A BANKRUPTCY DECISION
In the Case of the Standard Granite Com
pany.

In the Case of the Standard Granite Com
pany.
The following rescript from the law court
is of interest in bankruptcy proceedings.
The case is from Hancock county, Albert
H. Lyman, IT,, in bankruptcy VS.. Belfast
National Bank. The rescript is by Justice
Strout.
The Standard Granite Company became
pecuniarily embarrassed, and was inSOlvent
on June 10, 1902 The Granite Company
sent to the defendant bank on that day a
circular stating that it could not meet its
obligations, that its property was under at
tachment and keeper in possession. On
June 20, 1902, a meeting of its creditors was
called for June %, and was then held, at
which the bank was represented. The COM
pany there stated its hope to pay 20 per
cent. A committee was then chosen to pro-
cure discharge of the attachments, if pos
sible, and to arrange for common law as
signment, and, failing in that, to commence
bankruptcy proceedings.
Since June 20, the Granite company had
ceased to be a going concern. and all its ef-
forts and that of the creditors had been to
| obtain an equal distribution of Its assets.
Pending these efforts it had $500 in cash,
which it deposited in defendant bank, to
! which it was largely indebted, but did not
intend it as payment to the bank, and 'did
intend that it should be held for its trustee
in bankruptcy when appointed though
no notice of this intention was given to
the bank.
Sept 20, 1902, the Granite company was
decreed bankrupt, and plaintiff is its trus-
tee.
Held, that all the circumstances satisfac-
torily show that this deposit was really in
trust for the creditors, and that the bank
had such knowledge and participation in
as trustee of the fund for the creditors gen.
orally, and cannot set off its debt of the
Granite Company against it. And that the
plaintiff, as trustee in bankruptcy, of the
Granite Company, is entitled to the fund
and can recover it in this action.
est from Dec. %, 1902, the date of demand.
