Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>National Banks—Insolvency—Assessment of Stockholders— Liability. The decision by the comptroller of the currency that it is necessary to make a requisition on the stockholders to pay the debts of an insolvent national bank is not open to contest by the stockholders on the facts involved in the decision. The comptroller acts quasi-judicially and his determination can not be impeached in a receiver’s action to recover the assessment, except for want of jurisdiction, bad faith or other ground of equitable interference, and in such cases the specific facts authorizing relief must be pleaded with definiteness and certainty.</p>
