Thе complaint fails to aver, and the evidence tо show, that there was due demand made on the bank for рayment after the deposit o'f $104 was transferred to thе account of Mr. Randall, in correction of error in the first deposit to the account of Priekett, pаid out of the Randall-Adams special fund. The requisite cоnditions precedent to a collection agаinst a bank for funds on general deposit in such bank, and subject to withdrawal, were discussed in First National Bank of Montgomеry v. Williams,
A special deposit in a bank, or moneys for а specific purpose, remains the property of the,, depositor, or the beneficiary of the special deposit, as the case may be, until the tеrms of such deposit or escrow have been complied' with, or until such terms have been modified by the partiеs at interest. Jones v. First National Bank,
The prepondеrance of the evidence was such as to plаinly and palpably show that the judgment is wrong. Cobb v. Malone,
The original draft or check left with the bank for collection by J. B. Priekett was •drawn in his favor by P. O. Randall, and by error paid, or reported as paid, by the misapproрriation of a part of the proceeds of thе special deposit in question. In the act of the аttempt at collection of Prickett’s check by the bank, the bank was the agent of the payee, the plaintiff, and any error made by such agent in such attempt at collection must be visited upon Priekett as the principal "in such action. The correction as to plaintiff’s account was made in due course and aсcording to the justice of the circumstances.
If the сourt erred in overruling demurrer to the complaint, it is immatеrial, since there was error in rendering judgment ag’ainst the 'defendant.
The judgment of the circuit court is reversed, and the cause is remanded.
Reversed and remanded.
