1Opinion of the CourtBrown, J.
The plaintiff was a depositor with the Bank of Guilford, and on the 31st day of July, 1898, deposited with it $290 and took a receipt from the cashier therefor on one of the deposit slips of the bank. He has not been given credit for this deposit on his account with the bank and never has been credited with it, or had it paid to him in any settlement with the bank or in any other way. The bank failed, and on the third day of January 1899 a receiver was appointed to take charge of its assets, at the instance of a creditor in an action brought on behalf of himself and all other creditors.
