NEW YORK, May 3.-The First Ma
tional Bank of Lyons, Iowa, has just re-
ceived a verdict for $50, 200 against the
Ocean National Bank of New York.
Three trials were had. Both sides have
been represented by a large array of coun-

in June, 1869, securities belonging to the
Lyons bank were lost; hence the suit.

the Ocean bank was guilty of gross nsg-
ligence, plaintiff could recover. This is the
first case of precisely this character which
has been tried in this country or Eng
land, and is considered Of crest impor-
tance to banks, bankers and lawyers.

legislated out of offics is absurd.
