THE SUPREME COURT.
Decision in the Case OF Savannah Bank
and Trust Company We. H3rtridge.

and Trust Company We. H8rtridge.
The decision in the case Of the Savannah
Bank and Trust Company VS.. Hartridge,
handed down from the Supreme Court on
Tuesday, reverses the judgment OF the
City Court, from which the case was APP
pealed. The foot notes Of the decision are
as follows:
l. A contract between the cashier Of
bank and defendant in error, Hartridge,
whereby Hartridge was to buy railroad
etock for such cashier, was to give his
note to the bank for IL and deposit the
stock as collateral security for the pay
ment OF the same and the cashier was to
advance the money Of the bank to pay for
the stock, was contrary to the rules of
the bank, it amounted to misappropria-
ton of the banks funds for which both
the cashier and HartrIdge are liable. Code
section 3l51.
?. The knowledge of the cashier, in such
transaction, was not the knowledge of
the bank, and it was not bound thereby.
1t is not shown that the bank ever con-
scented to, acquiesced in. or ratified any
thing which the cashier and Hartridge
did, further than to hold the notes and
cOllaterals, as it had a right to do.
3. The verdict is wholly without evil
dence to sustain 1t.
See same case September term, 1885.
Judgment reversed.
