Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Criminal Act — Incapable of Ratification. The criminal act of a bank cashier in abstracting funds of his bank is not capable of ratification by a defrauded depositor to whose account the funds were charged.</p> <p>2. Bank Cashier — Making Wrongful Use of Depositors’ Money — Ratification by Depositor. The evidence examined, and held sufficient to sustain a verdict implying that a bank cashier was without authority to lend the funds of a depositor, and that the depositor did not ratify loans which he claimed he did make.</p>
