Anderson. receiver. against Kissam. Whitney h
Co.. stock brokers. OF New York city-was de-
cided by the Supreme Court to-day in an opin-
Ion delivered by Justice Brewer. In this case
suit was brought by Anderson against the
defendants on the ground that A. s. Warner.
cashier OF tho bank. and its actual manager.
wrongfully withdrew the funds OF the bank
for personal speculation in stocks. and that
defendants knew they were thus Withdrawn.
The defendants pleaded that most OF the money
received from Warner had been returned to
the bank. The transactions between warner
and Nissan. Whitney 4 Co. were conducted
through the Third National Bank OF New York.

size Of the account and the form OF the checks.
the defendants must have known TINT he was
using the funds OF the bank for his private

ter Of law that defendants were not entitled to
credit for the moneys deposited in the Third
National Bank to the credit Of the Albion
Bank. on the principle Tint when one has
taken the property OF another. damages are
not mitigated by showing merely that the
wrongdoer returned the property without the
consent Of the owner or applied 1t upon the
owners debts.
I've think this principle. says Justice
Brewer does not contro! in this case. The
money was placed where it was before 1t was
taken In the possession and under the con-
troll OF tho Albion Bank. II IL be said that no
officer OF the Albion Bank and no one con-
nccted with 1t knew Of these deposits except
Warner. the wrongdoer. the reply IL that the
other officers and directors OF tho Albion Bank
were chargenble with knowledge OF these mat

for which the Albion Bank and not the defend,
they. Nissan; Whitnsy = c., deposited the
formed tho Albion Bank that 1t received and
held these moneys. 1t will not do to say that
tho bank can ignore the negligence OF all its
officers and profit by their omissi Of duty.
