# TO REVIVE A COMMERCIAL BANK SUIT. Another lawsuit growing out of the failure of the Commercial Bank several years ago was brought to notice yesterday morning when C. Augustus Haviland, representing four of the bank's creditors, claiming in the aggregate $4,318 52, applied to Justice Gaynor, of the Supreme Court, for leave to revive the action of "the Citizens' Electric Illuminating Company for itself and in behalf of all the creditors of the Commercial Bank who desire to come in and join in the action against Receiver Dykeman and others." Counsel asked the Court that the order of discontinuance entered in the action be vacated so as to allow the many creditors of the bank an opportunity to present their claims against the bank. Frank Harvey Field, on behalf of the Electric Illuminating Company, stated that the claim of the company had been paid, and as no other party had come in to share the expenses of the action the company had the right to discontinue the action on its own motion. Mr. Haviland said that among the creditors who never appeared in the suit were the city of Brooklyn, for $5,446 81, and the county of Kings, for $5,066 06. Justice Gaynor took the papers and reserved his decision.
