therefor, which note was afterward discounted by the
bank: Held, That the bank was not affected with its cashiers knowledge
as to the value of the stock sold, obtained through his connection with
the other corporation. Bent on v. German- American National Bank, 26 S. W.,
975.
7. A certificate of deposit with provision that, "This deposit not subject to
check; with interest at six per cent if left six months; no interest after
six months" is overdue, so as to charge purchaser with notice of equities
after six months. Kirkuood v. First National Bayik, 58 N. TV., 1016; Same
v. Exchange National Bank, Ib., 1135.
8. The form of the drait in such case does not convey notice to the creditor that
the funds of the bank are being used to pay the private debt of the
cashier. Goshen National Bank\. Stale, 86 N. E., 316.
9. Where grantor states to director of bank that he is willing to convey a half
interest in certain land to the bank's president, with the understanding
that such president was to deed the whole interest to the bank, and the
president of the bank was to pay him by giving him credit upon notes
then running against him in the bank : Held, Not to amount to notice to
the director that the grantor intends to retain a vendor's lien, but rather
imports a notice that no such lien is to be retained. First Nat. Bank of
Sheffield etal. v. Tompkins, 57 Fed. Bcp., 20.

A. B.," is notice to all purchasers that the indorser is entitled to the proceeds. Bank of the Metropolis v. First Nat. Bank of Jersey City, 19 Fed.
Hep., 301.
11. A bank is charged with notice of letters duly mailed to it and received by
the general bookkeeper, whose duty it is to open and distribute mail matter, although he conceals such letters to hide certain irregularities in his
office, and thereby prevents their coming into the hands of the other bank
officers. First Nai'l Bank of Evansville v. Fourth Nat'l Bank of Louisville,
56 Ftd. fiep., 966.
12. Where a bank, in the absence of a director by whom a note has been offered
for discount, accepts it? and accepts a note payable to him and indorsed
to it as collateral, its rights are not affected by buch director's knowledge of illegality in the inception of the note accepted as security. Third

14. An agent cannot lawfully act for his principal and for himself in matters
in which they have adverse interests, and every person dealing with an
agent who is acting for himself as well as for his principal, in such matters,
is put upon
inquiry as to authority and good faith of the agent. Moores
v. Citizens7 National Bank of Piqua, Ohio, 15 Fed Rep., 141.
15. The plaintiff contracted to loan money to M, cashier of the defendant bank,
for his individual uses, on his representations that he held a number of
shares of stock of said bank, and his agreement to transfer a certain number thereof to the plaintiff as security for the loan. In pursuance of said
agreement, M afterward produced a certificate of stock bearing the genuine signatures of the president and of himself as cashier, on the faith of
which plaintiff loaned him the money. In fact, M had previously
hypothecated and transferred to others all the stock of said bank which
he had held, and the certificate was fraudulently issued, without any
transfer of stock, and without any knowledge of any of the officers of the
bank except himself, he having used for that purpose a certificate left
with him for use, as occasion might require, signed by the president in
blank. The plaintiff had no knowledge of tho fraud, and believed that
the certificate had been issued in good faith and by competent authority,
but knew that the transaction was for the benefit of M: Held, That the
knowledge that M was acting for himself as well as for the bank in issuing the certificate put the plaintiff upon inquiry as to the authority and
good faith of M, and having failed to make it, the bank is not liable on
the certificate. II).
16. Where an officer of a bank is dealing with it in his individual interest, the
bank is not chargeable with his uncommunicated knowledge of facts derogatory to
his title to the paper which is the subject of the transaction. Merchants7 National Bank of Kansas City v. Lovitl, Mo.
17. Where the president acts for the bank in accepting for discount paper offered
by another officer, the bank is. not affected by any knowledge of the latter
regarding such paper, since he is acting in the transaction in his own
behalf. Ib.
18. The fact that the discount was calculated by the officer offering the paper
would not be material*in such case. Ib.
19. The president of plaintiff bank, without consideration, obtained defendant's
note as a personal loan, and without disclosing the want of consideration
procured its discount by plaintiff's cashier: Held, That, though the cashier
was without authority to discount paper, his agency in discounting the
note, not having been disavowed by plaintiff, it could recover on the note,
as the president's knowledge of its infirmity could not be imputed to it.

OATH OF DIRECTOR:
1. By the provisions of sec. 44 of the national-banking act, upon conversion
of a.State to a national bank, all the directors of the former become those
of the latter until an election or an appointment by the national bank.
Semble, that no oath is required from these ad interim directors, the oath
prescribed by sec. 9 of the aforesaid act being designated for those regularly elected by the national bank, but assuming its necessity, a majority
of those who were the directors of the State bank before its conversion is
necessary to make a quorum of the board of the national bank. Lockivoodv. The American National Bank, 911. I., 308; IN. B. C, 895.
2. In all cases where an act is to be done by a corporate body or a part of a corporate body, and the number is definite, a majority of the whole number is
necessary to constitute a legal meeting, although at a legal meeting where
a quorum is present a majority of those present may act. Ib.
3. Hence, a by-law adopted at a meeting of six ad interim directors of a national
bank, which had twelve directors before its conversion, is invalid, because
not adopted by a majority or quorum of the board. Ib.
4. Prior to the act of February 26,1881, a notary public holding his commission
under a State had no authority to administer the oath required by sec.
5211, Rev- St.; and therefore a cashier who made oath before such notary
to a false statement of the condition of his association was not guilty of
perjury. United States v. Curtis, 107 U. S., 671.

provide. The power exists, though the association has adopted no by-laws.
Taylor v. Button, 43 Barb., 195.
2. The officers of a national-hanking association can hold their positions only
by the tenure specified in sec. 5136, Rev. St., viz, the pleasure of the
board of directors. Harrington v. First National Bank of Chittenango,
1 N. B. C.,.760; 1 Thomp. $ Cook, 361; Taylor v. Button, supra.
3. An officer may, in the ordinary course of business, borrow money of the association. Blaifv. JHrst National Bank of Mansfield, 10 Chicago Legal News.

4. The law providing no particular mode by which a director is to resign from
the board, an oral resignation would be as good as any. Movius v. Lee, 30
Fed. Rep., 298.
5. The president being the head of the board, a resignation to him is a resignation to the board. Ib.
6. A director is not prohibited from resigning during the year. The apparent
purpose of the provision in regard to the term of office is to make it conform to the time of the new election, and not to absolutely require every
director to serve the full term. 1b.
7. The borrowing of money by a bank, though not illegal, is so much out of
the course of ordinary and legitimate banking business as to require those
making the loan to see to it that the officer or agent acting for the bank
had special authority to borrow money. Western National Bank v. Armstrong, 152 U. S., 346.
8. A national bank can not hire one of its officers for a specified time. Harrington v. First National Bank of Chittenango, supra.
9. Knowledge, without objection, by the directors of a bank that one is acting
in its employ does not ratify the details of a contract for his employment
by the president unless they know of such details. Ib.
10. Creditor of insolvent national bank can not sue to enforce personal liability
of officers and directors for violation of national-bank laws. The receiver
alone can maintain the action. Bailey v. Mosher, 63 Fed. Rep., 488.
11. Directors of a national bank are " officers," within the meaning of Rev. St.,
sec. 5209, which makes it a misdemeanor for bank officers to make false
entries in any book, report, or statement of the bank, with intent to
deceive any of its officers. United States v. Means et al., 42 Fed. Hep., 599.
12. The rule that where a bank officer is dealing with the bank on his own
account his knowledge will not be imputed to the bank, does not apply
where such officer is the sole representative of the bank in the transaction.
First National Bank of Elaine v. Blake, 60 Fed. Rep., 78.
B. Cashier—
13. It is within scope of general authority of cashier to receive offers for purchase of securities held by the bank, and to state whether or not bank
owns securities in its possession. Xenia Bank v. Stewart etal., 114 U. S., 221.
14. If a cashier, without authority from the directors so to do, makes a loan in
excess of one-tenth of the capital of the association, he will be liable, in
case of loss, for the amount of the excess. Second National Bank of
Oswego v. Burt, 93 N. Y., 233.
15. Under sec. 5136 of the national-bank act, the cashier of a national bank
has no power to bind it to pay the draft of a third person on one of its
customers to be drawn at a future day, when it expects to have a deposit
from him sufficient to cover it, and no action lies against the bank for its
refusal to pay such a draft. FJannagan et al. v. California National Bank
etal., 56 Fed. Rep., 959.
16. Ordinarily the cashier of a bank has no authority to discharge its debtors
without payment, or to bind the bank by an agreement that a surety
should not be called upon to pay a note he had signed, or that he would
have no further trouble from it. Cochecho National Bank v. Baskell et al.,
51 N. B., 116.
17. It is within the general authority of the cashier of a bank to sign, in its behalf,
a blank transfer upon a certificate of stock in the name of the bank, held
by it as collateral security for a loan, and deliver the certificate to the
pledgor on payment of the loan. Matthews v. The Massachusetts National
Bank, 1 Holmes, 396.
18. The cashier of an incorporated bank is the general executive officer to
manage its concerns in all things not peculiarly committed to the directors; he is agent of the corporation, not of the directors. Bissell v. The
First National Bank of Franklin, 69 Fa. St., 415.

19. The cashier or other executive officer of a national bank has not, in the absence
of special authority from the directors, or of a usage or practice so to do,
power to receive, on behalf of the bank, property for safe-keeping. First
National Bank of Lyons v, Ocean National Bank, appellant, 60 N. T., 278; 1
N. B. C., 728.
20. The cashier of a bank, as one of its financial officers, in its daily and ordinary
business transactions, has authority to certify checks drawn on the bank
by its customers in all cases where any officer could do the same and bind
the bank. The Clarke National Bank v. The Bank of Albion, impleaded, etc.f
52 Barb., 592.
21. This authority is regarded as general, growing out of a cashier's position in
the bank; and persons dealing with the bank are not, in any way, affected
or bound by the special restrictions and limitations imposed upon him by
the corporation, whose agent he is. 1b.
22. A cashier has no power, however, to make the certification unless he has the
funds of the drawer in hand to meet the check. This limitation on his
general authority is, in the law, presumed to bo known by all the bank's
customers and others who act upon the statements and representations of
its agent. 1b.
23. Neither has a cashier power, as the agent of the bank, to certify a check
until on or after the day the same is made payable. Ib.
24. A bank may sue a payee on a note payable to its cashier, alleging either that
the promise was made to the cashier for it, or that the cashier's name was
used by adoption for that of the bank. Darby v. Berney National Bank, 11
So., 881; 97 Ala., 643.
25. The cashier of a bank kept an account with the defendants, who were
brokers, and bought and sold stocks for him, and from time to time the
defendants received checks of his bank upon another bank, its correspondent, drawn by him in his official capacity, and collected them from
the bank upon which they were drawn, and applied the avails to the
cashier's individual account. In an action brought by a receiver of the
bank of the cashier to recover of defendants the amount of the checks
received by them: Held, The checks being made payable to the order of
the defendants, for the cashier's individual use, the defendants took them
under an obligation to ascertain at their peril that the cashier had
authority outside of his ordinary official authority to make the checks,
and could not assume that he was acting within the scope of his official
duties. A purchaser of commercial paper made by an agent can not
acquire any title to it as against the principal, unless he can show that it
was made by the agent upon due authorization; and when he knows that
the agent has made it in the naine of the principal for his own use he
must be prepared to show that special authority in that behalf was delegated by the principal, and can not rely upon the implied or ostensible
authority of the agent to make such paper in the ordinary business of the
principal. Anderson v. Kissam et al.} 35 Fed. Rep., 699.
26. It having been shown that the cashier had no authority to make the checks,
and that the checks were paid by the bank upon which they were drawn,
the defendants were prima facie liable in action of trover for the face
amount of the checks. Ib.
27. The circumstance that the cashier clandestinely deposited funds with the
bank upon which the checks were drawn to the credit of his own bank,
which deposits were credited to his own bank, is not competent in mitigation of damages. When credited to the cashier's bank the deposits
became the property of that bank as .against the cashier and the defendants. The case for the plaintiff was complete when it appeared that the
checks had been paid by the bank upon which they were drawn out of
funds standing to the credit of the cashier's bank; the plaintiff was then
entitled to recover the full amount, and it was then incumbent upon the
defendants, if they sought to reduce the damages, to show that, notwithstanding the wrongful conversion of the paper, the cashier's bank did not
suffer loss. Ib.
28. The fact that some of the moneys thus clandestinely deposited by the cashier
were paid in by the defendants, at his request, does not affect the defendants' liability, or go in mitigation of damages. Ib.
29. Evidence of a usage that bankers and brokers regard payments made by
means of such checks as ordinary payments of cash made by individuals
for their own account is not admissible. Ib,

30. Where the cashier of a bank conceals the defalcation of another officer the
statute of limitations will not begin to run in favor of such cashier or his
estate until such defalcation is disclosed to the directors or stockholders.
Vance v. Mottley, 21 S. TV., 593; 92 Term., 810.
31. A cashier is bound to exercise reasonable skill, care, and diligence in the
discharge of his duties, and if he fails so to do, and the bank suffer damage
in consequence, hois liable therefor. Ib.
32. He is liable for loss on loans made by him through want of care, diligence,
and reasonable skill. Ib.
33. Though the act of the cashier which occasions the loss is a tort, the tort may
be waived and an action for value maintained against him or his estate. Ib.
C.—Directors.
34. The degree of care required of directors of corporations depends upon the
subject to which it is to be applied, and each case is to be determined in
view of all the circumstances. Briggs v. Spaulding, 141 U. S., 132.
35. Directors of a corporation are not insurers of the fidelity of the agents whom
they appoint, who become by such appointment agents of the corporation;
nor can they be held responsible for losses resulting from the wrongful
acts or omissions of other directors or agents, unless the loss is a consequence of their own neglect of duty. Ib.
36. A director of a national bank is not precluded from resignation within the
vcar by the provision in Rev. St., sec. 5145, that when elected he shall
hold office for one year, and until his successor is elected. Ib.
37. Persons who are elected into a board of directors of a national bank, about
which there is no reason to suppose anything wrong, but which becomes
bankrupt in ninety da^ s after their election, are not to be held personally
responsible to the bank because they did not compel an investigation or
personally conduct an examination.' Ib.
38. Directors of a national bank must exercise ordinary care and prudence in
the administration of the affairs of a bank, and this includes something
more than officiating as figureheads. They are entitled under the law to
commit the banking business, as defined, to their duly authorized officers;
but this docs not absolve them from the duty of reasonable supervision,
nor ought they to be permitted to be shielded from liability because of
want of knowledge of wrongdoing, if that ignorance is the result of gross
inattention. Ib.
39. If a director of a national bank is seriously ill it is within the power of
the other directors to give him leave of absence for a term of one year,
instead of requiring him to resign, and if frauds are committed during his
absence and without his knowledge, whereby the bank suffers loss, he is
not responsible for them. Ib.
40. A notary of the city of Alexandria is authorized to administer the oath
required by law to be taken by a director of the First National Bank of
that city as to bis ownership of the capital stock of such bank. United
Stales v. Neale, 14 Fed. h'rp., 767.
41. When the oath is taken and subscribed by the accused it is complete, so far
as the accused can make it, and if the notary, in certifying the fact of the
oath having been taken, erroneously used the term "county" instead of
''city/ 7 and used the seal of said bank instead of his own official seal,
such error did not affect th^ oath taken. Ib.
42. If accused took an oath in which he stated that he was the bona fide owner
in his own right of* the number of shares of stock then standing in his
name on the books of the bank, and that the said shares were not hypothecated or in any way pledged as security for any loan or debt; and if he took
it willfully, and not believing that he was stating the truth, it is perjury,
if in point of fact he was not the owner of said stock or had pledged the
same for a loan or debt. Ib.
43. An irrevocable power of attorney given by the accused, wherein he constituted and appointed a third party his attorney for the purposes therein
set forth, being a general power covering any indebtedness of accused to
said third party, is a pledge of the shares of stock owned by accused
mentioned therein as long as there was any debt due by the accused to
such third party. Ib.
44. Under the laws of Vermont an action against a director of a national bank
for negligent performance of duty in not requiring a bond fro n the
cashier, and otherwise mismanaging the affairs of the bank, abates by his
death, and can not be revived against his administrator. Witters, Receiver,

