Coknor, J.
"We find no error in the order of Judge Daniels, in this canse.
The effect of the order is to authorize and direct the Commissioner of Banks, in order that he may complete the liquidation of the Bank of Ayden, and file his final account as its statutory receiver, and thereby be discharged of all liability as such receiver, after paying all the costs and expenses of the liquidation, to declare a dividend out of the assets then remaining in his hands, ’ on the claims of all the creditors and depositors of said bank, without regard to the fact that some of said claims have not been proven and filed, and without regard to the further fact that some of said claims were proven and filed prior to, and others subsequent to the expiration of the time fixed by the notice for the presentation of claims. It is ordered, however, that these dividends shall not be paid to such creditors and depositors, but to the clerk of the Superior Court of Pitt County, who is directed to hold said dividends for a period of three months. During this period conflicting contentions of creditors and depositors may be heard and decided. At the expiration of the period of three months, if there shall be in the office of the clerk of the Superior Court any unclaimed dividends, the contention of the University of North Carolina, with respect to its rights to such dividends, under chapter 546, Public Laws, 1933, may be heard and decided. The order is
Affirmed.
