THE BANK OE THE STATE. Opinion of Justice Willard. CHAMBERS SUPREME COURT, CHABLESTON. The State, ex r*L Attornev-General, vs. the Presi dent and Directors of the Bank: of tho State of South Carolina-Motion for Mandamus. Attorney General and D. T. Corbin for the motion; Hayne, Campbell & Simon?, opposed. STATEMENT OF THE CASE. Tho Attorney-General has, in behalf of the State, filed a sutrgestion, praying a writ of man? damus to issue to the respondents, cominan din ir them to deliver to the Governor the assets of the Bank of the State, in accordance with the provisions of the act of che Legislature, entitled "An act to close the operations of the Bank of the State of South Carolina," passed Septem? ber 15th, 1868. A mle to show cause has been granted, upon the return of which the respon? dents now appear to show cause for the dis? charge of the rule. The first objection of the respondents is to the sufficiency of suggestion to warrant the issuing of the writ. Respondents contend that they stand before the court as private cit? izens, and not as public officers, and that for that reason they are not amenable to the writ. They also contend that the subject matter of the controversy is one to which the writ is in? applicable. MANDAMOS LIES AGATNdT PUBLIC SERVANTS. The writ presupposes a duty to be performed in which the public are concerned; the respond? ent must, therefore, be a person capable ot performing such a duty. Though commonly issued to public officers, it equally extends to any person, official or otherwise, " vho may owe a public duty, and ia respec ; thereof stands in the relation ot a public servant. Chief Justice Marshall says, in Marbnry vs. Ma? dison (Curtis 384), "It is not by the-office of tbe person to whom the writ is directed, but by the nature of the thing to bo done that the propriety or impropriety of issuing a manda? mus is to bo determined." Blackstone (3 BL Com., 110) enum?rate s amoDg those to whom it issues "persons." It is not the design of the writ to draw to tho court the official powers of tho respondent so that the court can perform what he has neg? lected, but it acts personally uoon him, com? pelling, by personal pains and penalties, the performance of a neglected duty. It is as much a remedy against the person as an in? dictment and action at hw for official misfea? sance. It is unnecessary to consider whether tho president and directors aro, in a technical sense, public servants, although one branch of the Legislature so considered them; holding them to be officers "contemplated by the con? stitution as vacating the seat of any such member of the Legislature." (Resolution of House of Representatives, Saptember 15,1813, Bank Compln., p. 78.) MANDAMUS LIE? TO COMPEL PUBLIC DUTIES. The true question is whether the act re? quired to bo performed is one that may be compelled by mandamus. To establish a claim to the writ the State must establish prima facie a clear right to de? mand the performance of some act, and a cor? responding specific duty on the part of the re? spondent to perform the same imposed by law (Marbnry VB. Madison, 1 Carba, 381); in its na? ture ministerial and not depending on the dis? cretion of the respondent (United States vs. Kendall, 12 Cartis, 834), and that the pnblio are in some degree directly concerned in the performance of such duty; also, that perform? ance has been demanded and refused, and that no specific remedy exists for the enforcement thereof. (Eins vs. Barker, 3 Burr, 1261). Section 1 of the act of September 15, bot forth by the suggestion, deckres that "the Governor of the State is hereby authorized and required, for and on behalf of the State, to take posses? sion of all the real and personal estate, assets, choses in action, and books of accounts of the corporation known as the President and Direc? tors of the State Bank of South Carolina" "in whose hands soever found.' It alleges a de? mand on the part of the Governor ana a refusal of compliance on the part of respondents. It is conceded by the return that there is proper? ty of the description specified in the law in the hands of the respondents as officers of the bink. The requirements of the statute can? not be complied with unless such propers is delivered to the Governor, and hence it is contended by the Attorney-General that results by necessary implication of law a duty on the part of the respondents to per? form such act of the same obligation as if commanded in express taren?. Assuming that the respondents have no personal interest in tHe required act, but are to be regarded as standing ID the relation of public servants to the property claimed-and snob implication te ?nfc only jsi?on?ul?, but necessary to the attainment of the object of the statute-if the Governor bas a clear legal right to take the property, the withholding it is a wrong, the essence'of which, in the case of a public ser? vant, is the fuhne of official duty. Nor is it of importance that the respondents are not nam? ed in the statutes as the holders of the prop? erty, the language of the act, "in whosesoever hands found," being sufficiently descriptive to denote the