45. A bill brought to charge the directors .of an insolvent national bank with
the amount of losses caused by the bank's failure, alleged that one of the
defendants sold and transferred his stock on the day named, but the
evidence showed that defendant had not paid anything for the stock, but
delivered it to a messenger of another one of the defendant a, from whom
he had agreed to purchase it, and that such defendant then sold and
indorsed the stock to a third party, as it was agreed he might do if he so
desired. Plaintiff moved to amend the bill to conform to the proofs, and

resting upon the nonperformance or negligent performance of their duties
that the bank itself could have enforced. Ib.
47. A director of a national bank who, before the expiration of his term, sells his
stock, and orally resigns his office to the president, in his place of president at the bank, and afterwards receives the money for his stock, prior
to the sustaining of losses by the bank, ceases to be a director, and can
not be held liable for subsequent losses caused by the negligence of the
directors. Ib.
48. The president of a national bank, being in failing health, was anxious to
resign his position, but, at a suggestion of a majority of the directors,
consented to take a year's leave of absence, and during such absence, and
without any fault on his own part, losses were sustained by the bank, and
it became insolvent: Held, In a suit by the receiver to charge the directors
with such losses, that he was not liable. Ib.
49. The directors of a national bank which has become insolvent by reason of
losses caused by the discount, f. om time to time, of paper not properly
secured, indorsed by a director who is a man of wealth, and the largest
stockholder in the bank, and in whom the other directors have reason to
place f onhdence, can not be held liable for the mere failure to discover the
illegal transactions, and to prevent such director from continuing therein.
Ib.
50. The officers of an insolvent national bank can not be held personally responsible to creditors for losses on loans and discounts made by them in good
faith, and, as they thought at the time, for the best interests of the bank,
merely because such loans and discounts appear to have been unwise and
hazardous when looked back upon. Witters, Receiver, etc., v. Sowles et al.,
31 Fed. Rep., 1.
51. Under Rev. St., sec. 5200, directors of a national bank, who make or assent
to the making of a loan to any one person of a sum exceeding one-tenth of
the capital stock of the bank, become personally and individually liable
for all loss sustained thereby; but where the borrower, in such a case, is
also one of the directors, he is not so liable, but simply as a debtor to the
bank. Ib.
52. Bank directors can not be held personally liable for money paid out for dividends " to a greater amount than net profits after deducting losses and bad
debts" (Rev. St., sec. 5204), because there were debts bad in fact, but
supposed to be good, when the dividends were declared and paid. Bad
judgment on the part of the directors, as to the condition of the assets,
without bad faith, does not make them individually liable. Ib.
53. Directors of a national bank can not be held to the common-law liability for
inattention to duty as directors in not preventing a hazardous, imprudent,
and disastrous loan, if such loan was made by their associates, without
their knowledge, connivance, or participation. Ib.
54.' Directors or the managing committee of a national bank may, in the honest
exercise of official discretion, make loans or discounts for the actual or
supposed benefit of the association, and, although the transaction may be
injudicious aaid actually result in loss or damage to the bank, there is no
criminal liability, so long as their acts are not in bad faith, for the purpose of personal gain or private advantage of the officials. United States
v. Harper, 33 Fed. Rep., 471.
55. A national bank was organized with a capital of $60,000. The promoter of
the bank took 380 shares of stock in his own name and procured the
defendants to be directors as well as a person to be elected cashier by
them. The directors were not acquainted with the banking business.
The proposed cashier was known to the directors, at least by reputation,

and was supposed by them to be competent and trustworthy and of considerable experience in the business, and they had full confidence in his
iutegrity and ability to take charge of the bank. The cashier acted as
manager of the loan and discount business of the bank, and the directors
merely as advisers, when applied to. The promoter of the bank knew,
and the other stockholders were presumed to know, that the directors
were wholly unused to the banking business: Held, Thai the directors were
not liable for the acts of the cashier in violation of the banking law done
without their paiticipation or knowledge. Clews et al. v. Bardon et al., 36
Fed. Rrp., 617.
The cashier made loans, in excess of 10 per cent of the capital, to a manufacturing corporation supposed by him and by the public to be entirely
solvent. None of the directors knew of the loans when made, but after
a loan of $3, 000 in excess of the lawful limit had been made the cashier
informed one of them of such loan, and was by him advised to call it iu
when due; and thereafter such director's advice was asked as to a further
discount to the same corporation, and he disapproved of it, and it was
not made. Afterwards further loans or discounts were made to the same
corporation without the knowledge or consent of any of the directors.
About eight months after the bank commenced business, one or more of
the debtors of the bank failed, and the directors thereupon took the
active management into their own hands: Held, That none of the directors had knowingly violated, or knowingly permitted to be violated, any
of the provisions of the banking law, and were not liable for such violation by the cashier. Ib.
Under the banking law, the management of a national bank may be exercised either by the directors or by the cashier or other officers ; therefore
the directors are not liable for the illegal or negligent acts of the cashier
or other officers by whom the bank is managed, if they have no knowledge
of such acts, and do not connive at them, or willfully shut their eyes and
permit them. Ib.
It seems that the liability of directors of a national bank is substantially
the same under the banking law as at the common law. Ib.
The personal liability of directors of a national bank for violation of Rev. St.,
sec. 5204, by declaring dividends in excess of net profits, and of sec. 5200,
fo^ loaning to separate persons, firms, or corporations, amounts exceeding
one-tenth of the capital stock, can not be enforced in an action at law.
Welles v. Graves et al., 41 Fed. Rep., 459.
If the personal liability imposed by Rev. St., sec. 5239, upon directors for
violation of the provisions of the banking act, in favor of any one injured
thereby, can be enforced without reference to wrhether the charter has beeu
forfeited or not, it is not a penalty within the meaning of sec. 1047, limiting actions for penalties to five years. Ib.
Directors of a national bank are " officers " within the meaning of Rev. St.,
sec. 5209, which makes it a misdemeanor for bank officers to make false
entries in any book, report, or statement of the bank, with intent to deceive
auy of its officers. United States v. Means et al., 42 Fed. Rep., 599.
An act of Congress imposing a legal liability on the directors of a national
bank for certain things, which they may do which shall result in an injury
to the bank, its stockholders, or creditors, and making them liable for the
amount of the damage is a remedial and not a penal statute, and therefore
an action under it survives against the estate of a director. Stephens v.
Overstolz, 43 Fed. Rep., 465.
Where a bank director makes a wrongful loan of money from which loss
occurs it is no defense to an action by the receiver of the bank against the
director's estate that the insolvency of the person to whom the loan was
made was not discovered until after the death of the director and the
appointment of the receiver, Ib.
An action by a receiver of a bank whose charter has been forfeited under
above statute against a director is properly brought at law, there beiu^
no necessity for invoking the aid of a court of chancery either because of
the nature of the issues involved, or to avoid a multiplicity of actions.
Ib., 771.
In such action plaintiff may state the aggregate amount of the excessive
loans made to each party, and the damage resulting therefrom in each
case, accompanying each allegation with an exhibit showing the dates
and amounts of the several loans that go to make up the aggregate sum
stated in the petition and is not compelled to declare in a separate count
for each loan made. Ib.

66. Rev. St., sees. 5234 and 5239, prescribing the method of enforcing the liability
of the directors of national banks for violation of the banking law, are
exclusive of other remedies, and a creditor of an insolvent bank, for which
a receiver has been appointed, can not sue its directors for the purpose
of making them personally liable for the mismanagement of the bank.
National Fxcli. Bank of Baltimore v. Peters et al., 44 Fed. Rep., 13.
67. A stockholder in an insolvent national bank for which a receiver has been
appointed can not sue its directors to make them personally liable for the
mismanagement of the bank, as the right of action is in the receiver and
not in the individual stockholder. Howe v. Barney et al., 45 Fed. Rep., 668.
68. Defendants, aa directors, during a run on their bank posted conspicuously
in the bank a notice, signed by them and addressed to the general public,
representing the bank to be solvent. Plaintiff saw the notice, and, after
a consultation with the directors, loaned the bank money, which was lost.
Held, That the notice, not being addressed to plaintiff, could not entitle
it to recover from the directors, under R. L. Vt., section 983, which
provides that no action shall be brought to charge any person upon a
representation concerning the credit of another, unless such representation is in writing, and signed by the party to be charged; and the fact
that the notice was signed by defendants as directors would prevent a
recovery from them individually, even if the notice were a sufficient
representation in writing. First National Bank of Plattsburg v. Sowles
et al., 46 Fed. Rep., 731.
69. The executive officers of an association can not bind it as a gratuitous
bailee, unless they have a special authority from the board of directors so
to do, or there exists a general custom or usage to that effect. First
National Bank of Lyons v. Ocean National Bank, 60 N. Y., 278.
70. An action may be brought by a receiver of a national bank against its directors to recover damages sustained by their gross negligence. Brinckerlioff
v. Boshvick, 88 N. Y., 52; 3 N. B. C, 591.
71. If the receiver is one of the directors, such action may be maintained by the
stockholders, or, when they are numerous, by one or more in behalf of
all. Ib.
72. It is not necessary to allege in the complaint a direction from the Comptroller, or a demand upon him and a refusal to direct the receiver to bring
the action, or a refusal of the receiver to sue. II).
73. Such an action may be brought in a State court. Ib.
74. The bank, and the receiver, as such, are necessary parties defendant to such
an action. Ib.
75. The board of directors of a bank is a body recognized by law, and to all purposes of dealing with others constitutes the corporation. Burrill v. President, Directors, etc., of the Naliant Bank, 2 Metcalf, 163.
76. A board of bank directors may delegate authority to a committee of its
members to alienate or mortgage real estate; and such authority to convey real estate necessarily implies authority to execute proper instruments
for that purpose, and to affix the corporate seal thereto. Ib.
77. Where a board of bank directors authorized a committee of its members " t o
sell and transfer any estate owned by the bank," and the committee gave
mortgage of the real estate of the bank to a creditor who had recovered
judgment against the bank on its bills, and took from him at the same
time a bond conditioned that he would not put those bills in circulation,
and the board of directors accepted said bond and acted on it, and the
cashier paid the costs of the suit in wThich said judgment was recovered,
according to the agreement made between said creditor and said committee, it was held that whether the committee had or had not authority
to mortgage the estate, the mortgage had been ratified by the board of
directors. Ib.
78. A stockholder in a national bank can not maintain an action against the
president and directors for their neglect and mismanagement of the
affairs of the bank, whereby insolvency ensued and the stock became
worthless. Comvay v. Halsey, 44 N. J. £., 462; 3 N. B. C, 571.
79. A judge who is a director of a national bank can not try a case to which it
is a party, since, by Rev. St., sec. 5146, he must necessarily be interested
as a stockholder. Williams v. City National Bank, 27 S. TV., 147.
80. The election of an individual as a director does not constitute him an agent
of the corporation with authority to act separately and independently of
his fellow-members. It is the board duly convened and acting as a unit
102

OFFICERS—Continued.
that is made the representative of the association. The assent or determination of the members of the board, acting separately and individually,
ia not the assent of the corporation. The law proceeds upon the theory
that the directors shall meet and counsel with each other, and that any
determination affecting the association shall be arrived at and expressed
only after a consultation at a meeting of the board, attended by at least a
majority of its members. National Bank v. Drake, 35 Kans., 564.
81. Stockholders have no standing in court to interfere for the protection of
their company until the board of directors of the company have neglected
or refused an application to take the proper steps to protect the interests
of the company. Bobbs v. Western National Bank, 8 Weekly Notes of Cases,
131; 2 N. B. C.,187.
82. It is a mistake to suppose that the directors of national banks cease to be
such, and that their duty to the bank lapses, when an examiner is put in
charge of its funds, properties, and books by the Comptroller. Robinson
v. Hall ei al., V. >S. C. C. A., Oct., 1894.
83. They were, still, as much the advisors of the bank examiner as they had
been of the cashier, notwithstanding they were not invested by law with
the control over him, which they were empowered to exercise over the
cashier. 1 b.
84. Their duty as directors does not cease until after the appointment of a
receiver. 1b.
85. If directors were depositors, and knew two months or more before suspension that that event was inevitable, and that the bank could pay only a
percentage of its deposits, and yet checked for the whole of their own
balances, thereby diminishing the percentage to which other creditors
would be entitled, they certainly defrauded to the extent of the diminution
the creditors whose interest they were relied upon to protect, and should
be held to strict accountability/ 1b.
D. President—
86. The president of a national bank has no power inherent in his office to bind
the bank on the execution of a note in its name; but power to do so may
be conferred on him by the board of directors, either expressly by resolution to that effect, or by subsequent ratification, or by acquiescence in
transactions of a similar nature of which the directors have notice.
National Bank of Commerce v. Atkinson, 55 Fed. Rep., 465.
87. If a president of a bank exercised the functions of a cashier, and was the
sole managing officer of the bank, he had authority to borrow money for
the use of the bank in the regular course of its business. Simons et al. v.
Fisher, 55 Fed. Rep., 905.
88. The retention by a national bank of the proceeds of the sale and guaranty
of notes owned by the bank is a ratification of the president's act in such
selling, whether he was authorized to execute the guaranty or not.
Thomas v. City National Bank, 58 N. W., 943.
89. The president of a banking corporation has the power to employ counsel and
manage the litigation o t a bank, in the absence of any order of the board
of directors depriving him of such power. Citizen's National Bank of King man v. Berry et al., 37 P., 131.
90. The president of a national bank has no authority to subscribe money from
the bank on condition that certain parties would erect a paper mill in the
town. Robertson v. Buffalo County National Bank, 58 N. W., 715.
91. The authority of the president of a national bank to guaranty notes of third
parties, held and sold by the bank, will be presumed in favor of a purchaser without notice to the contrary. Thomas v. City National Bank, 58
N. W., 943.
92. It is doubtful whether a general authority in the president of a bank to
make discounts could empower him to make an arrangement under which
the bank would surrender securities on receiving others, which, it was at
the same time agreed, should be mere nullities so far as the sureties were
concerned. The First National Bank of Sturgis v. Bennett et al., 33 Mich.,520.
93. A guaranty against loss or liability for signing as sureties, given by a bank
president in his own name and without authority from the directors, to
those whom he had solicited thus to sign a note given to the bank to retire
a prior note held by it against their principal, is held to be the individual
contract of the president, and not binding upon the bank. Ib.
94. C , in order to obtain a credit in his personal account with a baDk of which he
was the president, procured the defendants, a banking firm, to discount his
individual note, credit the amount to the bank, and notify the bank that

