The Court below sustained a demurrer to tho bill, raising tho point that this per sonal or individual liability did not upply to tho in debtedness of n savings bunk to us depos tors, and averring that If it did the bill did not allege that the dobt claimed by the plaintiff waa contracted in excess ol tho amount ol capital slock, and also raising the question whether the liability or tho trustees was to all tho creditors or to each. It is here contended that the act sneaks of creditors generally, and hence It applies to depositor* as woll as others, und that It holds tho shareholders liable lo each creditor who may sue. H is also urged that the bill was gufllciently explicit. F. 1>, (Judy lor plaintiff lu error; W. p. Davidge lor de fendants. THH CIVIL RIGHTS ACT. Washington, Nov. 14, 1876.
