ADMIRALTY.

1. Jurisdiction of case involving salvage service to vessel in dry dock.
Salvage service, over which a court of admiralty has jurisdiction, may

arise from all perils which may encompass a vessel when on
waters within the admiralty jurisdiction of the United States,
and this includes services rendered to a vessel undergoing repairs
in dry dock and in danger of being destroyed by fire which origi-
nated on land. The Steamship Jefferson, 130.

2. Jurisdiction over vessel in dry dock.

A vessel used for navigation and commerce does not cease to be a

subject of admiralty jurisdiction because temporarily in a dry
dock without water actually flowing around her. Ib.

PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE, 1.

APPEAL AND ERROR.

1. Propriety of method of bringing up judgment of Supreme Court of
Philippine Islands.

Writ of error and not appeal is the proper method to bring up to this
court a judgment of the Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands
in cases affecting title to land in Court of Land Registration.
(Cariño v. Insular Government, 212 U. S. 449.) Tiglao v. Insular
Government, 410.

2. When writ of error actually brought.

A writ of error is not actually brought until filed in the court which
rendered the judgment, and the same rule is applicable to ap-
peals. (Credit Company v. Arkansas Central Railway, 128 U. S.
261.) Old Nick Williams Co. v. United States, 541.

3. Time for taking appeals from one Federal court to another.
The statutory time for taking appeals from one Federal court to
another is prescribed by act of Congress and must be calculated
accordingly; it cannot be extended by order of the court. Ib.

4. Delay in filing writ not excused by delay in settling bill of exceptions.
Assignment of errors does not require the previous settlement of the

bill of exceptions, and failure to file the writ within the statutory
time is not excused because there was delay on the part of the
trial judge in settling the bill. Ib.

5. Scope of review on writ of error where rights depend upon validity
of a deed under an act of Congress.

On a writ of error where the rights of the parties depend upon the

validity of a deed under an act of Congress this court is con-
fined to the question of validity under the statute and the effect
of the deed, if valid, upon the later rights and acquisitions of
the grantor is a matter of local law; and, in this case, the court
will not disturb the assumption of the state court that a settler
giving a valid deed before patent perfected the title and obtained
the patent on behalf of his grantee or else that the patent enured
to the benefit of the grantee. Sylvester v. Washington, 80.

BANKS AND BANKING.

Rio Grande

1. Securities; duty of bank to return on refusal to use as requested.
When a bank refuses to do the particular thing requested with securi-

ties delivered to it for that purpose only, it is its duty to return
the securities and no general lien in its favor attaches to them.
Hanover Bank v. Suddath, 110.

2. Lien of bank on securities deposited with it for a particular purpose.
The fact that a bank has in its possession securities which were sent

to it for a particular purpose and which it is its duty to return
to the sender, does not justify its retaining them for any other
purpose under a banker's agreement giving it a general lien on
all securities deposited by the sender. Ib.

3. Lien of bank on securities Construction of agreement.

A banker's agreement giving a general lien on securities deposited by
its correspondent will not be construed so as to give it a broad
meaning beyond its evident scope and in conflict with the precepts
of duty, good faith and confidence necessary for commercial
transactions; nor will a printed form prepared by the banker be
so extended by the construction of any ambiguous language. Ib.

4. Securities; retention for purpose other than that intended. Implied

consent.

In this case it was held that the retention by a bank of securities for
a purpose different from that for which they were sent by its
correspondent could not be predicated on the consent of the
latter, and that inaction of the correspondent could not be con-
strued as consent. Ib.

5. Right of bank to set off overdraft of bankrupt against paper sent it for
discount and wrongfully retained.
Where a bank, after refusing to discount paper sent to it by the
insolvent for that purpose, has retained the paper, it cannot,
as against general creditors, set off against that paper, or its
proceeds, the bankrupt's overdraft although made after such
refusal and pending the retention of the paper. Hanover Bank
v. Suddath (No. 2), 122.
