The criticisms of Judge Dallas for
ignoring Encouragement Olney's opin-

legal precedents binding on courts.
They may be supposed to state the law
correctly. but they have no binding

Letter in Philadelphia Press.
Probably the most critical comment that
is made is found in the suggestion that it
could be possible for a ~bookkeeper to main
tain for ten years a system OF classifying
accounts so that in that time a single de-
positor in the bank was able to draw out
as much as sS5O,000. Some surprise has been
expressed that this bank should have add
hered to an old-fashioned custom OF keep
ing the same bookkeeper upon the same set
of books year in and year out. In nearly
all Of the banks where there Is more than
one bookkeeper it is the custom to shift
them about from one set of ledgers 10
another, and, according TO common report,
