83 Mo. 337 | Mo. | 1884
The Mastin Bank, doing business in Kansas City, Mo., kept an account with the Metropolitan National Bank in New York. The Mastin Bank failed and made an assignment to the plaintiff on August 3, 1878, and at the time of the assignment there was in the Metropolitan National Bank to the credit of the Mastin Bank $62,386.74. At the same time there were outstanding checks or drafts drawn against this fund
This case is not distinguishable in principle from that of Dickinson v. Coates, 79 Mo. 250, in which it was held that a check drawn for a part only of the drawer’s deposit, did not operate either at law or in equity as an assignment pro tanto of the deposit, or confer any lien
