A BANK sTocKHoLDER IN COURT.

Yesterday in the United States District Court,
before Judge Blatchford, the OF ALBION P. Man,
receiver OF the Eighth National Bank Of this city,
vs. Timothy NJ. Cheeseman, was brought on for
trial. This bank was organized under the National
Banking act Of 1854, and 1t suspended payment in
December, 1871. The defendant, DR.. Cheeseman,
was holder OF ffty shares Of stock at 500 each.
There Is provision in the act that, IN case OF the
failure OF a national bank, each Of the sharehold.
ers should be liable to pay toward Its indebted
ness double the amount Of the shares held by
them. The debts OF the bank which it was found
necessary to pay in this manner amounted to about
$15o,00o, and accordingly DR.. Cheeseman was as
sessed at Hfly.lour per cent on the amount Of hts
shares, and this would make his Indebtedness

Issued to him on the Sd OF June, 1854, two certif
and No So for twenty-five shares; the shares were
delivered to him; that stock was never afterward
transferred on the books,
The defence was that at the time the bank
falled the defendant was not q shareholder. The
defendant having been examined, 1t appeared
that transfer OF tnis STOCK was signed In blank,
and that the bank. out Of its own money bought In
the stock. The point was raised by the painti
that that was not a proper transfer, because
the law prohibited banks from buying In their own
stock. Counsel insisted that before the defendant
could get rid of his stock Ii must pe sold TO some
body who had legal right to stand tn his place as
Q stOckholder.
Judge Blatchford, at some length, reviewed the
statutes bearing npon the question at issue. He
did not attach blame to any OF the parties In the
case, as all appeared to him to nave acted IN
doing an illegal act In buying in It's own stock-a
thing that was directly at variance with the law.
This was purely q question OF law, and he saw
nothing left for him but to direct verdict for the
plaintiff. The jury found verdict accordingly,
the amount being $3.50 rs. This verdict was ex-
cepted to by counsel Tor the defendant.
