STILL IN THE RING,
Bullding and Loan Associations1,
Win Every Time,
Several very interesting decisions have
been Hied by Judge Dupuy in the circuit
court in regard to Building and :oau as?
sociations. One of these makes n ue\> ap?
plication of the doctrine Inid down in the
case ol Hunford vs McVeigh, as to
usury, and miotber holds that a lceal
beard does not always make a contract
subject to the laws of Virginia.
The opinion rendered in the case of .1.
M. Ware against the Bankers Loan and
Investment Company is regarded as most
important.
Tin- plaintiff subscribed for stock ami
borrowed money from the respective de?
fendant companies, and afterwards
brought suit alleging that their contracts
were usurious.
At a former'term the court held that
these coutracts should bo hold us to be
performed in Virginia, and the causes
were referred to a commissioner to ascer?
tain the amounts due from the parties
respectively. The reports are now in and
tie.- question before the court is as to the
proper application, or whether there has
lieen any application of certain payments
which it is conceded these parties have
made. Upon tills depends the amount ol
the liability of the said Ware & Hudson,
under the doctrine of the recent case of j
Munford "8. McVeigh. The opinion re?
cites t he facts in the case, and shows that
there is no contract as to the amount or
dates of the payments, but the question
is as to the application. On this (point
the court says:
"1 think the contract and "the laws of
? be two companies provide when and bow
these payments shall be applied. It
seems to me that the dttes were applied
directly towards the payment of the stock
subscribed, as they were paid into the
Company month bv month. The premium
and interest wjre turned Into a common
fund, and the^profits, if any, upon this
fund were applied at the end of each
quarter as payments on the stock. If the
turning Into the common fund of these
payments of premium and interest was
not per sc an application, then it seems
that the quarterly apportionment of the
profits of this fund, and the application
of such profits as payments upon the
stocks, will be regarded as an applica?
tion, anil to this latter view I prefer to
hold."

TRUST COMPANY DECISION.
Judge Whittle Sustains Commis?
sioner Payne's Report.
Jutlgu Dupuy yesterday oven I eg receiv?
ed the opinion of Judge s. G. Whittle on
the exceptions to the commissioner's re?
port of the Roanoke Trust Company. The
qnest'on as to whet her or not the Trust
Company had h right under their charter,
or.the laws of the lands, to hare preferred
creditors and the correct less of the com?
missioner's report in allowing such pre?
ferences was decided in favor of the pre?
ference.
On the question as to whether or not
deposits made on the two days prior to
the failure of the company were trust
funds and should have preference over
other deposits his ruling mis that they
should not have this preference and
should share equally with the other de
positoi s.
The ruling on the question as to
whether or not the Bettle G. Levi tax ae
count and C. A. Meli ugh, special deposi?
tor, should get their money or share
equally with the other depositors, was
that these accounts should Iks allowed.
In the matter of the exceptions of the
Hugerstowu Hank ami the Lynchburg
Trust Company relating to offsets, the
exceptiou was overruled
The ruling on the question of commis?
sions clalmod bv~L. II. Cocke, was that
he had n right-as to the city warrants,
bitt was not entitled to commissions on
bills payable.
lie further ruled that the amount, paid
by I.. II. Cocke trustee, toll. M. Darnall
for services rendered was correct .and
should be allowed.
The trustee is directed to pay out what
money he h is on hand as per instruction-,
laid down in the deed.of trust.
.Indue Whittle practically sustains
Commissioner Payne's report and the de?
cisions rendi red reflect much credit upon
the ability of Mr. Payne. A decree will
at once be prepared and, on Judge Whit?
tle's return, will be entered.
