Palmer v. Hood ex rel. Page Trust Co.
C. M. Palmer, J. H. Palmer, and M. v. Palmer, Trading and Doing Business as Palmer Stone Works v. Gurney P. Hood, Commissioner of Banks, on Relation of Page Trust Company.
Opinion of the Court
Pee OuRiAM.
Is a general depositor of funds in a bank, hopelessly insolvent at the time of making such deposits, entitled to a preference in the liquidation of said bank?
Preferences are usually created by statute or arise from the application of the trust fund theory.
In re Bank, 204 N. C., 143 , 167 S. E., 561 . While there is abundant authority for the position asserted by the plaintiffs, this Court has consistently held that a general deposit such as disclosed by the present record, does not create a preference. Although there may be slight variations of fact, the case of Mfg. Co. v. Hood, 204 N. C., 349 , 168 S. E., 523 , and Mfg. Co. v. Hood, ante, 324, are determinative in principle.
Affirmed.
Schenck, J., took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.
