Description
This case comes up on appeals by both parties; the defendants from an order striking out three defences and counterclaims; the plaintiff from an order granting a general inspection of books and papers in his possession. The plaintiff is the receiver of the First National Bank & Trust Company of Mamaroneck; the defendants are two of its shareholders; the action is to recover the full amount of their liability as such. The complaint alleged only that on the second of February, 1934, the Comptroller of the Currency declared that the bank was insolvent and appointed the plaintiff receiver; and that on the ninth of March of that year he determined that it was necessary to enforce the full liability of all shareholders. Then followed a statement of the number of shares held by each defendant and a prayer for judgment for the full amount. The answer denied everything in the complaint -- except that the defendants were holders of the shares alleged -- and set up three separate defences, pleaded both as such and as counterclaims. As the appeals come before us only on the pleadings, it is necessary to set out these pleas in some detail.
