CRIMINAL Court, Justice Olin.—DIs0RDER- Ly House Case—The case of Amos Pratt, for keeping a disorderly house, on trial yes- terday when we went to press, was resamed this Morming, and witnesses for the defence examined. They cet up as a defence that the balle, &e, held there were legally authorized, And were not disorderly in their nature, and closed at @ reasonable hour of the night. After argument to the jury by Mr. Pratt for Bimself, and Carrington for prosecation, the Courtread the indictment fround by tue er8nd jury sgainst said Pratt, and explained in the eyes of the unreasonable hours and make such noises and disturbances as dis- Quiet the neighbornood. Every man has a Tight to & peaceable and quiet domicile, and that he should have; and no one has a right to set up and carry ch a place, much less Dave they @ right to lect together individa- is who will commit the nuisances described by witnesses here; one such transaction might be berne, but when it is the ordinary oceur- rence, then it must be stopped. If this house ‘was of such acharacter. and Pratt the pro} etor, and be knew these things occurred, he is responsible for it. If two or three dis- turbances bad happened and he was unable to Preven! tt, that would not necessarily consti. tute a disorderly heuse. But if males and te- males were accustomed to come there regularly and keep up these Performances, then in the eyes of the law he is the keeper of a disorderly house.

Section § of the ional Currency act defines these powers, wherein the National Banking Associations | are authorized to “exercise ynder this act all | such incidental powers as shall be necessary to carry on the business of banking by dis counting and negotiating promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange, and other evidences of debt; by receiving deposits; by buying and selling exchange, coin, and bullien: by loan- ing money on personal security: by obtaining, issuing, and circulating notes according to the provisions of this act A National Bank may exercise any or all of there privileges, but nothing more. It may be claimed thata bank may receive packages of valuable securities, plate or other things, for safe Keeping, under the power granted to’ re- ceive deposits.” But the term « deposi: bas a definite, well ascertained meaning. as es- tablished by custom, and authenticated by j 8] decisions, and is limited in the sense in which it is used here to deposits of money payable on demand. If it means anything More than this, it may include anything or everything. If it would include silver plate, it might include cotton or tobacco, which would be absurd. The practice to which you reter mR, inca nenees by this particular can it be sanctioned by the authority con- ferred to-exercise such incidental power as shall be necessary to carry on the business of bal Fy ing, &e.! 1 think not. The custody of valuables may be & convenience to the [irect- ol ‘tockholders, and customers of a Bank, but it is not im the slightest degree a necessary incident to the business of banking. But there is @ direct limitation to the scope of these inci- wers, in the language immediately following he grant, incidental powers neces- sary to carry on the business of banking by discounting promissory notes, &c. 1s the power to assume the c1 dy And safe-keeping of mis- cellaneous valuables necessary to the discount of promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange, Xc.: init necessary in order to do any portion of 8 banking business. Evidently not. The prac- tice, then, rot beimg authorized by law, is pro- hibited. The enumeration of powers con- ferred includes the power to loan money on “personal security.” Nothing is said about joaning money on real estate, nevertheless it is just as directly prohibited as though it had been done in so many words. The rule then, is that a bank can exercise only such powers &s are expressly granted, and that a power not granted is specifically prohibited. In this view of the case. I have no hesitation in saying that. in my judgment, it is a direct trans- gression of the provisions of the National Currency Act for a National Bank to assume tae custody and safe-keep- ing of miscellaneous valuables. It is dangerous to the bank. and in the nature ofa fraud upon the stockholders. Ifthe val- uables are Icet through the carelessness or dis- honesty of a bank officer or clerk, the officers are undoubtedly liable; and if the practice has been sanctioned by the board of directors, they ‘Will be held liable; and as they are the agents Of the stcckholders in the affairs of the bank, I cio not question bur that the stock- holders would im the end be required to make good the resulting los 1 think te cusiom a very hazardons on and shall do all in my power to discourage 4nd, under certain circumstances, might be compelled tc proceed against a bank for a vio- lation of its charter, a course which 1! hope be avoided by voluntary action on the part of the banks.
