32 Me. 572

Dickey v. Franklin Bank

Opinion of the Court

Shepley, C. J.,

orally.—The cashier had no author^ to receive the note for the bank, except by allowing it on the note A. This was not done, and it never became the property of the bank. The bank had the note in possession ; claimed to own it, and attempted to apply it to their own benefit by a set-off against a debt due from themselves. This constituted a conversion. Judgment for plaintiff.
