THE COURTS.
Heavy Verdict Against the st. Louis
Bridge Company.
BANKERS And BROKERS' ASSOCIATION
DR.. Crosby's Raid on the Excise
Law Violators.

heavy verdict was rendered yesterday in the
United States Circuit Court against the Illinois and
st. Louis Bridge Company, in suit brought by
Bailey Hascall to recover the amount due on nine
promissory notes. The verdict was for S265.4l1 W.
The complaint alleges that the 2lst of May 1874
the defendant made three pronlissory notes for
$29.s11 "a each. payable year from datc: also five
for $4,000 each and for $4,000, pay
able at the time and place. The
plaintiff alleges that upon the collateral
securities given for the first three notes
800 was realized and from the securities for the
other notes se7 800. Payment upon the notes was
refused Judgment was demanded for the sum of
S2O1 H. after deducting the amount of credits.
with interest on S23 800 from November a. 1874, at
per cent and on $59,333 at per cent from May
"a 1915, and upon $4,000 ut 10 per cent from May
"A. 1875. The answer set up general do
NAL and alleged by way Of counter claim
a conversion by the plaintiff or his as
siguor the Keystone Bridge Company, of
certain bonds pledged as security for payment OF
certain promissory notes given to the Keystone
Bridge Company. The answer admits that the notes
were given to the Keystone Bridge Company. and
claims that the five notes for $4,000 each were Sc
cured by 200 third mortgage bonds of the company.
the three for $40. 81 each by nine notes for $4,000
EACH and the other for $4,000 by fitty-one third
mortgage bonds and note for 80 900 1t further
claimed that when the notes were given au arbtra-
ton was agreed upon by which the liabilities to
such return should be made as the worth OF the
securities should exceed the value OF the work
done. The defendant claims that this arbitration
never had, and that on the 10th Of June. 1874.
the Keystone Bridge Company made pretended sale
S for the hn three of o. for greatly M
adequate consideration; that the 29th OF July,
1875, the Keystone Bridge Company made pre-.
mortgage bonds for $1,000 each for the
amount named credits in the complaint at a
time it was claimed when they worth S120OOO,
and that power given for this sale. and that
it was therefore. irregular and void. The note for
100000 Is was explained was to Andrew Carnegre as
apremium toward the earl completion of the bridge
This secured by fifty lone third mortgage bonds
and note for $4,000 dated January 16, 1874,
and payable in three years. The claims that
the keystone Bridge Company became the holder Of
these securities, and made the pretended sale
with the other securities without any power or
authority. The suit brought first in the SUI
preme Court in November 1875, and was transferred
to the United States Circuit Court early in 1876 By
order of Judge Shpman yesterday the jury returned
verdict for the full amount claimed.

BONNER INTERPRETATIONS.

decision given yesterday by Judge Van
Worst in the suit tried before him at Special Term
OF the Supreme Court, brought by Robert L. Cutting
receiver of the Bankers and Brokers' Association
against Thomas s. Maroe to $4,000 loaned to
him by the association. the facts of which have been
published II conclude" says Judge Van Worst.
after summarizing the facts ''that system Of man.
agement Of banking house in which such conduct
of its affairs permitted breach Of
duty and grossly negligent toward its deal
ers and persons having stocks and bonds
in its keeping. 1t does not appear that
the trustees took any SUBSTANTIAL oversight OF
the affairs Of the association or devised any measures
for the safe keeping of its property They did not
hold meetings, as required by the bylaws. II sum-
moned to attend they did not appear. No periodical
examination OF the securities appears to have been
made by any committee Ordinary circuIpspoction
and safeguards were not interposed for the protec
ton of the property of the association Of its de-
positors and dealers, and Bonners license to do
he chose without accountability seemed unlimited.
The legitimate outcome OF such license ruin to
Bonner and the association and loss to depostors
and stockholders. 1t is urged in behalf of the
citation and Bonner in justification OF the confidence
and power reposcd in him that he was, up his fail
urc, man OF good character. But 1t should not be
allowed to any man, good he may to be,
To be tempted with power and property in this way
The stock and property of the association readily
acquired the ament by which his appetite for
speculation was fed, and through which his ruin
probably fastened banking association with the
powers and privileges OF the one under consitera-
ton. is under duty to adopt rules and regulations
and to conduct its business that property in
trusted to its safe keeping should be reasonably pro-
teccd against misapplicaton by its servants and
agents An omission to adopt and enforce prudent
rules in this regard is failure of duty toward its
dealers and is bamable negligence" Judge Van
Worst. i'll conclusion holds that the association is
liable Tor the acts OF Bonner and gives Judgment
the defendant for the value OF his securities above
the amount of his loan to be payable out of any
assets the plaintiff may have in his possession as