103
OFFICERS—Continued.
lie had deposited the amount with them to the credit of the bank. The
bank had previously given C. credit for the amount, and, after being notified by the defendants that the deposit had been actually made with them,
allowed C. to overdraw his account. Thereafter, and while his account
with the bank was overdrawn, C , in his official character as president,
authorized the defendants to charge the note to the account of the bank,
and the defendants did so: Held, in a suit by the receiver of the bank t )
recover the deposit, That, unless expressly authorized to do so, the president of the bank could not use the funds of the bank to pay his personal
obligation, and, there being no proof of such express authority, the
authorization given by him to the defendants was not a defense to the
clnim. Chrystie et al. v. Foster, 61 Fed. Hep., 551,
95. The inherent powers of a president of a bank by virtue of his office are
very limited, and it is difficult to say what powers he inherently possesses,
if any other than the power to take charge of the litigation of the bank
by employing counsel and otherwise. The First National Bank of Wellsburg v. Kimberlands, 16 W. Va., 555.
96. A president of a bank may be authorized by its directors to do any act
which they are authorized by their charter to do, unless the act to be done
can by the charter bo done only by the directors themselves. Ib.
97. Such authority need not be proven by showing that it was expressly conferred by the board of directors, but may be proven by showing the existence of such facts as constitute clearly a public holding out that the particular act done or contract entered into was within the scope of his legitimate delegated authority. Ib.
98. The inference that such authority has been impliedly conferred may be
legitimately drawn by proving that he was in the habit of doing acts or
making contracts of the same general character as the particular act or
contracts which he has done or made, and that these acts or contracts
which he was in the habit of doing, though applied to different subjects,
involved the same general power, except when the acts and contracts
which he was in the habit of doing or making were so very numerous and
so variant in their character as clearly to justify the inference that he was
authorized impliedly to do all acts and make all contracts which the
directors had the power to do or to make, and to confer on the president
the right to do or to make. Ib.
99. The directors of a b m k may ratify any act done or contract made by the
president without authority which they could have authorized him to do
or to make. Ib.
100. The acceptance of the benefits of a contract made by the president for the bank
is an implied ratification of such contract, and if money is received by its
cashier for the bank under such contract, even when such receipt was
unknown to the directors, it will be a confirmation of the contract, unless
the money so received is returned, when its receipt becomes known to the
directors. Ib.
101. Where the articles of association of a national bank, signed by all the original stockholders, and giving express authority to the board of directors to
remove the president, have been transmitted to the Comptroller of the
Currency, who has, on receiving the same, issued circulating.notes to the
bank, he will be deemed to have approved the articles, and the directors
will have the power to remove the president, even though the bank has
never legally adopted any by-laws. Taylor v. Button, 43 Barb., 195 ; 1 N.
B. C, 755.
E. Vice-president—
102. The vice-president and general executive officer of a national bank has no
power to borrow so large a sum as $200,000 at four months' time for the
bank in the absence of special authority from the board of directors, and
persons dealing with him are presumed to know the extent of his powers
in this regard. Western National Bank v. Armstrong, 14 S. Ct.s572 ; 152 U.
S., 346.
103. Ratification of the unauthorized act of a national-bank officer in borrowing
$200,000 for the bank can only be made, if at all, by the board of directors,
acting with knowledge of the material facts, and can not be inferred from
the mere fact that by direction of the same officer the money was placed
to the credit of the bank, when it appears that it was drawn out by him
and the assistant cashier, and that no part of it came to the use or benofit
of the bank. Ib.

they matured, such offset might be made; but an offset of this kind cannot be allowed where it appears that the notes were not the property of
the bank at the time of its failure, but had been indorsed away for value.

14. But a debtor can not set off the amount of a deposit assigned to him after
the act of insolvency committed. Venango National Bank v. Taylor, 56
Penn. St., 14.
15. The ordinary equity rule of set-off in case of insolvency is that where the
mutual obligations have grown out of the same transaction, insolvency on
the one hand justifies the set-off of the debt due on the other, and there
is nothing in the statutes relating to national banks which prevents the
application of that rule to the receiver of an insolvent national bank
under circumstances like those in this case. Scott v. Armstrong, 146

16. A customer of a national bank who, in good faith, borrows money of the

the insolvency and dissolution of the bank and the appointment of a
receiver before the maturity of the note, to have the balance to his credit
at the time of the insolvency applied to the payment of his indebtedness
on the note. 1b.

19. While as a general rule in the administration of the estate of an insolvent
debtor equality among creditors is equity, courts are not required to ignore
the principle that only the balance, in case of mutual debts, is the real
sum owing by or to the insolvent. Hugliiit v. Hayes, 136 N. T., 163.
20. Claims will be^ regarded by a court of equity as due, notwithstanding the
absence of a technical demand, when equitable considerations require that
they shall be applied each to the other. 11).
21. In the application of cross demands to the satisfaction of each other, the
insolvency of one of the parties is a material circumstance, and although
the debt owing by the insolvent may not be due, the creditor may waive
the credit, and a court of equity will then apply it upon the debt from
the insolvent, if that has matured. Ib.
22. The First National Bank entered into an oral contract with plaintiff to sell
him certain real estate for a price specified. Plaintiff took possession under
the contract, and made large and valuable improvements, with the knowledge and consent of the bank, which had authorized its cashier to execute
a conveyance pursuant to the contract. Plaintiff had a deposit account
with the bank. Shortly before the failure he for the third time requested
the cashier to execute the conveyance; this the latter promised to do without further delay. Thereafter plaintiff accumulated his deposits with
intent to use the balance to his credit in paying for the land when the
deed was delivered ; this was known to the cashier. Plaintiff also, with
the knowledge of the cashier, purchased a certificate of deposit issued by
the bank with a view of applying it toward the payment. Plaintiff also
did work and furnished materials for the bank, the account for which he
rendered to it before the failure, and it was agreed that it should be
adjusted on the final settlement for the purchase. Plaintiff, until the
bank closed its doors, had no knowledge of its insolvency or of any fact
affecting its credit. In an action against the receiver of the bank for a
specific performance: Held, That plaintiff was entitled to the relief
sought, and that he was entitled to be credited on the purchase price the
balance due him on the deposit account, the amount of the certificate of
deposit, and of the account for work and materials. Ib.

24. When a bank closes its doors and commits an act of insolvency, its deposits,
whether on account or certificate, at once become due without demand or
notice, and are to be set off against a depositor's debt due the bank. Ib.
25. A certificate of deposit issued by a national bank is not a promissory note
within the meaning of Gen. St., chap. 53, sec. 10; and in an action thereon
by a person to whom it has been transferred by the depositor, the bank is
not entitled to set off the amount due upon a promissory note given by
the depositor to and discounted by the bank, the certificate being issued
for the proceeds of such note. Shute v. Pacific National Bank, 136 Mass., 487.

27. On the failure of a national bank a depositor was indebted to it on eleven
notes to the amount of $5,000, and had on deposit some $2,900. The receiver
of the bank agreed that this sum should go as a set-off on the indebtedness,
the depositor to pay the notes first coming due, and the deposit to be
applied on the last-maturing notes. After paying the first two notes it
was found that the others were in the hands of third parties, and the
depositor was compelled to pay them, and filed a bill to authorize the
receiver to refund the money paid under a mutual mistake. This bill was
heard by the district judge of the western district of Tennessee, sitting in
the circuit court of the southern district of Ohio. Held, That t|ie deposit
should properly be set-off against the claim of the bank, and the depositor
should recover the sum paid by him; but as the district judge of the
southern district of Ohio had held in an action between the same bank and
a creditor, the circuit judge concurring therein, that the plea of set-off was

not available, in order that there might not be different rules of set-off in
the same court in the case of the same insolvent, and as the case can not
be appealed, it will be remanded for reargument before the regular judges,
who may, in their discretion; provide for a dissent of record, or do what may
to them seem right in the premises. Snyders' Sons Co. v. Armstrong, 37
Fed. Bep., 18.
28. The indorser of a note discounted by a national bank and which matures
after the bank becomes insolvent and a receiver is appointed is entitled
to set off against the note the amount of his deposit in the bank at the
time of its failure. Yardley v. Clothier, 51 Fed. Bep., 506.
29. Debts of a partner and his firm to a bank can not, in equity, be set off by a
receiver of the bank against trust moneys which the partner, after the
debts were contracted, mingled with the firm deposits, without the bank's
knowledge, and the whole amount of which remained continuously in the
bank until it failed. Fisher v. Knight, 61 Fed. Bep., 491.
30. A cross demand, to be available as a set-off at law, must be such as would
supportvin independent action at law by the defendant, at the commencement of the suit; hence, a payment of his principal's debt by the surety,
after the commencement of suit against him on a debt due to his principal, is not available as a set-off in the action. Goldthwaite v. National
Bank, 67 Ala., 549.
31. As against the assignee or.holder of a promissory note, suing the maker, the
doctrine of set-off has never been carried further than to put him in
the place of the payee, or party having the benefiial interest; and a setoff in favor of the maker, against an intermediae holder, has been uniformly disallowed, in the absence of an agreement founded on new consideration, between the maker and such intermediate holder. Ib.
32. In the absence of all intervening equities, courts of equity put the same construction on statutes of set-off as do courts of law. Insolvency is recognized as a ground for the allowance of a set-off in equity, when it would
not be allowed at law, but it is only the insolvency of the original creditor
against whom the claim is asserted; and while the assignee of nonnegotiable paper takes it subject to all equities to which it was subject in the
hands of the assignor, this means only the equities between the original
parties, and does not include equities which may arise between other parties in the course of its transfer. Ib.
33. The receiver of an insolvent national bank sued A and B on their joint note
given to the bank. They claimed to set off notes given by the bank, and
C and D who were also insolvent, as joint makers, to I) alone, and
maturing after the receiver's appointment, and growing out of a distinct
transaction from the note in suit: Held, not a proper set-off. Batch v.
Wilson. 25 Minn., 299; 2 N. B. C, 274.
34. The voluntary payment by the maker of a promissory note, with a full
knowledge of all the facts, operates as an abandonment and waiver of all
right to set off' cross demands or independent debts, and a bill disclosing
such facts presents no case for equitable relief by way of equitable set-off.
United States Bung Manufg Co., v. Armstrong, 34 Fed. Bep., 94.
35. A bank may lawfully set off indebtedness of a stockholder to the bank
against dividends accruing on such stockholder's shares. First National
Bank v. De Morse, 26 S. W., 417.
36. In an action by a receiver of an insolvent bank to charge the estate of a
shareholder with an assessment on his shares, the executor claimed, by
way of set-off, that property belonging to the estate had been delivered
to the bank, upon the understanding that it should be applied on the
assessment if the bank should fail: Held, Not a proper subject to set off,
even though the bank examiner assented to the agreement. Witters,
Beceiver, etc., v. Soivles, exW, 32 Fed. Bep., 130.
37. The indebtedness of the stockholders on their individual liability, together
with the other assets of the insolvent bank, constitute a trust fund for the
benefit of its creditors; and in equity such indebtedness of a stockholder
who is insolvent may be set off against a dividend, payable out of the
trust fund, on a balance due him on his deposit account with the bank at
the time of its failure. King etal. v. Armstrong, Beeeirer.
38. An assignment by the stockholder of his claim against the bank, before the
direction of the Comptroller to enforce his liability, but after the insolvency of the bank, does not affect the right to set off his liability against
the dividend due on his claim, nor does the fact that the Comptroller, at
the time of the assignment, had not determined the amount necessary to

sufficient that such direction has been given, and amount so determined

failure. Adams v. Spokane Drug Company, 57 Fed. Rep., 888.
40. Where a promissory note was discounted by a national bank and bills of
exchange issued for a part of the proceeds, which were dishonored because
of the subsequent failure of such bank, and part of the residue of the
proceeds still remained to the credit of the maker of such note: Held,
That in an action on such note by the receiver of the bank the maker
could set oft' the amount of the bills of exchange and the amount still
standing to his credit on the books of the bank. Ib,

bank can not make a valid contract for the cashing of checks upon it at a
different place from that of its residence through the agency of another
bank. Armstrong v. Second Nat. Bank of Springfield, 38 Fed. Rep., 883.

1. If the officers of a national bank, at the time of pledging a note to secure a
depositor who.had been allowing the bank to use his money, and who was
apprehensive of a loss thereof, saw that the bank was approaching failure
and made the pledge to keep the note out of the assets to be distributed,
such pledge would be void; but if they made it to prevent failure, and
expecting to prevent failure, by retaining and using the deposit to pay
other depositors, it would be good. Roberts v. Sill, 23 Fed. Rep., 311.

should be sustained. Ib.
3. The word u insolvency," as used in sec. 52 of the act of 1864 (13 St. at
Large, 115; Rev. St., sec. 5242), making void all transfers, assignments,
payments, etc., "made after the commission of an act of insolvency or in
contemplation thereof, is synonymous with the same word as used in the
bankrupt act, and means a present inability to pay in the ordinary course
of business. Case v. Citizens' Bank of Louisiana, 2 Woods, 23; 1, N. B. C,
276.
4. To make transfers, assignments, etc., void under sec. 52, it is only necessary that the insolvency should be in the contemplation of the bank making transfers; the party receiving the transfers need not know of or
contemplate such insolvency. Ib.

when it again failed. Between March 24, 1882, and April 28, 1882, certain
creditors, whose claims had been disputed and rjlaced in a suspense account,
attached the property of the bank, whereupon the bank gave bond, with
the president and a director as sureties, and the attachments were dissolved. The bank transferred to the sureties, March 22, 1882, a certificate
of deposit for $100,000 on another bank, which, on April 13, 1882, was
exchanged for other property: Held, That such transfer was not made
after the commission of an act of insolvency by the bank, or in contemplation thereof, and with a view to a preference or to prevent the application

that the bank could not escape liability for such loan ou the ground that
the president had no authority to effect it where it appeared that it was
effected with the knowledge of the directors, and the money was received

depositor. The directors of the Pacific Bank having, one Saturday after
closing, determined to go into liquidation, dispatched a committee to Washington to confer with the Comptroller of the Currency as to the appointment of a receiver. The appointment was made about 10 a. m. on Monday. Mpnday morning the cashier of the Pacific Bank sent the checks
and drafts received by mail to the Security Bank, and with them his check
for the whole amount of the bank's deposits, for which he received a negotiable certificate of deposit of the Security Bank. The latter at the time
held the Pacific Bank's negotiable certificate of deposit. The transaction
occurred about 9.30 a. m., when no officer of the Security Bank knew or

a delit is created; and if the transaction be free from fraud in fact, and
is intended merely to adequately protect a loan made at the time, the creditor can retain property transferred to secure such a loan until the debt
is paid, though the'debtor is insolvent, and the creditor has reason at the
time to believe that to be the fact. Armstrong v, Chemical National Bank,

Section 5242, Rev. St., does not prohibit a bank which has in good faith
accepted the draft of a national bank the day before the latter's insolvency, and afterward paid the same, from applying the proceeds of collections made by it, on paper in its hands belonging to the insolvent bank,
to the payment of the draft, since its lien on such collections runs from
the date of the acceptance. In re Armstrong, 41 Fed. Rep., SSL
In an action by the receiver of a national bank to recover back pavments
alleged to have been made by the bank in violation of the provision of the
national banking act (sec. 5242), declaring void all transfers of securities
and payments made by a bank organized under it " after the commission
of an act of insolvency or in contemplation
thereof made with a view to
prevent the application of its assets,v as prescribed by the act, these facts
were found: Defendant held three certificates of deposit issued by the
bank, drawing 6percentinterest; its cashier, for the reason alleged by him
that the directors did not like his paying so large a, rate of interest, voluntarily paid two of them, mostly by transferring to defendant negotiable
paper. The third certificate was paid on presentation. The bank at the
time of these payments was, in fact, insolvent, and had been for years, but
this was known only to the cashier; it was in good credit and had committed no act of insolvency and paid all its obligations as they became
due, or were demanded, for six weeks after the last of said payments was
made: Held, That the complaint was properly dismissed, as plaintiff
failed to show that the payments were made in contemplation of insolvency, or to prevent the application of the bank's assets as prescribed by
the act. Hayes, Receiver, v. Beardsley, 136 N. Y , 2,29.
The insolvency of the bank was so concealed by the cashier that none of its
directors had any suspicion thereof, and it was not discovered by the
bank examiner: Held, That under tho circumstances the fact that
defendant was a director did not as matter of law charge him with
liability for the pavments made to him; that it having been found tint
he acted in good faith and in ignorance of any wrongdoing, or of fie
bank's insolvency, payments made to him were to be tested under said
provisions like payments made to other creditors. Ib.
Under Rev. St., sec. 5242, which forbids all preferences among the creditors

deposit; and as he claims under his original title, and not under a transfer from the association, such reclamation does not amount to a preference.

