In re City National Bank
Opinion of the Court
after stating the case as above reported, delivered the opinion of the court.
Application is now made for mandamus, and this is the. proper remedy, if the mandate of this court has been disregarded, but if not, the application for leave to file should be denied.
We are of opinion that whether or not the proceeds of the cattle were received and retained by the bank under such circumstances as to render it liable to Hunter & Co. for interest on their pro rata share, was a matter which was necessarily so far left at large by our former decree that we cannot hold that the mandate was disregarded by the decree rendered thereunder by the Circuit Court.
The Dawson note was held in trust for Hunter & Co. and the bank, payment to be worked out from the cattle through the agency of McCulloch, and when the bank terminated Mc-Culloch’s agency, took possession of the herd, and received the proceeds of the cattle from Ellis, it received the pro rata share of Hunter & Co. in trust for them, as the litigation
As to the costs, we are also clear that the action of the Circuit Court was not precluded by the former decision.
Leave to file the petition must, therefore, be
Denied.
