A case of great importance to stockbroker their customers, and bankers has been decided in the Court of Appeal. It is a common practice for brokers who want advances to deposit with the bank all the securities in their possession, whether belonging to, themselves or their cus tomers. In the case before the court the broker became bankrupt, and the question was, who should suffer, the customer of the Banke ? | Mr. Justice Kekewich decided in favour of the cus. tomers, that is to say that the Bank shall suffer the loss and this decision was now upheld, the court refusing to stay execution pending appeal to the House of Lords --Straits Times.