Receiver, 55 Fed. Rep., 850.
6. In a package of miscellaneous bonds was the memorandum of the date,
amount, and time when due, and also the words "$6,500 due Putnam:"
Held, That these facts did not show an equitable assignment by the bank
to the plaintiff of '$6,500 worth of bonds. To constitute an equitable
assignment of property, there must be an appropriation or separation, and
the mere intent to appropriate is not sufficient. Putnam Savings Bank v.
Beal, 54 Fed. Rep., 577.
7. Where the treasurer and tax collector of a county, without authority of law,
deposit
county money in a bank and receive certificates of deposit marked
l
\ special," the title to the moneys does not pass, although there is no agreement that the identical bills shall be returned and they are mixed with
the bank's general funds, and the county is entitled to recover an equal
amount from a receiver of the bank prior to the payment of the general
depositors. San Diego County v. California National Bank et ah, 52 Fed.
Rep., 59. (See Multomah County et al. v. Oregon National Bank et al., 61
:•
Fed. Rep., 912.)
8. Certain checks marked " for deposit" were deposited in a bank at a quarter
to 3 on Saturday, and credit was immediately given for the amount thereof
on the pass book. The bank closed at 3, and the next day was declared
insolvent with the checks still in its hands. It was the bank's custom, at
the close of each day's business, to balance its books, crediting depositors
with the amount of their checks, and if a check was subsequently
returned unpaid from the clearing house, it was charged off to the depositors. The depositor in this instance did not know of this custom. He
had made deposits with the bank for several years without any special
arrangement, and had never drawn against xmcollected checks, except by
particular understanding: Held, That on these facts title had passed to
the bank so as to create the relation of debtor and creditor. City of SomervilleY. Beal, Receiver, 49 Fed. Rep., 790.
9. But where the foregoing facts were alleged in the bill, and connected with
the further allegation that, at the time the checks were received, the bank
was "irretrievably insolvent, and made so by the operations of the president and two others of the directors," and that the depositor then believed
it to be solvent, and had no means of knowing of its insolvency, this was
sufficient to show fraud, and to render the bank liable to return the checks
or their proceeds. Ib.
10. It was not necessary for thp bill to specifically allege that the officers of the
bank had knowledge of its insolvency, since such knowledge would be
implied from the allegation that the insolvency was caused by the president and two directors. Ib.
11. A city treasurer deposited checks in a bank, indorsed by him "for deposit,"
and the checks were immediately credited to him on his pass book, though
not in pursuance of any agreement to that effect. He had been a depositor
in the bank for some years, but had no agreement that his checks should
be treated as cash, or that he should draw against them before collection.
The bank became insolvent before the checks were collected, and their
proceeds passed into the hands of a receiver: Held, That no title passed
to the bank except as a bailee, and that the depositor was entitled to the
proceeds. Beal, Receiver, v. City of Somerville, 50 Fed. Rep., 647,
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 113
PREFERRED CLAIMS—Continued.
12. No knowledge by any of the officers of a bank, of its insolvency, is sufficient
to avoid transactions between the bank and its customers, on the ground
of fraud, unless the evidence clearly shows that the directors, who represent the corporation, also had such knowledge. Balbach et al. v. FrelingJmysen, Receiver\ etc., 15 Fed. Hep., 675.
13. When a bank has become hopelessly insolvent, and its president knows that it
is so, it is a fraud to receive deposits of checks from an innocent, depositor,
ignorant of its condition, and he can reclaim them or their proceeds; and
the pleadings in this case are so framed as to give the plaintiff in error the
benefit of this principle. St. Louis and San Francisco Railway Co. v. Johnston, 133 U. S.t 566.
14. Where complainant sent a draft to a bank for collection charged with a trust
to pay the proceeds thereof when collected to complainant, the bank being
insolvent at the time, and its officers knew of its insolvency and that the
bank would be obliged to suspend within a day or two, and the bank
received the draft of an agent of the owner to remit the proceeds thereof,
when converted into a draft on another bank to the credit of complainant,
but instead of so remitting the proceeds thereof it kept the same, and
mingled the proceeds of such draft with its own funds: Held, That such
conversion by the bank was fraudulent, but that in an action by complainant for the recovery of such proceeds, it is incumbent upon the complainant to trace the fund misappropriated into the hands of the receiver substantially appointed for the insolvent bank, before the latter can be charged
with recognizing complainant's equitable title thereto. Illinois Trust and
Savings Bank v. First National Bank and another, Receiver, etc., 15 Fed.
Rep., 858.
15. A cestui que trust cannot follow his fund into the hands of an assignee in
bankruptcy, or of an executor of such trustee, but must occupy the position of a general creditor of the estate, unless he can identify his fund. Ih.
16. The right to follow it trust fund ceases when the means of ascertainment and
identification fail, as where the subject matter is turned into money,
and mixed aud confounded in a general mass of property of the same
description. Ih.
17. The Comptroller having notified a national bank that its capital was
impaired, it was agreed that it might continue business on the directors
putting in $100,000 in cash, and retiring that amount of objectionable
securities. That sum was contributed; the account being opened with
trustees appointed by the directors to manage the fund, with full power,
as far as the bank was concerned, and to account therefor to the contributors in such manner as to protect the equities of each individual and the
bank, in relation to the bank and its legal rights. It was understood
between the trustees and the examiner that the securities to be retired
were to be designated by the Comptroller or examiner, but there was no
such understanding with the Comptroller. The full amount of objectionable securities had not been selected and given to the trustees when the
bank was closed, the receiver taking and proceeding to collect the whole
assets: Held, That the receiver was not required to account for the
balance of the $100,000 as a special trust fund, but merely as a debt.
Booth et al v. Welles, 42 Fed. Rep., 11.
18. Where money and checks are unsuspectingly deposited in a bank, which is
known by its managing officer to be hopelessly insolvent, a few minutes
before closing hour on the last day on which it does business, and the
checks are subsequently collected by the bank's clerk, the whole of the
deposit is charged with a trust, and an equal amount may be recovered
from the receiver, who retains the specific money among the general mass
of the bank's funds. Wassonx. Hawkins, 59 Fed. Rep., 233.
19. Where plaintiff deposits money with the receiving teller of a bank a few
minutes before the bank closes its doors, to be credited to his account, and
the teller, not knowing of the coming failure, after crediting the money in
plaintiff's pass book, puts the money and deposit ticket one side, and before
entry is made in the books of the bank, it closes its doors, and the money
is, by order of the directors, placed apart, and in that condition delivered
to the receiver, plaintiff can maintain replevin for the money so deposited.
Furher v. Stephens, 35 Fed. Rep., 17.
20. A creditor of an insolvent national bank, whose demand grows out of a fraudulent transaction perpetrated by the officers of the bank in contemplation
of the immediate wrecking of their corporation, does not thereby become
entitled to a preference over the general creditors of the bank. Citizens'
Nat. Bankv. Dowd, 35 Fed. Rep.,340.

21. On the 22d and 23d of March plaintiff, a bank in Raleigh, N. C , received in
the ordinary course of business checks drawn on the State National Bank
of that city, which, after deduction had been made of its checks received
by the latter bank, amounted to $17,000. It paid the same by its checks
on a bank in New York. The president of the State National Bank knew
when he signed such checks that they would not be honored, and was
making preparations to abscond Avith the assets of his bank: Held, That
plaintiff is not entitled to any preference over other unsecured creditors.
Ib.
22. Plaintiffs deposited in the usual course of business certain drafts with a
national bank, which were credited to them on the books of the bank and
in their pa^s book. The bank was at the time irretrievably insolvent,*
and its drafts had gone to protest the day before; of this its president, to
whom was intrusted its entire control and management, had full knowledge, and presumably its other officers and agents. The bank kept open
until the usual hour of closing on the day of the deposit, but did not
open its doors thereafter, and went into the hands of a receiver. In an
action to recover the deposit: Held, That in permitting plaintiffs to make
it in reliance upon the supposed solvency of the bank a gross fraud was
practiced upon the plaintiffs, and they were entitled to reclaim the drafts
or their proceeds. Also, that the right of plaintiffs to make the reclamation was not precluded by the provisions of Rev. St., sees. 5234 and 5242
forbidding all preferential payments or transfers by an insolvent bank,
and providing for a ratable distribution of its assets, as plaintiffs did not
claim under a transfer from the bank, but under their original title
that their relation as creditors terminated when they elected to rescind
the contract implied when the deposit was made, and they were seeking
simply to reclaim their own property, and that neither the receiver nor
any creditor of the bank had any equity to have such property applied in
payment of its obligations. Cragieet al. v. Hadley, Receiver, 99 N. Y., 131.

REAL ESTATE:
1. Where a national-banking association acquires real estate which it is not
authorized to take, the conveyance to it is not void, but only voidable.
And the title of the association to such real estate is good until assailed
in a direct proceeding by the Government. National Bank v. Matthews,
98 U. S., 621; National Bank v. Whitney, 103 U. 8., 99; Swope v. Leffingwell,
105 U. S., 3; Reynolds v. Cratvfordsville Bank, 112 U. S., 405 ; Fortier v. New
Orleans Bank, 112 U. S., 439.
2. The amount of real estate-which a national-banking association may purchase to secure a preexisting debt is not limited to the exact amount of

due, so long as the security of such debt is the real object of the purchase.
Upton v. National Bank of"South Reading, 120 Mass., 153.
3. Where the purpose is to secure a debt, previously contracted, a nationalbanking association may take a conveyance of" real estate, worth more
than the debt, and pay the difference between the debt and the value of
the property. Libby v. Union National Bank, 99111., 622.
4. A national-banking association may take as security for a loan the stock of
a corporation whose entire capital is invested in real estate. Such a loan
does not amount to* a lending upon mortgage. Baldwin v. Canfield, 26
Minn., 43.
5. A national-banking association, having taken a mortgage on real estate to
secure a debt previously contracted, may, in order to protect itself, pay
off a prior lien.on the said real estate; and the lien which it thus acquires
it may enforce. Ornn v. Merchants' National Bank, 16 Kans., 341; Holmes v.
Boyd,*90 Irtd., 332.
6. The fact that bank at judgment sale of land mortgaged to it purchases the
mortgaged property, and also other property which it was not authorized
to acquire, does not invalidate its title as to the mortgaged property. Reynolds v. Craivfordsville Bank, 112 U. S., 405.
7. A mortgage to a national bank to secure a present loan by the discount of
commercial paper in the usual course of business is not void, but only voidable at the election of the Government. Graham v. National Bank of New
York, 32 N. J., Eq., 804; 2 N. B. C, 293.
8. A national bank may lawfully take a mortgage to secure future indebtedness.

11. A national bank may purchase, at sheriff's sale, land mortgaged to it as
security for a previous debt. Heath v. Second National Bank of Lafayette,
70 Ind.< 106; 3 N. B. C, 406.
12. A national bank may take title to real estate in discharge of previous indebtedness. Turner v. First National Bank of Madison, 78 Ind., 19; 3 N. B. C,
408.
13. If a national bank discounts a note secured by deed of trust on real estate,
the security passes to and may be enforced by the bank, subject only to
forfeiture of its charter, which penalty can be invoked only by the United
States. Thornton v. National Exchange Bank, 71 Mo., 221; 3 N. B. C, 513.
14. A mortgage of real estate executed to a national bank as security for a
manured antecedent loan is not void. Warren v. DeWitt County National
Bank, 3 Bradwell, 305; 2 N. B. C, 222.
15. A real mortgage to a national bank to secure a present debt or future
advances is not void. First National Bank of Watei^loo v. Elmore, 3 N. W.t
547; 2 N. B. C, 237.
16. National banking associations are by implication prohibited from taking
mortgages on real estate as security for contemporaneous loans. National
Bank v. Matthews, 98 TJ. S., 621; Fowler v. Scully, 72 Penn. St., 456; Kansas
Valley National Bank v. JRoivell, 2 Dill., 371; Commonwealth Bank v. Clark,
4 Mo., 59; Crocker v. Whitney, 71 N. Y., 161: Fridley v. Bowen, 87 III., 151.

Leffingwell, 105 TJ. S., 3; Reynolds v. National Bank, 112 TJ. S., 405; Fortier
v. National Bank, 112^ TJ. S., 439.
18. Where a national-banking association sells real estate it may take a mortgage
thereon to secure the payment of the purchase money. New Orleans National
Bank v. Raymond, 29 La. Ann., 355.
19. An agreement by a national-banking association to the effect that, in case a
note discounted by it shall not be paid, a mortgage given by the maker to
his indorser shall inure to the benefit of the association, is not inhibited
by the national-banking law. First National Bank v. Haire, 36 Iowa, 443;
National Bank v. Matthews, supra.
20. A national bank can not loan money on real estate security ; but after a creditor has made default, or after a loan has been actually made, the bank
may take real estate security therefor unless the transaction be colorable
for the purpose of evading the statute. Merchants1 National Bank v. Mears,
10 Chicago Leg. News, 180; 1 N. B. C, 353.
21. A national bank that has loaned money on timber land may, to protect
itself and collect the debt, purchasef the land at foreclosure sale, and cut
and sell the timber. Roebling Sons Co. v. First National Bank et al., 30
Fed. Rep., 744.
22. The objection that a national bank has loaned money on real estate in violation of the prohibition of the national banking laws does not lie in the
mouth of the delinquent debtor of such loan, and does not disable the
bank from enforcing the same by foreclosing the mortgage. The United
States alone can complain of such violation. State National Bank v.
Flathers Sup. Ct. La.
23. Where notes payable at different times, and secured by a mortgage, are
assigned to different i>ersons, there is no priority of right under the mortgage between the assignees, in the absence of express stipulation, but
each is entitled to share pro rata in the proceeds of the mortgaged property. First National Bank of Aberdeen x. Andrews et al.; Young v. Same, 34
P.,'913; 7 Wash., 261.
RECEIVER: See Insolvent banks; Preferred claims; Collections.

in his hands, a trust fund, which the statute of limitations does not touch or
affect. Riddle v. First National Bank, 27 Fed. Rep., 503.
2. Claims arising out of thenonfeasanceor malfeasance of the association should
be paid ratably with the debts, technically so called. Turner v. First

Secretary, is'an officer of the United States. Stanton v. Wilkeson,8 Ben.,
357,
4. He represents the hank, its stockholders, and its creditors j hut he does not
in any sense represent the Government. Case v. Terrell, 11 Wall., 199.
5. The clause of sec. 50, act of 1864, which prescribes
that the receiver shall
be " under the direction of the Comptroller/7 means only that he shall be
subject to the Comptroller's direction, not that he shall not act without
orders. He may bring suit to collect assets ivithout having been instructed
to do so by the Comptroller. Bank v. Kennedy, 17 Wall., 19.
6. The receiver of a national bank is the instrument of the Comptroller, and
may be removed by him. Kennedy v. Gibson, 8 Wall., 505.
7. The power of the Comptroller to appoint a receiver is not exclusive; it does
not oust the courts of equity of their authority in the matter, and therefore a court of competent jurisdiction may place the bank in the hands of
a receiver in cases where, according to the rules of equity, it may pursue
such a course with regard to insolvent corporations generally. Irons v.
Manufacturers' National Bank, 6 Biss., SOI; Wright v. Merchants' National
Bank, 1 Flippin, 561.
8. Suits brought by a receiver can not be settled or compounded upon an order
of the Comptroller; this can be done only with the authority of the court.
Case v. Small, 2 Woods, 78.

has the right to sue. Bank of Bethel v. Pahquioque Bank, 14 Wall., 383.
10. The receiver can not sell the real or personal property of the bank without an
order from a court of competent jurisdiction. Ellis v. Little, 27 Kans., 707.
11. Nor can he sell upon the terms in conflict with the order. Ib.
12. And under an order permitting him to sell the property of the bank he can
not exchange, trade, or barter it for other property. Ib.
13. A sale made by a receiver under order of a court is to all intents and purposes a judicial sale. In re Third National Bank, 9 Biss., 535.
14. As the power of a receiver of a national bank appointed by the Comptroller
is limited, a person dealing with him in his official capacity is bound, as a
matter of law, to have knowledge of his authority to act, and if contracts
and agreements are entered into with the receiver in excess of his authority as conferred by law, the parties contract at their own peril, and the
estate of the bank can not be charged for the default or inability of a
receiver acting outside of his functions as receiver and beyond the duties
which it involves. Ellis v. Little, 27 Kans., 707.
15. The receiver can not charge the estate of the bank by any executory contract, unless authorized so to do by the provisions of the national-banking
law and the order of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained upon the
terms of said law. Ib.
16. The closing of a national bank by order of the examiner, the appointment of
a receiver, and its dissolution by decree of a circuit court necessarily
transfer the assets of the bank to the receiver. Scott v. Armstrong, 146
U. S,, 499.
17. The receiver in such case takes the assets in trust for creditors, and in the
absence of a statute to the contrary, subject to all claims and defenses
that might have been interposed against the insolvent corporation. Ib.
18. Receiver of national bank may sue for demands in his name as receiver or
in name of bank. Bank v. Kennedy, 17 Wall., 19.
19. Receiver of national bank appointed by Comptroller of the Currency is not
accountable in equity to owner of real estate for rents thereof received by
him and pa*id into United States Treasury, subject to disposition of
Comptroller, under Rev. St., sec. 5234. Hitz v. Jenks, 123 U. S., 297; Briggs
v. Spaulding, 141 V. S., 132.
20. The expenses of receivership of a national bank appointed in a creditor's
suit, contesting a voluntary liquidation of the bank, can not be charged
on stockholders as part of their statutory liability, but must come from
the creditors at whose instance the receiver was appointed, Richmond v.
Irons, 121 U. S., 27.
21. A State court can not order a receiver for a national bank, appointed by the
Comptroller of the Currency, to pay a judgment recovered against the
bank before the appointment of the receiver. Ocean National Bank v.
Carll, 7 Him., 2S7; 1 N. B. C, 792.

