STATE BANKING LAW. It Is Fully Sustained by the Supreme Court. LANSING, Jan. 27.-In a unanimous opinion written by Justice Montgomery, the supreme court Friday affirmed the constitutionality of the general banking law of the state. The case was that of Edward J. Bissell. receiver of the Milford State bank, which failed in September, 1891, vs. Francis Heath, one of the stockholders of that institution. The constitutionality of the banking law was attacked on the following grounds: First, that the title is double; second, it attempts to confer upon the receiver the judicial power to adjudicate claims to be paid in the course of liquidation; third, that as applied to the present case, it impairs the obligations of contracts made by shareholders before its passage. by imposing a liability not before that time existing. The court considered all these objections at length. All were overruled, and the constitutionality of the law fully sustained.
