Ramsey v. Adams

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Hopkins, J.:

These were actions to recover from the officers and directors of a defunct bank the amounts of several deposits, under-*677the statute which provides, among other things, that any officer or director of a bank who receives or assents to the reception of deposits by it when he knows it is insolvent or in a failing condition is liable therefor. (R. 'S. 9-163, 9-164.) The question of the constitutionality of this statute was considered in some of the same cases on a previous hearing. (Ramsey Petroleum Company v. Adams, 119 Kan. 844, 241 Pac. 433.)