23. Such a proceeding is not prohibited by sec. 5242, Rev. St. Ib.
24. A court has no power, under sec. 5324, Rev. St., to order the receiver of a
national Dank to compound debts which are not "bad or doubtful;" and
a composition under such an order of debts not " bad or doubtful," as the
debt of a shareholder arising on his subscription to the stock, is ineffectual.
Price, Receiver of Venango National Bank, v. Yatcs, 19 Alb. L. J., 295; 2 N.
B. C, 204.
25. A district court of the United States may order the receiver of a national
bank to compromise doubtful debts under sec. 50 of the national banking
act (13 St. at Large, 115), which authorizes receivers to compromise
such debts "on the order of a court of record of competent jurisdiction."
Petition of Plait, 1 Benedict, 534; 1 N. B. C, 181.
26. The receiver of a national bank appointed by the Comptroller of the Currency is an officer of the United States, and therefore the district court
has jurisdiction of an action at common law to collect a claim due the
bank at the time of the receiver's appointment. Plait v. Beach, 2 Benedict,
303; 1 N. B. C, 182.
27. The closing of a national bank by order of the examiner, the appointment
of a receiver, and its dissolution by decree of a circuit court, necessarily
transfer the assets of the bank to the receiver. Scott v. Armstrong, 146
U. S.,499.
28. The receiver in such case takes the assets in trust for creditors, and, in the
absence of a statute to the contrary, subject to all claims and defenses that
might have been interposed against the insolvent corporation. Ib.
29. A sale by a receiver of the property of a national bank, under an order of
court, iu accordance with the provisions of sec. 5234, Rev. St., constitutes
a judicial sale. In re Third National Bank, 4 Fed. Rep., 775.
30. Although the rights of a purchaser at a judicial sale are subject to the action
of the court, yet such action must depend upon the general principles and
usages of law. Ib.
31. Held, therefore, where a receiver had sold the property of a national bank,
under an order of court, in accordance with sec. 5234, Rev. St., that such
sale would not thereafter be set aside before confirmation upon a subsequent offer of an advance bid of $5,000 or $6,000, where a former sale of
the same property had been set aside for inadequate price. Ib.
32. The Comptroller of the Currency has no power to compound or settle claims
of a national bank against its debtors; that requires the authority of the
court, under Rev. St., sec. 5234. Quaere: Can he direct their discontinuance? Case, Receiver, v. Small et al., 10 Fed. Rep., 722.
33. Appointments of receivers of national banks, made by the Comptroller of the
Currency as provided by law, are to be presumed to be made with the concurrence or approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, and are made by
the head of a department within the meaning of sec. 2 of article 2 of the
Constitution of the United States. Price, Receiver, Y.Abbott; Same v. Colson, 17 Fed. Rep., 506.
34. Rece iver's certificates are not commercial paper, and the holder takes them
subject to all equities between the original parties, even though he
acquired them for value and without notice. Central National Bank of
Boston v. Hazard et al., 30 Fed. Rep., 484.
35. When such certificates are negotiated at a discount, which the receiver is
not authorized to allow, a subsequent bona fide holder will only be protected to the amount actually advanced by the first purchaser. Ib.
36. The receiver stands in the shoes of the bank and can assert no rights against
the subscribers which the bank could not have asserted. Winters v. Armstrong ; Armstrong v. Stanage; Same v. Wood, 37 Fed. Rep., 508.
37. It is notnecessary that the facts upon which the Comptroller bases his action
in appointing a receiver should be established by what is competent legal
evidence; but he is left to be satisfied as best he can be, under the peculiar
circumstances of each case, of the facts and the necessity for the exercise
of his authority. Platt v. Bqebe, 57 N. Y., 330.
38. In an action to secure the application of part of the funds in the hands of a
receiver of a national bank, appointed by the Comptroller of the Currency,
in satisfaction of plaintiff's claim against the insolvent bank for money
received by it as collecting agent, the bank is only a nominal party, for
the receiver is the one to be held accountable for any unauthorized disposition of the money sued for. Grant v. Spokane Nat. Bank et al., 47 Fed.
Rep., 673.

39. The receiver of an insolvent bank may at any time dismiss an attorney
employed by him, regularly or otherwise, to prosecute claims of the bank,
and employ another in his place, whom the court will, by order, substitute
in the place of the dismissed attorney, except as to such cases as the latter
may have commenced and finished. In re Herman, 50 Fed. Hep., 517.
40. A contract having been entered into between the receiver and the attorney
that the latter should receive the attorney's fees provided for in the notes
he was employed to collect, the court Avill not direct the substitution of
another attorney in unfinished cases until the receiver deposits the amount
of the attorney's fees reserved in the notes as a security to the dismissed
attorney for such services as he may have rendered. Ib.
41. Pub. St., Mass., eh. 13, sees. 8-10, provide that shares of stock in all banks.
State and national, shall be taxed to the owners thereof, to be paid in the
first instance by the bank itself, which, for reimbursement, shall have a
lien on the shares and all the rights of the shareholders in 1he bank property : Held, That no suit for this tax can be maintained against the receiver
of an insolvent national bank where the property represented by the shares
has disappeared; for, there being nothing from which the receiver can be
reimbursed, the tax will fall upon the assets of the bank, which belong to
its creditors, and thereby violate the rule that a State can not tax the
capital stock of a national bank. City of Boston v. Beal, 51 Fed. Be})., 306.
42. Pub. St., Mass., ch. 13, sees. 8,10, provide that shares of stock in all banks,
State and national, shall be taxed to the owners thereof, to be paid in
the first instance b,v the bank itself, which, for reimbursement, shall have
a lien on the shares and all the rights of the shareholders in the bank
property: Held, That no suit for this tax can be maintained against the
receiver of an insolvent national bank where the property represented by
the shares has disappeared. *City of Boston v. Beal, 55 Fed. Rep., 26.
43. The power vested in the Comptroller of the Currency by act June 30, 1876
(19 St., 63), authorizing him, whenever he becomes satisfied of the
insolvency of a national bank, to appoint a receiver, is discretionary;
and his decision as to such insolvency, for the purpose of such an appointment, is final, and not reviewable by the court. Washington National
Bank v. Eckels et ah, 57 Fed. Hep., S70!
44. The right to put a national bank in voluntary liquidation, given to stockholders by Rev. St., sec. 522v). does not affect the right of the Comptroller
to appoint a receiver under the act of June 30, 1876. Ib.
45. Xor does the act of 1876, providing that, after the receiver has had charge of
the bank long enough to pay all its debts, the stockholders may select an
agent to take charge of such assets as remain, limit the power of the Comptroller to take action before the bank ceases to do a banking business. Ib.
46. Section 1 of the act of 1876, authorizing the appointment of a receiver by
the Comptroller to "close u p " a national banking association, contemplates the liquidation and final winding up of the business of the bank,
not the mere closing of the bank, and does not limit the power of the
Comptroller to take action before the bank has closed its doors. Ib.

REPORT: See False entry.
1. A national bank is not required to conform the headings of the various
accounts on its books to au^ prescribed names, nor to the names stated in
the form of report prescribed by the Comptroller, and therefore when a
report is called for, if the person making it enters, under the headings in
the prescribed form a statement of the bank's condition, which is true
with respect to the headings in said form, he has fulfilled the demands of
the law. United States v. Graves, 53 Fed. Bep., 634.
2. The entry of "loans and discounts" in reports to the Comptroller does not
guarantee the solvency of the makers of the paper, but is a statement that
in truth and fact, at the date named in the report, the bank actually held
and owned loans and discounts to the aggregate so reported. Ib.
3. Where the
form of report, as prescribed by the Comptroller,- contains heading of u Loans and Discounts," and? also of "Overdrafts, " it is the duty of
the bank officer to make his entries in such report in such manner that
each of these headings shall truthfully state the condition of his bank as
to such heading. Ib.
4. A director of a bank is personally liable to the bank on paper made to it by
a firm of which he is a member, and, in making a report of the condition
of the bank to the Comptroller, the amount of such paper should be
entered under the heading of " Liabilities of directors (individual and
firm) as payers." Ib.

RESIDENCE :
A national bank is a citizen of the State wherein it is located. Davis v. Cook, 9
Nevada, 134; 1 N. B. C, 656.
RESTRAINING ACTS:
National banking associations located outside of a State are subject to its restraining acts prohibiting all corporations, not authorized by the law of the
State, from keeping therein offices for the purpose of discount and deposit.'
National Bank of Fairhaven v. The Phoenix Warehousing Company, 6 Hun., 71.
SAVINGS BANKS:
After the act of June 30, 1876 (19 St., 63), savings banks organized in the District of Columbia under an act of Congress, and having a capital stock
paid up in whole or in part, were entitled to become national banking
associations in the mode prescribed by Rev. St., sec, 5154. Keyset' v. Hitz,
133 U. S., 138.
SHAREHOLDERS: ^Assessment; Transfer of stock.
1. One who appears on the books of the association as the owner of shares of its
stock is individually liable, though he hold the stock merely as collateral
security. National Bank v. Case, 99 U. S., 628; Moore v. Jones, 3 Woods,
53; Bowdell v. Farmers and Merchants'' National Bank of Baltimore. 2 N. B.
C, 146; Hale v. Walker, 31 Iowa, 344; Wheelock v. Kost, 77 III, 296.
2. And a subscription to stock of a national bank, and payment in full on the
subscription anf. entry of the subscriber's name on the books as a stockholder, constitutes the subscriber a shareholder without taking out a certificate. Pacific National Bank v. Eaton, 141 U. S., 227.
3. If the trusteeship of one who holds stock in trust does not appear upon the
books of the association he will be mdividually liable. Davis v. Essex
Baptist Society, 44 Conn., 582.
4. The real owner of the stock is liable as a stockholder, though when he purchased the stock he had it transferred upon the books to another. Davis
v. Stevens. 17 Blatch., 259.
5. While it is undoubtedly the rule as regards stockholders that one put upon
the books as a stockholder without his consent can not be held for any
liability in respect to such stock, yet where the person to whom the stock
is transferred is a director of the bank, and is concerned in the management of its affairs, he must be presumed to have knowledge of the fact
that the stock stood in his name, and if he has not repudiated the transfer to himself, is liable as the holder of such stock. Brown v. Finn, 34 Fed.
Rep., 124.
6. A national bank, having so received stock of another national bank, was
sued as a stockholder: Held, That loan by national bank on such security
is not prohibited, and if it were, defendant could not avoid liability by
its own illegal act. National Bank v. Case, 99 U. S., 628.
7. Where stockholder^ knowing that bank is to fail, collusively transfers his
shares to an irresponsible person to avoid liability, his liability is not
affected by such fraud. Bowden v Johnson, 107 U. S., 251.
8. A person who is entered on the books of a national bank as the owner of
stock, but who is admitted to hold the stock in trust for the true owner, is
not liable, as a stockholder, for the debts of the bank when the true owner
has been adjudged so liable, although nothing is realized on the execution
of such judgment. Yardley v. Wilgus, 56 Fed. Rep., 965.
9. Subscription to stock and payment in full and entry of name on books as a
stockholder makes subscriber a shareholder without taking out a certificate. Pacific National Bank v. Eaton, 141 U. S., 227; Thayer v. Butler,
ib., 234; Butler v. Eaton, Ib., 240.
10. A pledgee of stock who in good faith takes the security for his benefit in
name of an irresponsible trustee for the avowed purpose of avoiding individual liability as shareholder, incurs no liability as such. Anderson v.
Phila. Warehouse Co., Ill U. S., 479.
11. The statutory liability of a shareholder in a national bank for the debts of
the corporation survives against his personal representatives. Richmond
v. Irons, 121 U.S., 27.
12. Shareholder in national bank continues liable for the company's debts until
his stock is actually transferred or certificate surrendered for that purpose;
a delivery to the president of the bank as vendee, and not as president,
is insufficient to discharge the shareholder. Ib.

