Bank Wins Verdict On Deposit Error
A Kanawha Valley bank won a verdict from a circuit court jury in a $1,000 suit by Thomas Durst of Charleston trading as Durst Market. Durst claimed the bank refused to credit him the full deposit made May 31, 1946, after a $7,161 entry was later corrected to 6,161. Defense said the discrepancy was found minutes after the depositor left and the teller halted service to notify the comptroller.
