BANK RECEIVER WINS JUDGMENT

Clerk of District Court Must Hand Over Deposit Securities, Cavanah Rules

Stephen Utter, clerk of the Ada county district court, must hand over to J. L. Eckerson, receiver of the Boise City National bank, securities held by him to secure certain deposits made by Utter.

This was decided in a ruling of Judge C. C. Cavanah in federal court filed Saturday.

Utter had deposited $18,968.52 with the bank, representing moneys held by him on behalf of certain litigants in court; alimony money; and fees and costs. He entered into an agreement with the bank whereby the officials posted bonds to secure this deposit. Eckerson maintained the agreement and deposit were illegal.

Judge Cavanah in his decision argued that except for the fees and costs, the money held by the clerk was not public funds; that the law forbade the posting of bonds to secure any put public funds within a certain classification; that, therefore, the agreement was illegal; and that Utter must turn over the securities to Eckerson, except sufficient to cover fees and costs on deposit.

In addition to the principals in the suit several of the litigants whose funds were thus tied up intervened to prevent return of the bonds.
