The bank held a note of Bradley Barlow's
for $40 600, endorsed by Bradley b. Small
lev and secured by the pledge of 100 shares
of stock. At maturity Mr.. Barlow failed
to come to time and Mr.. Smalley received
polite invitation to pay the note. He
promptly paid it and the bank thereupon
rendered him the 100 shares of stock held
as collateral. Mr.. Smalley, however, de-
clined it with thanks. He was very much
Obliged for the kindness, but really he
had no use whatever for the stock. So
the bank was compelled to keep it, and it
is now called upon to pay $4,000 therefor.
The following opinion in regard to the
liability of the banks is expressed by
CORRESPONDENT of the Messenger: an
whatever corporation or PERSONS name
the stock stands ON the books, that person
or corporation is liable; and the banks in
this State holding stock of the Vermont
National. recently assessed by order of the
comptroller, are working themselves more
injury than good 10y delaying the payment
thereof This assessment was cOntem-
plated Il year ago, but was put off to favor
the said banks In this connection, the
comptroller has lust informed the writer
that the banks will have those assess
mentS to pay. The stock was transferred
on the books and stands in their name,
rendering them liable its making no diff
ference who received the dividends"
