THE LAW OF DEPOSITS BY FRED W. Weitzel, LL. M., OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA BAR, ECONOMY PUBLISHING CO., PUBLISHERS, WASHINGTON, D. C. This volume is prepared for the special use of bankers and their assistants, the bank clerks, whose sincere. and active ambition to improve in efficiency never lags, but whose time is so much occupied with the duties crowded upon them that a general law course is impracticable, while the average law book is incomprehensible. It is hoped that business men will also find it useful. The author's purpose has been to make a clear statement of the principles governing the law of deposits, explain statutes and, where there is a conflict, indicate to the reader in each state the law in his jurisdiction or the better practice to follow in view of the conflict. Some cases are cited, a reading of which will be profitable; but a general annotation has been omitted, as it would confuse more than enlighten. Most cases cited will be found to be annotated in the reports, and in the National Reporter System the last case is a key to all earlier ones. While the writer has referred to the standard works on the law of banking, such as Morse, Zane, Bolles and others, he has based most of his statements herein on the decisions of the courts as found in the reports of the cases themselves. It is believed that the statements are fully sustained by the authorities. If the volume is found practical and useful by the banker the author will be more than satisfied. If the legal profession finds it reliable, he will feel well repaid for his labor. FRED W. WEITZEL. Washington, March 1, 1910. |
