tain papers and a gold ring was left
at the bank, to be forwarded to DR..
Riggs, upon his leaving Grangeville

that the bank was given notification
of the value of the box was in the
statement Of Mrs. Riggs, wife of the
respondent in the action, in which she
testified before the. lower court, that
she fold the bank cashier receiving the
box it contained "papers and other

brought out that the value Of the ring
left in the box was $40, the box was
worth $3.50. and that the cost to re-
store the papers lost was 500. Upon
testimony, the court found that money
TO the amount of SOP in currency had
been left with the papers and ring, and
INDICTMENT was entered for the total
AGAINST the bank. The appeal was
made to the supreme court from TINS
