PANIC. Supreme Court "f North Carolina. April '25, 1809. A DANK MAY APPLY DEPOSITS TO A DKI'.T iH'' AN INSOLVENT DE? POSITOR, WHETHER IT IS DUE Oil X<>T. DEPOSITS BY A SURVIVINO PAKT? NER MAY BE APPLIED TO A DEBT OK THE FIRM. DEPOSITS ON BE 11 ALK OK A FIRM CANNOT'BE APPLIED TO A DEBT OK A DECEASED PARTNER? NOR INDIVIDUAL DEPOSITS OK A PARTNER TO A DEBT OK THE PI KM, Thi:; ivna a Hull by plaintiff as sur? viving purtner i" recover a deposit. There was a Judgment for defendant and plaintiff appealed. Tin- court says: A Pauls lias tii.- right to apply the debt du.- by It for deposits to any in? debtedness by tit" de|M)sitor, in the sau:,' right, to the buntt. provided such indebtedness to the bank lias matured. Even if tin- ludchtc Iness t" the bank bad not mattired, if the depositor be? came Insolvent, tin' bank, by virtue of tbo right of equitable eset olf, may ap? ply tb" deposits witli it of such debtor to Iiis Indebtedness. Tie- money depos? ited by llodgln as surviving partner was kepi und. r the same heading in the bank's hooks, as before Hi-' death >>f Lunn, and was mereiy a contliiua tlou of tie- ..id lino of deposits. This! would inv' bceii equally true If the deposits, after the di ith of Lunn. had been mid" in tie- name of ''Hodgln, surviving partner." In cither event, the deposits were In behalf of Hi.- Urin, lind wer?, in the; sit lim right as the not" held by tlio batik i against said llrm; and on the Insolven? cy >.| too lit .a lb" bank had tbo right to apply the deposit ihnde by the sur? viving partner in behalf of the llrm to tin- Indebtedness of the llrm, whether in.-.tured ?.r no;. if tb.. surviving partner bad made lite deposit a spe eial deposit, or if there had I.n an ngrcetnent with the bank that these de? posits should inn be applied to the In? debtedness of the Mrni t" the batik, then the blink's right of set-off would have been lolled. Hut there was no evidence to that effect, 1: is true that deposits made by an executor or ad? ministrator in a bank cannot be ap? plied to the Indebtedness t.. the bank of the deceased. Bui thai is h cause the personal representative holds tie' funds of the estate for the paym.-nt of tie- debts In the order prescribed by statute, and th.-n pro rata In each class, which would bo disturbed jf x 1 ??- , bank could apply the fun,Is deposited by tl.xccutor or administrator to the Indebtedness due to it by tb" deceased, though the deposits at the death of the i.stator could be applied to any In? debtedness of his then duo. it is other? wise ns to tin- surviving partner who in. rely conlinues the business for the purpose ..f winding it up. and of whom the law .P i s n o require the application of the funds la bis hands :.. the debts in nny prescribed order. The bank had im i ,ht. however, to apply the deposits oil behalf of tbo llrm, wh -ther made during its cxislcn.r by the surviving i partner, to the indebtedness held by '.t ; ngninsl one of iho partners, ami it could make no difference that this was : the note of otic partner indorsed by the other. It was an iii.livbl.ual indebted? ness, i.ud partnership deposits could mo be applied to it. Though each pnrtner is severally responsible for the entire endebtedness of the Arm; ycit, notwithstanding that fact, the Individ? ual deposits of n partner rannot be ap- : piled to 'ho indebtedness or the flrnv to the lenk. Tb.- plaintiff Is entitled to recover the excess of the deposits ab..ve ib.- Indebtedness of the firm, with Intercept from date of demand. New trial. II?KE V. CITY OF ATLANTA. Supreme Court of Georgia. April 25. ISM. A VOLUNTARY PAYMENT TO A CITY OF AN ILLEGAL PAVING ASSESSMENT CANNOT BE RE? COVERED, EVEN IF PAID UNDER l-IK ?TEST. A PAYMENT'OF SUCH AN ASSESS? MENT MERELY Tii PREVENT A LEVY ON LAND IS Nur a PAY? MENT UNDER DURESS, AND IS VOLUNTARY, ESPECIALLY WHEN A COMPLETE LEGAL REMEDY' To PREVENT SUCH LEVY EN IS I S. This was-a petition to recover back from the city ,.f Atlant.; an Illegal pav? ing assessment which had been paid it under protest. There was a Judgment for the city and the plaintiff appealed. Th ? .