Menard v. Cox
Menard v. Cox
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
The plaintiff alleges that one Potts, obtained a loan from the bank, of which the former was cashier, for one thousand five hundred dollars, which was paid over to the defendant
The defendant pleaded the general denial, and the issue between the parties, was tried by a jury, whose verdict was in favor of the plaintiff and the defendant appealed.
The allegations in the plaintiff’s petition, are fully proved by evidence received without exception, in the District Court, The record furnishes no point, on which the deferidant could reasonably hope to obtain a reversal of the judgment in this court. It is, however, contended by the counsel for the appellant, that the sum claimed, was paid out of the funds of the bank, of which the plaintiff was cashier, and that it, was in fact an overdraft, which the cashier cannot recover, without first showing that he has been rendered responsible to the bank. But there is no evidence that the money was paid out of the funds of the bank; on the contrary, it is shown that the plaintiff refused to pay the draft or check, and advanced the money to the defendant as a loan. We must presume that he advanced his own money, and that the transaction was wholly personal between the parties.
It is, therefore, ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the judgment of the District Court be affirmed, with ten per cent, damages and costs.
