THE GERMAN SAVINGS BANK

There was tried yesterday before Judge Van Brunt, holding Supreme Court, Circuit, a. suit brought by Williams J. Best, receiver of the German Savings Bank, against Nicholas Phil to recover upon bond and mortgage for $1,000 given by Mr. Phil to Mr. Ernest Hall, the attorney of the bank, and by him assigned to the bank and forming part of the bank's assets coming into the hands of the receiver. The defence was that the mortgage was without consideration, and that it was given by the defendant as trustee of the bank to help make up a deficiency on loans on Oswego and Midland Railroad stock accepted as collateral for such loans, and which meantime had greatly depreciated in value. It was stated that this deliciency amounted to $21,000, and that the trustees agreed among themsolves to make up the deficiency. It was stated turther that his deed was recorded without his knowledge or consent, and claimed that the loans on the ruilroad stock were contrary to statute and therefore void. Upon the testimony taken in this case-Mr. Frederick Smyth appearing for the receiver and Mr. Algernon S. Sullivan for the detendant-there was submitted a somewhat similar suit brought against George Schippel. In this case, however, the mortgage was assigned to Jacob Held, the president of the bank, as alleged, for good consideration.

stitution of this city, as well as of the National Trust Company. He received $125 a month for his services in the last-named institution and $1,000 a year was his salary in the other two institutions. The witness is the only clerk now employed by Mr. Best in the management of these trusts. After a recess, which was taken to allow Sergeant-at-Arma Corning to hunt up Mr. Best, who could not be subponned on Saturday, the receiver arrived and was put on the stand. He said that he was appointed by Judge Donohue as receiver of the National Trust Company on December 7, 1877. The appointment was made on the petition of several directors and stockholders of the company, who alleged that it was insoivent. About a year afterward he was again appointed under legal proceedings by the Attorney-General, but he could not remember the name of the Judge who issued the order. Recorder Smyth had been employed by him as counsel under the direction of the Court, but he had employed A. J. Vanderpoel in several instances. He could not say from recollection what sums he had paid for legal services, but all that had been paid was protected by orders of the Court. Between the time of his first and second appointment as receiver he had been paid 212 or per coat on his receipts and disbursements. The witness was appointed receiver of the Mechanics and Traders' Savings Institution by Judge Osborne in July, 1876, and receiver of the German Savings Bank by Judge Langdon in July or August, 1877. The depositors of the National Trust Company had been paid in full, but there was about $1,000,000 due to the stockholders. The amount which the stockholders would receive was dependent on the outcome of certain pending litigations. The witness did not think, however, that they would receive more than 10 per cent. He was now engaged in closing up the affairs of the company, but could not do so until these suits were settled. The committee adjourned until Saturday morning, when the examination of Receiver Best will be resumed. Chairman Kiernan will go to Albany to-day to induce the members of the cominittee who were not present at yesterday's session to come to New-York. There 18 a division of sentiment as to the advisability of the committee holding its sessions in this city or in Albany. Mr. Kiernan said yesterday that he would not, as chairman. hold any session except in New-York. Mr. Russell was also eniphatte in saying that he would not attend any except New-York sessions.