- .ni t says: The court committed no error in sus? taining th-> defendant's demurrer. I; plainly appears from the allegations of the petition that the payment to the city marshal was. in a legal sense at least, pur.ly voluntary. That the money was paid under protest, and that, this fact was recited in the receipt MOTHHRS ! Mothers I a lint hath with Ctrri i i ill Soap, when followed by a single npplieation of Ccticcra ' lintment, the great ?'.in cure and puresl of emollients, ?all afford tlirm.iHt grateful and comforting relief in the *"TPrc.-t forms of itching, burning,and si-aly skill and S' a!p humors, rashes, and irrita tIons,ami point to a ipeody, permanent, and economl -ai cars when ail other remedies ar.d even the best physicians fall. ' fr:.i e.-r.<:(r.. uiihtiiorte: ivrmt niro huCii?. .c.oi'r?f(Cfi,Butabu'sLrfctaCtueJALintUan.trt.ai.%?, therefor, docs not. in 1or.i1 contempla? tion, render tho payment Involuntary. The plaintiffs had at hand an adequate remedy, and one of which they could easily have availed themselves for the purpose of avoiding payment and pre? venting a seizure and sale ot their pro? perty. Notwithstanding tho assurance given to their attorney at law by the deputy marshal that all proceedings In connection with this assessment had been stopped, the plaintiffs were them bcIv s subsequently notified by the marshal that tho collection of the as? sessment against them would be en? forced by levy, unless they made pay? ment within live days. U therefore plainly appears that there was no mis? placed confidence on their part, or any artifice, deception, or fraud pract l upon them: but, on the contrary, they acted with full knowledge of. or had ample opportunities for ascertaining, till the fa.-t.i. Nevertheless, upon earn? ing to Atlanta, the plaintiffs dal net even consult their attorney, but as? sumed, without investigation, that their legal remedies had been exhausted, and accordingly paid the assessment, if tin y had merely call, d upon their counsel, he would doubtless have promptly Informed them of the condi? tion of the pending litigation with re? spect to those paving assessments, and it would have been tie- work of but a few minutes to make them parties thereto, and thus effectually prevent any levy upon or sale their pro pi rty; or. if for any reason they did n?t choose to pursue this course, they could have waited until a levy was actually made, and then met tho same by an illegality, the execution h m: ab? solutely void. The conclusions above announced arc amply supported by authority. We ex? tract the following from IS Am. A- Kng. l.aw, 220: "A voluntary payment of an illegal tax cannot be recovered back; ami. if there is no mode of coiled ng the tax except by an ordinary pi ing at law or in equity, a payment will i.nsldercd voluntary, though made under protest." in a note upon the panic page we find the following: "An assessment for a municipal Improve? ment, if voluntarily paid, cannot he re? covered back, though the payment was made under protest, and ill" law au? thorizing the assessment was subse? quently adjudged unconstitutional. It seems, therefore, to be clearly settled that a payment is not made under com? pulsion or duress, bui will he treated as voluntary, unless the party making payment d..es si to prevent the imme? diate seizure ii'" his goods or the ar? rest of his person. It surely requires no argument to show tii.it a threatened levy upon land is neither the one nor tin- other. Furthermore, the doctrine appears to be that, if Hi" law affords t.? the person from whom the payment is exacted an Immediate and adequate remedy to resist payment, he cannot bo said to have act!'.I under compulsion if, neglecting to avail himself of such rem? edy, he elects to make the payment de? manded of him.

Justice Totnlin discharged the accused parties with the (statement that he wan not certain thai he would have been Justitiell in convicting them on the tes I tlmony of the prosecution alone, and upon hearing all the evidence, there was in his Judgment no ground what? ever to justify a conviction.
