Bank Directors Fight ByLaw Challenge Over Ledger Inspection
The case centers on whether directors must compare assets and liabilities by inspecting the depositors ledger. Pillsbury argues such inspection is absurd for merchants, needing an analytic audit. Judge Bingham questions how far directors should go, with Pillsbury insisting they rely on cashier figures and bank examiners. The defalcation of $310,000 by Coleman is described as beyond ordinary detection. Morse and Bunker prepared to continue defense for the directors Tuesday.
