IMPORTANT LEGAL DEcls,ov.--Tn the
case Of the Common wealth vs.. McAlliss
ter aud Hess, recently carried 10 the Sus
preme Court OF P.nnsyls snia on . writ
Of error to the Common Pleas ofLancass
ter. county, il was decided that "when
an administrator or trustee derosites
funds in hin own name I'm bank or saw
ings institution which fails. the los o shall
fall upon, him and not, upon the cestuis
que trust" The court held that '9he
liability of an administrator or trustee
for funds lost by The failrre of The bank
or institution in which they have been
deposited does not depend upon ihe good
faith, or prudence, or judgment with
which he may have acted. nor upon the
fact that he has deposited his funds in
the sane place. He is personally res.
ponsible for the loss Of the money dePo.
sited in bis name, because he did not
make the deposiie as adminitrstor OF
