with no hope of ever regaining solvency,
and that the defendant directors Of the
bank we'll knew. or ought to have known
That the bank was defunct.
: The main theory Of the case is that the
directors of a bank are in charge of it,
and that deceit was practiced on the de-
pasitors when the directors permitted the
bank to remain open after it was insol-
vent; second, the statute makes it the
duty OF the directors to close bank at
once when It is insolvent, and they are
deemed by the law to know when it is
such, and, third, carelessness, reckless
ness and negligence on the part Of the di
rectc1s resulted in loss to the depositors.
All of the cases will probably come up
at the next term of the district court.
George A. Bangs Of this city represents
the depositors and Cochrane & Corliss
and Tracey r. Bangs the dewendants.