SPECIAL DEPOSITS : See Preferred claims.
1. A national banking association may receive special deposits. The provision
in sec. 5228, Rev. St., authorizing an association " t o deliver special
deposits/' implies that it may receive them as a j>art of its legitimate
business; and this implication is as effectual as an expres's declaration
to the same effect would have been. National Bank v. Graham, 100 U.
8., 699,
2. Section 5228, Rev. St., which provides that it shall be lawful for a national
bank after its failure to *' deliver special deposits," is an effectual recognition of its power to receive them. Ib.
3. National bank is liable for damages occasioned by the loss through gross
negligence of a special deposit made in it with knowledge and acquiescence of its officers and directors. Ib.
4. The taking of special deposits, to keep merely for the accommodation of the
depositor, is not within the authorized business of national banks, and
the cashiers of such banks have no power to bind them on any express
contract accompanying, or any implied contract arising out of, such
taking, Wiley v. The First National Bank of Brattleboro, 47 Vermont,
546; 1 N. B. C, 905.
5. A national bank whieh habitually receives special deposits for safe-keeping
as matter of accommodation, is bound by the act of its cashier in receiving on special deposit a package of stocks and bonds. The bank, though
acting without reward, becomes a bailee and is responsible for gross
negligence. The Chattuhoochee National Bank v. Schley, 58 Georgia, 369;
1 N. B. C, 879.
6. If a person withdraws from a bank a special deposit, in pursuance of authority
conferred upon him by the depositor, the bank is discharged, though at
the time its officers were not aware of his authority. Ib.
7. Written authority indorsed on a certificate of deposit of stocks and bonds to
pay a certain person dividends or coupons is no authority for surrendering
the stocks and bonds themselves. Ib.
8. The power to receive special deposits is incidental to the business of banking. Pattison v. The Syracuse National Bank, 80 N. ¥., 82.
9. National banks, therefore, have power to receive special deposits gratuitously or otherwise; and, when received gratuitously, they are liable for
their loss by gross negligence. Ib.
10. The term "special deposits" includes money, securities, and other valuables
delivered to banks, to be specifically kept and delivered. It is not confined to securities held by the banks as collateral to loans. Ib.
11. The plaintiff delivered to the defendant bank $4,000 of United States bonds
and received this writing: u Received of J. D. Whitney four thousand dol' lars, for safe-keeping as a special deposit. S. M. Waite, C." Held, That
it was a naked deposit without reward; that the defendant wonld not be
liable for the robbery or larceny of the bonds, unless there was complicity
or bad faith; that it was answerable only for fraud or for gross negligence; that the law demands good faith and the same care of the plaintiff's bonds as defendant took of its own of like character. Whitney v.
The First National Bank of Brattleboro, 55 Yt., 154.
12. An action against a bank for the conversion or the loss by gross negligence
of valuable articles deposited with it as a bailee without hire can not be
sustained on evidence from which the inference that the articles were
stolen by servants of the bank, selected and continued in its employment
without negligence, who in the proper course of business had access to them,
is equally deducible with any other inference Smith v. First National
Bank of Westfield, 99 Mass., 605.
13. In an action of trover against; a bank, after its reorganization as a national
bank, for the value of certain special deposits in coin made prior thereto.
Held, That the measure of damage was the value of the coin at the date
of its conversion, with interest thereon. Coffey v. The National Bank of
Missouri, 46 Mo,, 140; 1 N. B. C, 644.
14. To recover against a bank for bonds left with the bank as a gratis bailment,
something more is needed than the mere fact that they were stolen from
the bank. Wylie v. Northampton National Bank, 15 Fed. Bep., 428.
15. And where an association receives United States bonds of one class for the
purpose of having them converted into bonds of another class, it is not a
mere mandatary, but is responsible for the failure to deliver the bonds on
demand. Leach v. Hale, 31 Iowa, 69.
16. An insolvent was cashier of a bank, to which he was largely indebted, and
put certain of his own securities in a package, and placed it with similar
bundles left with the bank as special deposits for safe keeping. It

SPECIAL DEPOSITS—Continued.
was insolvent's intention in this manner to pay certain drafts securing
his indebtedness to the bank, and these drafts were entered on the books
as paid, and the item of bonds of the bank was increased to the extent of
the value of these securities. The securities were not indorsed by insolvent, and the other officers of the bank had no knowledge of the transactions: Held, That no property in the securities was transferred to the
bank. Witters v. Sowles et al., 33 Fed. Rep., 542.
17. A national-bank president, against whom an indictment was pending for violating the banking laws, brought a bill against the receiver of the bank
to obtain possession of a trunk alleged to contain private papers. To this
proceeding the United States district attorney was made a party defendant on his own petition, for the purpose of claiming the papers, in order
that they might be laid before the grand j ury. After hearing, a decree was
made appointing a special master to make a private examination of the
trunk, with directions to turn over to the complainant any papers belong• ing to him, and to the receiver such papers as belonged to the bank and
were not material to the prosecution against the president, and to reserve
for further consideration such us concerned bank transactions, and were"
material to the prosecution: Held, That in so far as the decree directed
papers to be turned over to the president and the receiver, it was final and
appealable, since such papers might thus pass entirely beyond control of
the other party claiming them. Potter v. Beal et al., 50 Fed. Rep., 800.
18. It was improper to make the district attorney a party defendant for the purpose of procuring the papers to be laid before the grand jury. The proper
course was for him to obtain a subpoena duces tecum from the court in
which the investigation was pending, and then to make summary application to the court which had impounded the papers. Ib.
19. Under the circumstances, the order made by the court for an examination of
the papers by a special master was in violation of the fundamental and
constitutional rights of the litigants as to the method of trial. //;.
20. It appearing that before the bill was brought the trunk had been opened by
consent of the president of the bank and the receiver, and certain papers
taken out in the presence of third persons, one of whoin thereby obtained
some knowledge of its contents, it was in the power of the court to ascertain by private examination the nature of the evidence thus to be had, and
if it proved prima facie admissible, to allow public testimony thereof to
be given. Ib.
21. To constitute an equitable assignment of property, there must be an .appropriation or separation, and the mere intent to appropriate is not sufficient.
Putnam Savings Bank v. Beal, 54 Fed. Rep., 577.
22. Plaintiff bought of a bank $25,000 of five-year city of Duluth bonds and
paid the $25,000. The bank, not having in its possession enough of the
five-year bonds, proposed to set aside $17,000 five-year bonds and $8,000
one-year bonds, and to exchange the latter for five-year bonds as soon as
received. A clerk was directed to make a package of such bonds, and
mark it with plaintiff's name, and set it aside as his property, and the
officers of the bank supposed this had been done. When defendant, as
receiver, took possession of the bank, there were found two packages of
bonds. The first package contained $18,500 five-year bonds, with a slip
of paper on which was written a memorandum, " Property of Putnam
Ct. Sav. Bank; 6,500 more due them five year bonds." The second package contained bonds amounting to $23,611.50, of which three, amounting
to $10,255.90, had one year to run; six, amounting to $2,280.81, had
five years to run; the remaining bonds running two, three, and four years.
With this package was a slip of paper on which was written a memorandum of the date, amount of bonds, and the time when due, and also
the words, u6,500 due Putnam.'' Held, That these facts did not show an
equitable assignment by the bank to the plaintiff of the remaining $6,500
worth of bonds. Ib.
23. Where a national bank was broken into by burglars, and property belonging to it and to others was taken therefrom, the bank may take measures
to recover its own; and it may lawfully undertake to act also for others
thus jointly concerned with itself; and want of proper diligence, skill,
and care in the performance of such an undertaking would render it liable
to respond in damages for failure. Wylie v. Northampton National Bank,
119 U. S., 361; 3 N. B. C, 1S8.
24. Gratuitous bailees of another's property are not responsible for its loss unless
guilty of gross negligence in its keeping; and whether that negligence
existed is a question of fact for the jury to determine or to be determined,
by the court where a jury is waived. Preston v. Prather, 137 U. S., 604.

25. Tho reasonable care which a. bailee of another's property intrusted to him
for safe keeping Avitlioi.it reward must take varies with the nature, value,
and situation of the property and the bearing of surrounding circumstances on its security. Ib.
26. Persons depositing Araluable articles with banks for safe keeping without
reward have a right to expect that such measures will be taken as will
ordinarily secure them from burglars outside and from thieA^es within;
that whenever ground for suspicion arises an examination will be made to
see that they have not been abstracted or tampered with; that competent
men, both as to ability and integrity, for the discharge of these duties will
be employed, and that they Avill be removed whenever found wanting in
either of these particulars. Ib.
27. In this case persons engaged in business as bankers received for safe keeping
a parcel containing bonds, Avhich was put in their vaults. They were
notified tln>t their assistant cashier, who had free access to the vaults
where the 1 onds were deposited, and who Avas a person of scant means,
was engaged in speculations in stocks. They made no examination as to
the securities deposited with them, and did not remove the cashier. He
stole the bonds so deposited: Held, That the bankers were guilty of gross
negligence, and Avere liable to the owner of the bonds for their value at the
time they were stolen. Ib.
28. When bonds originally deposited with a bank for safe keeping are by agreement of the bailor and bailee made a standing security for the payment of
loans to be made by the bank to the owner of the bonds, the bailee becomes
bound to give such care to them as a prudent owner would extend to his
own property of a similar kind. Ib.
TAXATION :
1. A State can not tax the capital stock of a national bank as such. The tax
must be assessed upon the shares of the different stockholders. Collins v.
Chicago, 4 Bus., 472.
2. Under Rev. St., sec. 5219, which declares that nothing in the nationalbanking act shall prevent all the shaves of stock of a national bank from
being included in the assessment of the personal property of the owners
of such shares, an assessment of the entire stock of a national bank in
solldo against the bank itself is invalid. National Bank of Virginia v. City
of Richmond et al., 42 Fed. Hep., 877.
3. The assessment of the entire capital stock of a national bank in solido against
the bank itself is invalid. The bank may pay the tax assessed upon the
shares of its different stockholders, and it Avill have a lien, thereon when
it pays such tax until the same is satisfied; but if for any cause the tax
levied upon the different
stockholders is not paid by the bank, the property of the indiAridual stockholders will be liable therefor. First National
Bank of LeoliY. Fisher, 45 Kans., 726.
4. The individual stockholders of a national bank are allowed the same deductions from the assessment against them upon their shares of stock as other
taxpayers in the 7State, owning moneyed capital, are allowed. Ib.
5. "Moneyed capital ' in Rev. St., sec. 5219, embraces capital employed in
national banks and that used by individuals in business for protit by use
of it as money, but does not include that in the hands of a corporation,
even if its business be such as to make its shares moneyed capital when
in the hands of individuals, or if it invests its capital in securities payable
in money. Mercantile Bank v. New York, 121 V. S., 138; Newark Bank Co.
v. Newark, Ih.y 163; TalbotY. Silver Bow County, Montana, 139 U. S., 438.
6. Laws, N. Y., ch. 596, sec. 3, which pi%0Arides that the stockholders in banks
anil trust companies organized under the authority of the State or of the
United States shall be assessed for the value of their shares of stock, but
which omits to provide for the taxation of the shares of stock in other
private corporations, does not contravene Rev. St., sec. 5219, which forbids
tbe taxation of shares of national banks at a greater rate than is assessed
on other "moneyed capital" in the hands of the individual citizen of the
State. Palmer v. McMahon, 133 U. S., 660; Central National Bankv. United
Stales, 137 U. 8., 355.
7. The shares of a national bank are taxable to the owners, and the bank is not
liable, primarily or as the agent of the shareholders, under the act of Congress or of the various laws of the State or Territory, for the payment of
a tax levied upon such shares ; but if such bank, through its proper officers,
voluntarily lists such shares as the property of the bank for taxation, and
the taxing officers of the State or Territory, in pursuance of such erroneous

listing, tax the same in the name of the bank, equity will not relieve the
bank from the payment of such tax by enjoining its collection in the absence
of proper application to all the statutory tribunals authorized to hear such
matter and determine and grant the proper relief. Albuquerque National
Bank v. Perea, 147 U. S., 87.
8. The entire interests of the shareholders may be taxed without any deduction
for that portion of the capital which is invested in United States securities.
Van Allen v. The Assessors, 3 Wall., 578.
9. New shares issued by a national-banking association can not be taxed until
the increase of capital has been approved by the Comptroller of the Currency. Charleston v. People's National Bank, 5 S. C.,123.
10. The manifest intention of the law is 1o permit the State in which a national
bank is located to tax, subject to the limitations prescribed, all the shares
of its capital stock without regard to their ownership; and, therefore, a
national bank may be taxed upon the shares which it holds m another
national bank. Bank of Redemption v. Boston, 126 U. S., 60.
11. The undivided surplus of a national-banking association, unless invested in
Federal securities, may be lawfully taxed by the State. North Ward
National Bank of Newark v. City of Newark, 10 Vroom., 380; First National
Bank v. Peterborough, 56 N. H., 38.
12. But, of course, if the surplus is taken into consideration in estimating the
taxable value of the shares, it is not to be taxed separately. North Ward
National Bank v. City of Newark, supra.
NOTE. —But it has been held in Maryland that the stock of an association represents its whole property, and where a tax is assessed upon the shares a
separate tax upon the real or personal estate amounts to double taxation;
and, therefore, where the organic laws of the State prohibit double taxation, such a tax upon the property of an
association is void. County
Commissioners v. Farmers and Mechanics1 National Bank, 48 Md., 117;
National State Bank v. Young, 25 Iowa, 311, wherein it was held that the
State^could tax only the shares eo nomine and the real estate.
13. The surplus fund of a national-banking association is not excluded in the
valuation of its shares for taxation. Stafford National Bank v. Dover, 59
N. B., 316.
14. Where shares of stock are assessed at their actual cash value, without any
deduction for the real estate owned by the association, ^he real estate
should not be taxed eo nomine. Commissioners of Rice County v. Citizens'
National Bank of Faribault, %3 Minn., 280.
15. Real estate owned by a bank constitutes part of its assets, within the meaning of Code of Mississippi providing that banks shall pay a privilege tax,
whoso amount varies with their " capital stock or assets," in lieu of all
other taxes. Ficksburg Bank v. Worrell, 7 So., 219.
16. The State can not tax the circulating notes of national-banking associations.
Home v. Greene, 25 Miss., 452; contra, Board of Commissioners v. Elsion,
82 Ind., 27; Muffin v. Board of Commissioners, 69 N. C, 498; Lily v. The
Commissioners, 69 N. C, 300.
17. Where the State banks are taxed upon the capital, no tax can be imposed
upon the shares of national-banking associations; for, as the capital of
the State banks may consist of the bond** of the United States, which are
exempt from State taxation, a tax on capital is not equivalent to a tax on
shares. Van Allen v. The Assessors, 3 Wall., 573; Bradley v. The People,
4 Wall., 459.
18. Bnt though the tax upon the State banks is not eo nomine a tax on shares,
yet if it is equivalent to such a tax the shares in the national-banking associations located in that State may be taxed. Frazer v. Seibern, 16 Ohio
St., 614; Van Slyke v. State, 23 Wis.) 656; Boynoll v. State, 25 Wis., 112.
19. Where by local legislation different rates are prescribed for different classes
of moneyed capital, the rate imposed upon shares of national banks should
approximate as closely as may be the rate imposed upon other moneyed
capital of the same or similar class, viz, shares of State banks. City
National Bank v. Paducah,5 Cent. L. J., 347; 1 N. B. C.,300.
20. Congress meant no more than to require of the States, as a condition to the
exercise of the power to tax the shares in national banks, that they should,
as far as they had the capacity, tax in like manner the shares of banks of
issue of their own creation. Lionberger v. Rouse, 9 Wall., 468.
21. Therefore, where a State has previously contracted with the banks which it
has chartered that they shall not be taxed above a certain rate, a tax
upon national-bank shares at a greater rate is not invalid, if this rate is
not greater than that assessed upon all the moneyed capital within the
State, except that of the State banks. Ib.
124
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
TAXATION—Continued.
22. Any system of assessment of taxes which exacts from the owner of the
shares of a national-banking association a larger sum in proportion to the
actual value of those shares than it does from other moneyed capital,
valued in like manner, taxes the shares at a greater rate, notwithstanding
that the percentage of tax on the valuation is the same as that applied to
other moneyed capital. Pelton v. Commercial National Bank, 101 U. S., 143.
23. In estimating the value of vthe shares for the purpose of taxation reference
may be had to all the property and values of the bank. St. Louis National
Bank v. Papin, 3 Cent. L. J., 669; 1 N. B. C, 326.
24. If no excessive valuation is complained of, and a correct result is arrived at,
equity will not restrain the collection of a tax because the method of
computation was erroneous. Ib.
25. The shares may be valued for taxation at an amount exceeding their face
value, if this amount is not at a greater rate than the valuation set upon
other moneyed capital in the State. Hepburn v. School Directors, 23 Wall.,
480.
26. Under the statute of New York, shares in national-banking associations should
be taxed at their real or market value. People v. The Commissioners of Taxes
and Assessments, 94 U. S., 415.
27. Where shares in national-banking associations are purposely valued proportionately higher than the other moneyed capital in the State, the assessment is void. Pelton v. National Bank, 101 U. S., 143.
28. And the collection of what is in excess of the rate imposed on the other
moneyed capital may be enjoined. Ib.
29. A State statute creating a system of taxation of banks which does not discriminate against national banks is not unconstitutional. Ib.; Davenport
Bank v. Davenport, 123 U. S.f 83.
30. Section 5219, Rev. St., does not require perfect equality between State and
national banks, but only a system of taxation which shall work no discrimination between them. Ib.
31. The inteution of Congress was that the rate of taxation of tfee shares should
be the same as, or not greater than, the tax upon the moneyed capital of
the individual citizen which is subject and liable to taxation. People v. The
Commissioners, 4 Wall., 244.
32. The fact that by the statutes creating them, which statutes were passed
prior to the national-banking law, State banks are entirely exempt from
taxation will not render a tax upon the shares of national-banking associations void. City of Richmond v. Scott, 48 hid., 568.
33. And a State tax upon shares in national-banking associations is not rendered
invalid by an exemption of the shares of other corporations the capital of
which consists of property required to be listed for taxation as such. Mclver
v. Robinsonf 53 Ala., 456.
34. Merely a partial exemption of other moneyed capital will not invalidate a
tax upon shares in national-banking associations. Hepburn v. School
Directors, 23 Wall., 480.
35. But though Congress did not contemplate that there should be an absolute
equality (which in the nature of things is impossible), yet it did intend
that there should be a substantial equality; and therefore if the exemptions in favor of other uioneyed capital are so palpable as to show that
there is a serious discrimination against capital invested in the shares of
national-banking associations, the tax will be declared unlawful. Boyer
v. Boyer, 113 U. S., 690.
36. A State law which does not permit a deduction to be made from the assessad
value of bank shares for all debts due by the holder thereof, while authorizing such a deduction to be made from the assessed value or moneyed
capital otherwise invested, is void. People ex rel. Williams v. Weaver, 100
U. S., 539, reversing S. C, 67. N. Y., 516, and overruling People v, Dolan,
36 N. Y., 59. '
37. In the assessment and taxation of shares of national-bank stock, the owners
thereof having no other credits or moneyed capital are entitled to deduct
their bona tide debts from the value of such shares of stock. Wasson v.
Bank, 8. N. E., 97.
38. Rev. St., sec. 5219, providing that shares of national-bank stock may be
taxed as a part of the personalty of the owner and that each State may
tax them in its own manner, except that the taxation shall not be at a
greater rate than is imposed on other " moneyed capital" owned by citizens of the State and that the shares of nonresidents shall only be taxed

