The Commercial Bank Case.

As regards the decision OF Chancellor
Staley, Monday, in the case of the
creditors of the late Commercial bank
against the published directors, we
understood that the creditors who
were effected by the decision holding
DR.. D. T. Boynton, G. w. Ross and
81. B. Heneg4r liable are Messrs. E.
g. Camp and II. r. Gibson, the Miller
brothers. of Greene county, and D.
Hart, of Campbell county. These
parties represent about $1,000
of the Indebtedness, and are
said to be the only creditors
who made oath that they made their
deposits on the strength of having
seen the above-named gentlemen pub
lished as directors of the bank.
Chancellor Staley was engaged yes
terday afternoon bearing argument in
another branch of the bank case. 1t
is that branch in which certain Of the
creditors seek to obtain possession OF
the late homestead of the president of
the bank, r. r. Bearden, deceased.
The properly lies north of the city
and is now owned and occupied by
Mr.. G.. Cullen.
