Description

The Citizens National Bank of Ortonville, Minn., having become insolvent, was taken over by the Comptroller of the Currency December 23, 1926, and one William Ryder was appointed receiver. Ryder served as receiver until April 1, 1929, when he was succeeded by Carl M. Andresen. Andresen, as receiver, and the bank are the appellees. The appellant, a stockholder and director of the bank, had certain claims against the bank, which had been allowed and on which dividends had been declared. These dividends had been retained by the receiver. It was contended by the receiver that the appellant had entered into an agreement of settlement with the receiver by the terms of which he surrendered his claims in consideration of a covenant not to sue him on his liability as a director. It had been asserted by the receiver that the directors, including the appellant, by negligence in the discharge of their official duties, had caused the bank a loss in the amount of $123,691.55 and that they were jointly and severally liable therefor. Appellant brought the present action to enforce his claims in so far as dividends had been declared and to require the receiver to pay him such further dividends as might be declared. The defense was the alleged settlement. The trial court found for the appellees, decreed they were the lawful owners of dividends declared and to be declared on appellants claims, and dismissed appellants bill.
