Demurrers In Bank Cases Upheld In Hagerstown
The guaranty fund subscribers to the closed Hagerstown Bank and Trust Company won a second victory as two demurrers were sustained in separate opinions by Judges Wagaman and Robb. The cases, brought by Warren F. Sterling Banking Commissioner, involved agreements to fortify the bank’s capital during a banking crisis. One provision sought $750000 with a substitution for the existing guaranty fund and a June 10 1932 payment deadline, with subscriptions to be evidenced by notes if cash was lacking and a $760000 minimum total.

Interpretation of a cash availability condition in a funding agreement
The court examines whether the obligation to fund a bank with cash and notes totaling 750000 is a condition precedent. Judges Waraman and Robb agree demurrers should be sustained, implying the agreement must satisfy the cash availability requirement before binding subscribers. The opinions note uncertainty about prior guaranty funds and whether signatures or deliveries occurred before key dates.