only the shares of individual owners residing in the city are taxable, and
they must he taxed separately, in order that the owner may deduct from
their value the amount of his personal indebtedness, where the State laws
or municipal ordinances permit such deductions and require equality of
taxation. First National Bank of Richmond v. City of Richmond et al., 39
Fed. Rep., 309; Whitbeckv. Mercantile Bank, 127 U. S., 193.
39. The main purpose of Congress in fixing limits to State taxation on investments in the shares of national banks was to render it impossible for the
State in levying such a tax to create and foster an unequal and unfriendly competition by favoring institutions or individuals carrying on similar business and
operations and investments of a like character; and the language of the law
is to be read in the light of this policy. And therefore the exemption of
shares of stock in corporations the business of ivhich does not come into compeiiiion with that of the national bank (e. g., railroad companies, mining companies, manufacturing companies, and insurance companies) does not
invalidate a tax upon national-bank shares. Capital thus employed is not
"moneyed capital" within the meaning of the act of Congress. Mercantile Bank v. New York, 121 U. S., 138; Newark Bank Co. v. Newark, Ib., 163;
Bank of Redemption v. Boston, 125 Ib., GO.
40. The bonds of municipal corporations are not within the reason of the rule
established by Congress for the taxation of national banks. Central
National Bank v. United States, 137 U. S., 355.
41. Although deposits in savings banks constitute moneyed capital in the hands
of individuals within the terms of any definition which can be given of
that phrase, yet they are not within the meaning of the act of Congress in
such a sense as to require that, if they are exempted from taxation, shares
of stock in national banks must thereby also be exempted from taxation;
for it can not be supposed that savings banks come into any possible competition with national banks. Mercantile Banker. New York, 121 U. S., 138;
Newark Bank Co. v. Newark, Ib., 163; Bank of Redemption v. Boston, 125
Ib.,60.
42. Under act Louisiana, 1888, sec. 27, relating.to taxation of national-bank
shares, making no deduction for that part of the bank's property entering
into their value which consists of nontaxable State and national securities, which deduction may, under the act, be made by individuals, a tax
on national-bank shares violates Rev. St., sec. 5219, prohibiting the assessment of such shares at a greater rate than moneyed capital in the hands
of individual citizens; and it is immaterial that the same discrimination
is made against other corporations. Whitney National Bank v. Parker, 41
Fed. Rep., 402.
43. The taxation of national-bank shares by the statute of Indiana without permitting the owner of them to deduct from their assessed value the amount
of his bona fide indebtedness, as he may in the case of other investments
of moneyed capital, is a discrimination forbidden by the act of Congress.
Britton v. Fvansville National Bank, 105 U. S., 322.
44. Section 5219 prohibits an adverse discrimination by a local government in
the valuation of national-bank stock for assessments as compared with an

49. And where the tax on shares is payable by the association the collection of
the tax may be enforced by distraint of its property. First National
Bank v. Douglas County, 3 Dill., 330.
50. But where the tax laws of the State make the bank the mere agent for paying the tax on shares, and direct it to retain so much of the dividends as
will answer that purpose, other agents being required to pay taxes for
their principals only when they have under their control the property,
money, or credit of such principals, the bank can not be made liable unless

51. Act Louisiana, 1888, sec. 27, providing that shares in banks shall he
assessed to shareholders, but requiring the bank to pay taxes so assessed
and authorizing it to collect the same from the shareholders, imposes a
tax, not upon the bank, but upon its shares, as permitted by act of Congress providing that a State may determine the manner of taxing the
shares of national banks located in the State. Whitney National Bank v
Parker, 41 Fed. Rep., 402.

to the taxing officers of a State the books of the association showing the

several States according to their respective numbers/' Veazie Bank v.

to enjoin the collection of an illegal tax. Cummin g 8 v. National Bank, 101
U. S., 153; Peltonv. Commercial National Bank, 101 U. S., 143; Boyer v.
Boyer 113 U. S., 143.
59. The imposition of a tax upon the shares of the bank according to the Louisiana statute, which requires the bank to pay the tax and then look to the
dividends upon the shares and to the stockholders for reimbursement, is a
tax upon the bank itself. Citizens1 Bank of Louisiana v. Board of Assessors,
54 Fed. Rep., 73.
60. In 18^6 the State of Tennessee granted to the Bank of Commerce a charter
which provides that the bank "shall have a lien on the stock for debts
due it by the stockholders and shall pay to the State an annual tax of
one-half of one per cent on each share of capital stock, which shall be in
lieu of all other taxes:" Held, That this charter exempts from taxation
the property of the bank as well as the individual property of the shareholders in the corporate stock and its shares, and such construction is not
affected by the fact that the United States Supreme Court decided that
the charter tax was a tax on the shareholder only, and an exemption
therefore of the shareholder, since such decision does not exclude from the
exemption the corporation and its property. State of Tennessee et al. v.
Bank of Commerce et ah, 53 Fed. Rep., 735.
61. When the statute requires property to be assessed for taxation at#its cash
value, a bill to enjoin the collection of a tax solely on the ground that
the property of other persons is assessed below its cash value, can not be
maintained by a pers.on whose property is also assessed below that value.
Albuquerque National Bank v. Perea, 147 U. S., 87.
62. Massachusetts laws for taxation of national banks do not deny them the
equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Constitution, nor impose
an unequal tax in violation of the constitution of that State. Bank of
Redemption v. Boston, 125 U. S., 60.
63. If a bank by mistake declares a dividend or adds to its surplus when it is not
in condition to do so, such dividend is subject to taxation and the mistake
can not be corrected in action to recover the tax. Central National Bank
v. United States. 137 U. S., 355.

Whitbech v. Mercantile Batik, 127 U. IS., 193.
67. Act of 1864, "to provide a national currency," etc., subjects shares of banks
authorized by it to taxation by States, though part or whole of capital is
invested in national securities exempt from State taxation, and is constitutional. Van Allen v. Assessors, 3 Wall., 573.
68. New York act of 1865, subjecting shares of national banks to taxation, but
not providing that the tax should not exceed rate imposed on State banks, is
void, as there was no tax on shares of State banks—only on the capital. Ib.
69. Shares of stock in national banks are personal property, and the law creating them could give them a citus of their own, apart from owners, for purpose of taxation. This was done by act of 1864, sec. 41. Tap pan v. Merchants' National Bank, 19 Wall., 490.

Philadelphia, keptaclerk in that city who'reeeived deposits: Held, That
the bank did not become located in Philadelphia so as to be liable to taxation. National Slate Bank of Camden v. Pierce, 18 Albany Law Journal, 16;
2 N. B. C, 177.
76. The act of Congress of June, 1864, in relation to the taxation of national
bank*, does not curtail State power as to the subject of taxation, or cutoff
the right to except certain kinds of property if a legislature chooses to do
so. Its only object is to prevent unfriendly discrimination against national
banks. Adams v. Mayor, etc., of Nashville, 95 U. £., 19. 1 N. B. C, 148.

80. It is no ground for annulling an assessment on shares of bank stock under
acts 1890, No. 106, sec. 27, that the list of shareholders appears in a different part of the assessment book from where the amount is noted.
Castles v. City of New Orleans, 15 So., 199.

83. National banks are not liable to a privilege tax imposed by city ordinance
on occupations and business transactions, although "banks and banking"
are in terms included. National Bank of Chattanooga v. Mayor, 8 Heiskell,
814; IN, B. C.,903.
84. An assessment upon national-bank stocks is not violative of a constitutional
provision declaring that taxation shall be equal and uniform, though in
such assessment the owners of such stocks are denied the right to deduct
from the value of such shares the amount of capital invested by the bank

Nor is such an assessment for this reason in violation of the Federal statute. Ib.
Two banks, against whose stock illegal taxes have alike been separately
assessed, can not join in a suit to enjoin the collection. Jones v. Rushville
National Bank, 37 N. E., 338 ; Conzman v. First National Bank, Ib., 392.
Act March 6, 1891, p. 199, sec. 114, empowers the county board of review
to equalize valuations and correct lists, fixing true cash values, and,
after notice, equalizing values. Section 125 allows appeals to the State
board of tax commissioners, who shall have all the powers conferred
on county boards of review: Held, That the State board has not original
jurisdiction to fix assessments other than its express power over railroad
property. Ib.
Banks may sue to enjoin collection of an illegal tax assessed against them on
their stock. Ib.
Where the tax laws of a State deny to the holders of national-bank stock the
right to deduct from the value of their shares their bona fide indebtedness, while conferring this right upon other moneyed capital, an assessment upon national-bank stock will be void. Mercantile National Bank
v. Shields, 59 Fed. Hep., 952.
It is immaterial that such deductions are not allowed to the holder of stock
in railroad, insurance, and manufacturing corporations, since such stock
is not regarded as "moneyed capital." Ib.
Nonresident stockholders are entitled to the same deductions as resident
stockholders. Ib.
The tax laws of Ohio do not authorize the deduction from the value of
shares in a national bank, entered on the duplicate for taxation, of legal,
bona fide debts owing by the holder of such shares of stock. Niles v. Shaw,
50 Ohio St., 370; 34 N. E., 162.
A tax levied on the property of a national bank subsequent to its insolvency is subordinate to the rights of a receiver appointed after such
levy. Woodward v. Ellsworth, 4 Colo., 580; 2 N. B. C, 216.
No suit for the collection of a tax under State statutes imposed upon the
shares of stock of a national bank can be maintained against the receiver
of an insolvent national bank where the property represented by the
shares has disappeared; for, there being nothing from which the receiver
can be reimbursed, the tax will fall upon the assets of the bank, which
belong to its creditors, and thereby violate the rule that a State cannot
tax the capital stock of a national bank. City of Boston x.Beal, 51 Fed.
Rep., 306.
No suit can be maintained against the receiver of an insolvent national
bank where the property represented by the shares has disappeared, under
a statute which provides that shares of stock in all banks, State and
national, shall,be taxed to the owners thereof, to be paid in the first
instance by the bank itself, which for reimbursement shall have a lien
upon the shares and all the rights of the shareholders in the bank property. City of Boston \*. Beal, 55 Fed. Rep., 26.
The personal assets and personal property of an insolvent national bank in
the hands of a receiver appointed by the Comptroller of the Currency,

certificates of the United States, payable on demand and circulating or
intended to circulate as currency, and gold, silver, or other coin shall be
subject to taxation as money on hand or on deposit under the laws of any
State or Territory: Provided, That any such taxation shall be exercised
in the same manner and at the same rate that any such State or Territory
shall tax money or currency circulating as money within its jurisdiction.
SEC, 2. That" the provisions of this act shall not be deemed or held to
change existing laws in respect of the taxation of national-banking

TRANSFER OF STOCK: See Sliareholders; Assessments.
1. The transfer of shares in national-banking associations is not governed by
different rules from those which are ordinarily applied to the transfer of
shares in other corporate bodies. Johnson v. Laflin, 103 TJ. S., 800.
2. The entry of the transaction in the books of the association is required, not
for the translation of the title, but for the protection of the parties, and
others dealing with the association, and to enable it to know who are its
stockholders. Ib.
3. A shareholder in a. national bank, while it is a going concern, has the absolute right, in the absence of fraud, to make a bona tide and actual sale and
transfer of his shares at any time to any person capable in law of purchasing and holding the same, and of assuming tho transferor's liabilities
in respect thereto; and this right is not in such, cases subject to the control of tho directors or other stockholders. Johnson v. Laflin, 5 Dill., 65.
4. Under tho pretense of prescribing the manner thereof, an association can not
clog tho transfer with nseles3 restrictions. Ib.
5. When a shareholder, acting in good faith, delivers bis certificates of stock,
with a blank power of attorney for making the transfer, and receives the
purchase money, the sale is complete and the title passes. Ib.
6. A shareholder who disposes of his stock will continue to be liable thereon
until the transfer is noted on the books of the association. Bowdell v.
Farmers and Merchants' National Bank of Baltimore^ 2 N. B. C, 146.
7. Where a national-banking association purchases shares of its own stock, and
divides them among its directors, to whom the shares aro transferred upon
the stock books, the transaction is void, and no title passes. Meyers v.
Valley National Bank, IS National Bankruptcy Register, 34; 2 N. B. C., 156.
8. A national-banking association can not acquire a lien on the stock of a shareholder. And a by-law prohibiting a transfer until all liabilities of tho
shareholder to the association are discharged, or a provision to that effect
in the certificates of stock, is void. Bullardv. National Bank, IS Wall.,
589: Bank v. Larder, 11 Wall., 369; Conklin v. The Second National Bank,
45 N. Y., 655.
9. An intending purchaser of bank stock is entitled to rely upon a statement of
its president as to tho bank's condition without inquiring further. Merrill
v. Florida Land and Improvement Company, 60 Fed. Hep., 17.
10. In an equitable action to enforce specific performance of an agreement to sell
shares in a national bank, which tho purchaser wished to obtain for the
purpose of securing control of the bank: Held, That specific performance
would not be decreed (1) because, generally, equity will not enforce specific execution of a contract relating to personal chattels, and (2) because
a. decree enforcing tho agreement in question would bo against public
policy. Foil's Appeal, 21 Alb. L. J., 27; 2 N. B. C, 411.
11. Where a shareholder who lias sold his stock has delivered to tho bank the
certificate of stock and a power of attorney, with the request that tho transfer be made upon the books of the bank, and has had no reason to supposo
that such transfer was not made, ho will not, should the bank afterwards
become insolvent, be held liable as a shareholder, although ho still appears
as such on tho books of the bank. Whitney v. Butler, 118 TJ. S., 655.
12. But where tho president of the bank is himself the purchaser of the stock,
then tho delivery of tho certificates and power of attorney to him with tho
request to mako the transfer upon the books of tho bank would not be
sufficient to discharge the seller from liability as a stockholder. Richmond
v. Irons, 121 TJ. S.,27.
13. Where a shareholder of a national bank makes a bona iido sale of his stock
and goes with tho purchaser to the bank, indorses tho certificate, and
delivers it to tho cashier of the bank, with directions to make the transfer
on the books, he has done all that is incumbent upon him to dischargo his
liability, and he is not liable, though tho cashier failed to make the transfer, upon the subsequent suspension of the bank, for an assessment made
by the Comptroller of the Currency, under Rev. St., sec. 5151, to pay the
bank's debts. Hayes v. Shoemaker, 39 Fed. Rep., 319.

the understanding that in case of default in the payment of the loan the shares
shall be sold, the transferee, upon default made, and before the bank closes
its doors, may sell the stock for a nominal consideration, though his purpose be to avoid a personal liability; mid such a transaction can not be set
aside as a fraud upon the creditors of the association. Mar/ruder v. Coltson,
44Md.,349.
20. After a national bank has become insolvent and has closed its doors for
business, its shareholders'liability to creditors is so far iixed that any
transfer of their shares must beheld fraudulent and inoperative as against
the creditors of the bank. Irons, exyr, etc., et al. v. Manufacturers7 National
Bank et al., 17 Fed. Rep., SOS.
21. The rules which regulate the transfer of the stock of national banks are to
bo found in tke statutes of the United States. The national-banking act
prescribed no exclusive method of transfer, but authorizes every association to do so. Tlio decisions of the courts of the State in which the bank
may bo located do not control it. Scott et al. v PequonnocJc National Bank,
15 Fed. Hep., 494.
22. Precedence should-be given to unrecorded transfers of shares of stock of a
national bank, which had passed no by-law on the subject, located in a
State whose courts leaned strongly against such transfers, but whose
statutes gave the attaching creditor no peculiar rights, by delivery of certificates and a written assignment with power to transfer, both executed
in blank, over subsequent attachment of a creditor of the original vendor
in whoso name the shares still stood on the books of the bank. Ib.
23. Where no specified acts are by positive requirement made prerequisite to
the vesting of a valid new title, creditors without notice take their debtor's
property subject to all bona tido liens and equitable transfers. No registry being required, non-recording was not evidence of fraud. The tendency is to regard State certificates, attached to an executed blank assignment and power to transfer, as approximating to negotiable securities and
to favor atta* hing creditors less than when attachment and sale on execution alone could compel payment of a claim out of debtor's property. Federal courts have so decided. Ib.
24. The courts of Connecticut and Massachusetts have quite rigidly maintained
that Avhere a statute or charter prescribes an exclusive manner of transfer
of the stock of a corporation, an unrecorded transfer shall not be valid
against the cttaehing creditors of vendor; and the courts of the former
have strongly leaned toward a construction of the charters of its corporations compelling record of such transfers. Ib.
25. On December 30, 1875, A sold certain shares of bank stock to B, and assigned
them by a transfer written on the back of the certificate. By the bylaws of the bank, stock was transferable only on the books of the company. On December 14, 1878, the shares were attached by a judgment
creditor of A, and sold and transferred to C. Neither the bank nor the
creditor had knowledge of the transfer to B. In January, 1880, B presented
his certificate and transfer to the officers of the bank, and demanded a
transfer of the stock, which was refused, whereupon he brought suit
against the lank for such refusal: Held, That the bank was liable in
damages for the refusal to transfer the shares. Hazard v. National
Exchange Ban,:, of Newport, 26 Fed. Hep., 94.
26. The sale wliich sec. 5201, Rev. St., requires a national bank to make of its
stock is real md not fictitious. And where the president and cashier of
a national bank, which is the owner of some of its own stock, purchase
such stock ai d execute their note to the bank for the purchase money,
in a suit aganst them on the note by the receiver of such bank, they
are estopped to set up as a defense that their purchase of the stock was
unauthorized, or that their purchase was merely colorable, or to avoid
a forfeiture of the bank's chrrter, or for any other deceptive or illegal
purpose. Buhdy v. Jackson, 24 Fed. Hep., 628.

27. The sale by the president of a national bank to himself and the cashier of the
stock of the bank owned by the bank, may be ratified by the bank or its
legal representative; but a sale by himself to the bank of its own
stock, where he acts in the double capacity of seller and buyer, can not
be ratified when the purchase of the stock by the bank is not necessary to
prevent loss upon a debt previously contracted. In the one case the sale
of the stock is enjoined by law, and its sale by the president may be ratified, however irregular it may have been in the first instance; but the
purchase of its own stock by the bank is interdicted by law, and for this
act there can be no authorization in advance, and no ratification afterward. Ib.
28. The by-laws of a national bank provided that no transfer of the stock should
bo made by any shareholder who was indebted to the bank, and this provision was also included in the certificates of stock: Held, invalid, and
that a transfer of stock by a shareholder while indebted to the bank was
good. Evansville National Bank v. Metropolitan National Bank. 2 Bis sell.
527; 1 N. B. C, 189.
29. In the absence of any provision in the by-laws or articles of association of a
national bank to the contrary, such a bank is bound under the laws of
Pennsylvania to recognize a transfer of its stock by a foreign executor duly
appointed in another State. Hobbs v. Western National Bank, 8 Weekly
Notes of Cases, 131; 2 N. B. C, 187.
30. S, the president and active manager of a bank, sold a number of shares of its
capital stock to T under representation of fact relied upon by T and afterwards claimed by him to be fraudulent and false. The bank, by its
directors, had full and actual knowledge of such representations, and,
with such knowledge, consented and arranged that TJs notes given in
partial payment for said stock should be made directly to the bank, and
take the place of notes held by it against S and others: Held, That, in an
action by the bank against T on such notes, he might make the same
defense, founded on such alleged false and fraudulent representations, as
he could have made if the notes had been given to S, and the action
brought by him. National Bank of Dakota v. Taylor, 38 N. W., 297.
31. In such purchase of stock T had the right to rely solely upon the representations of fact by S, and if S, conscious that T was so relying, knowingly
deceived him, nothing would condone the wrong as between them, or estop
T from asserting it, but his acquiescence in it with knowledge of the
facts. 1b.
32. A party who thus deliberately deceives another to his prejudice can not
complain that the sufferer has not been vigilant in finding it out. Ib.
33. The right of such sufferer to rescind may be qualified by intervening interests of innocent parties; but so long as the question is between the original parties solely he may continue to rely on the representations upon
which the contract was made and by which it was induced, and loses no
rights, as against the wrongdoer himself, by failure to diligently discover
the fraud. Ib.
34. The fact that, soon after such purchase, T became, and for a number of
months was, the cashier of the bank would not alone, and as a matter of
law, make him chargeable with a knowledge of the condition of the bunk,
and so of the falsity of the representations under which he bought, as
against evidence that he was for a considerable portion of the time absent
from the bank and the city where it was located, and that during all his
connection with the bank he, by direction of S, the president, and the
person of whom he bought the stock, was engaged in routine work and
had practically nothing to do with the bills receivable of the bank. Ib.
35. The fact that, as cashier, he signed statements exhibiting the condition of
the bank would not, in an action on such notes by the bank or by S,
estop him from showing, as against them, that such statements, which he
believed at the time were true, were in fact-false. Ib.
36. B, having duly sold stock of a national bank of Louisiana pledged to him
by A, applied to the cashier to have it transferred on the bank books,
but the cashier refused, on the ground that A was indebted to the hank.
The bank having failed before the transfer could be enforced, B brought
an action of damages against the receiver: Held, (1) That the action was
not barred by the statute of limitations of one year; (2) the cashier having been intrusted by the directors with the duty of transferring the stock
of the bank, his refusal was imputable to the bank; (3) the court below
had power to order the receiver to pay the claim or certify it to the Comptroller. Case, Receiver, v. Citizens' Bank of Louisiana, 100 U. S., 446; 2

3. Where the provisions of the national-banking act prohibit certain acts by
banks or their officers, without imposing any penalty or forfeiture applicable to particular transactions which had been executed, their validity
can be questioned by the United States only and not by private parties.
Thompson v. St. Nicholas National Bank, 146 U. S., 240.
4. National banks can make no valid loan or discount on security of their
own stock unless necessary to prevent loss on debt previously contracted in good faith. Bank v. Lanier, 11 Wall., 360.

12. The national-banking act is an enabling act for associations organized under
it, and one can not rightfully exercise any powers except those expressly
granted, or such incidental powers as are necessary to carry on the business for which it was established. Ib.
13. That act does not give a national bank an absolute right to retain bonds
coming into its possession, by purchase, under a contract which it was
without legal authority to make. Although the bank is not bound to surrender possession of them until reimbursed the full amount due to it, and
may hold them as security for the return of the consideration paid, yet
when such amount is returned, or tendered back to it, and the return of
the bonds demanded, its authority to retain them no longer exists; and
from the time of such demand and its refusal to surrender the bonds to
the vendor or owner it becomes liable for their value upon grounds of
implied contract, apart from the original agreement under which it
obtained them. It could not rightfully hold them under or by virtue of
the contract, and at tbe same time refuse to comply with the terms of
purchase. Logan County National Bank v. Townsend, 139 U. S , 67.

interest was fixed by the law of a State a national bank might charge a rate
not exceeding 7 per cent per annum, and that if it charged more the

note less the entire interest received. But if such note be renewed, the
borrower paying the usurious interest out of his pocket, in advance, the
defendant may recoup, or recover in an independent action, double the
amount of the entire interest paid at the renewal. If, instead of paying
the usurious interest at each renewal, it be added to the principal and
included in the renewal notes, the bank can only recover the amount
originally paid to the borrower, i. e., the amount of the last of the renewal
notes less all interest included in it. National Bank of Madison v. Davis,
6 Cent. L. J., 106; 1 N. B. C, 350.

USURY—Continued.
In case of a claim of forfeiture against a. "bank for taking unlawful interest upon the discount of bills of exchange payable at another place, it
should appear affirmatively that the bank"~knowingly received or reserved
an amount in excess of the statutory rate of interest and tho current
exchange for sight drafts. Accordingly, where it was not shown what
the rate of exchange was, a charge of one-quarter of one per cent in addition to the statutory rate of interest would not bo sufficient to authorize
a forfeiture. Wheeler \. Union National'Bank of Pittsburg, 96 U. S., 785:
2 N. B. C.,9.
49. The receipt by a national bank of an usurious rate of interest upon the discount of a note works a forfeiture of such interest as would otherwise
have accrued after the maturity of the note. The First National Bank of
Uniontoicn v. Stanffer, 1 Fed, Hep., 187.
50. Section 5073, Rev. St.. relating to set-offs in bankruptcy proceedings, provides
that " i n all cases of mutual debts or mutual credits between the parties
the account between shall be stated, and one debt set off against the other,
and the balance only shall be allowed or paid; but no set-off shall be
allowed in favor of any debtors to the bankrupt of a claim in its nature
not provable against tho estate, or of a claim purchased by or transferred
to him after tho liiing of the petition: Held] That under this section a
judgment obtained by an assignee in bankruptcy, for a penalty incurred
by the violation of a State statute against usury, could not be set off against
a claim of the judgment debtor against the bankrupt estate. Wilson,
assignee, v. National Bank of Holla, 3 Fed. Hep., 391.
51. Interest in excess of the legal rate received by a national bank, although
taken in renewal of a series of notes, can not be applied: by way of set
off or payment in a suit upon the last of the series. Farmers and Mechanics'
Bank v. Hoagland, 7 Fed. Rep., 159.
52. In such case, however, the bank can not recover the illegal interest, although
such interest has been iinally incorporated in notes bearing legal rates. 1 b.
53. Neither can the bank recover any interest upon such renewal notes from the
date the interest has been reduced to the legal rate. Ib.
54. A provision in a promissory note " t o pay an attorney's fee of 10 per cent on
the amount due if suit is brought to enforce payment, for use of tho
attorney bringing the suit," is a stipulation for a penalty or forfeiture,
and tends to the oppression of the debtor; is a cover for usury, and is
without consideration and contrary to public policy, and void. Merchants'
Nat. Bank v. Serier it al., 14 Fed. Hep., 662.
55. Such a stipulation in a note discounted by a national bank is void for the
further reason that it is in excess of the powers of the bank, under its
charter. Ib.
56. Section 5198, Rev. St., makes the receiving or charging " a rate of interest
greater than is allowed," " a forfeiture of the entire interest." In case a
greater rate of iutcrest has been paid, the debtor may recover back " twice
the amount of interest thus paid." Hill v. National Bank of Bar re, 15 Fed.
Hep., 432.
57. The amount of penalty recoverable in an action against banks under sec.
5198, Rev. St., is twice the whole amount of the interest paid, and not
merely twice the amount paid in excess of the legal rate. Ib.
58. In an action against the First National Bank of Deadwood to recover illegal
interest paid it, the court holds: A Territorial law in force in certain
counties of the late Territory of Dakota, which provided that in those
counties " i t shall be lawful to take, receive, retain, and contract for any
rate (of interest) agreed on between the parties," allowed and tixed the
rate of interest by law in such counties or district, within the meaning of
sec. 5197, Rev. St., which provides that "any association may take,
receive, reserve, and charge on any loan * * * interest allowed by
the laws of the State, Territory, or District where the bank is located."
Guild v. First National Bank of Deadwood, 57 N. W., 499.
59. From February, 1881, when said Territorial law was enacted, until July 1,
1887, when the same was repealed, it was lawful for Territorial and private
banks and individuals to take, receive, retain, and contract for any rate
of interest agreed on between the parties, within the counties named in
the act, when there was an express contract in writing fixing the rate.
Therefore, it was lawful for a national bank in those counties to contract
in writing for any rate of interest agreed on between the parties. Ib.
60. Under the general law relating to interest in force in tho Territory after July
1, 1887, Territorial and private banks and individuals were allowed to
take, receive, retain, and contract for interest at the rate of 12 per cent

USURY—Continued.
per annum, and national banks were, therefore, allowed to take, receive,
and retain interest paid at the same rate; and it was not unlawful for such
national banks, under the national-banking act, to take, receive, and retain
interest paid at the rate of 12 per centum per annum, in the absence of an
express contract in writing therefor. Ib.
61. A complaint that alleges that the defendant "knowingly and usuriously
charged, took, received, and reserved from plaintiff, and that plaintiff
paid to defendant, for interest, * * * being at the rate of 24 per cent
per annum," giving time, amount, etc., states facts sufficient to constitute
a good cause of action for the recovery of such alleged illegal interest
under the national-banking act. Ib.
62. Under sec. 1851, Rev. St., one of the sections of tho organic act of the
Territory of Dakota, which provides "that the legislative power of the
Territory shall extend to all rightful subjects of legislation, not inconsistent with the Constitution and laws of the United States, the Territorial legislature was vested with general legislative power, restricted only
as prescribed in the act, and subject to tho power of Congress to disapprove its acts. Ib.
63. The act of Congress, approved July 30, 1886, providing that " t h e legislatures of the Territories of the United States shall not pass special or local
laws * * * regulating the interest on inoney/ ; was not retroactive, but
was applicable only to acts thereafter passed by a Territorial legislature,
and did not have the effect to invalidate the then existing interest law in
the counties mentioned in the provisions of the act of 1881. Ib.
64. The passage of the law of 1881 by the Territorial legislature, which provided
for a different rate of interest in certain counties of the Territory from
that allowed in other parts of tho Territory, was a valid exercise of the
legislative power, and was not in conflict with the organic act or the Constitution of the United States. Ib.
65. A law changing the rate of interest which can lawfully be taken, by reducing
such rate, does not affect express contracts in writing for interest at the
higher rate, made when the law allowing the higher rate was in force, when
such contract specifically provides that the interest at the rate specified in
the contract shall bo payable from the date of tho contract until the same