persons who?eught to comply with its requirements. THE RESPONDENTS ABE PUBLIC SERVANTS. It remains, therefore, to inquire whether the respondents are amenable to the law in the character of public servants. The Bank of the State was created in 1812 as a corporation and body politic, to continue until 1835, and has been continued under sub? sequent statutes until tho present time. It was established "in the name and in behalf of the State." Its capital was a fund created from the resources of the State, guaranteed against deficiency by a pledge of the faith of the State. It was made a bank of loan, discount, issue and deposit. It could incur obligations, and had the largest powers to deal with property usually conferred upon banking companies. It could sue and bo sued, have a corporate seal, make by-laws, ' and gene? rally to do and execute all and singular such matters and things which to them it should appertain to d\* The president and directors were chosen toy the Legislature. The State from time to time increased the resources of the bank by deposit subject to its draft, but upon which it was authorized to bank. In ad? dition to this all public officers holding public monies was required to employ the bank as their place of safekeeping. The unexpended balance remaining in the Treasury of the State at the end of any fiscal y oar was placed to the credit of thc capital of the bank. The profits were in 1821 created a rand foi the redemption of the State six per cent, stocks. The Legislature from time to time passed laws oontrolliDg the institution, clearly ex? pressive of a relation more intimate than that which usually subsists between banking cor? porations and the legislative authority. It is obvious that the bank was created for the uso ot the State, a purely public purpose, and that the Sta'.e intended to retain, and"did in fact retain, over the institution the fullest control capable of being exercised over a corporate institution, a power that necessari? ly resulted from the cession to the State of a'l elements of pablic authority and those aDper taining to tue ownership of the stock of such .n institution. To the inteat of the imit of the constitutional authority c legislature, the officers of tho bank sound to execute the c juara rads and car he will or the legislative authority, eoth in its object and uses, and in the i oy which thoy were to bc attained, thc having entire "coutrol of the institution, icterizes it as a public servant, its o ?tanding in the sam3 relation. (Opini Story, J., 4 Wheat., 66?.) The fact that it could bind itself and sources by its contract and become amt to the jii'licial authority, does not alte viow of the case, for many public officer aess tho Bame degree of competency w changing their relations to the public ai itv. THE D?TT D? THIS CASE CAN BE ENFORC MA>I>AlIU8. Tho respond rats being pubhc servai between tbc State and themselves, tho July 6 created a drty to deliver to the G< or thc fund in question to the extent control they might have ovo.: it, and, fail do so, the State was entitled to a remi enforce the performance of 6uch a duty. That the act required was ministen left nothing to the discretion of thc res ents. results from tho absolute chane the command, as well as from the nat tho act itself. The act required is clearly and dist commanded as a specific duty in chic State is alone concerned, so far as can be er< d from the statute. The next question that arises is wi any other specific remedy than that by m mus has been provided. Thc statute in tion provides no remedy, and therefor question is to be governod by general p pies of law; for a case like the present m mus is a sp?cifie remedy devised for thi purposes ot meeting the want ot a general edy by action. It meets the very case a specific act ought to be performed t withheld, and where compensation in other form would not equally servo the i interest. 1 must, therefore, conclude that the rc has been well chosen, and proceed to tin sideration of the grounds that have urged as a bar to the present form of pr; ing. LIS PENSENS. The respondents sot up the pending of in equity in the Court of Chancery o State, in* which Dabney, Morgan lc Co complainants, and respondents and other defendants, in which the complainants as billholders of the bank and rest equi remedies against the assets of the bank; certain orders mado in euch suit, and coi that by reason thereof jurisdiction in this is ousted, both as it regards the fund in troversy and the respondents who have itt tody. It is neccssai y to examine the grouni which this claim rests. Dabney, Morgan & Co. filed their bi equity, in October, 1867, alleging that tho holders of bills issued by the honk; thai bank is insolvent; they seek a discovery account of the assets of tho bank, and i cree annul lin ;, as unconstitutional, an act c Legislature, massed in 1868, so far as the i assumes con .ix! over such assets, and to ate certain preferences in regard to the f prejudicial to complainants, and also tc poid out of the assets ot the bank, accor to the rights and priorities adjudged tc respective creditors having claims, lega equitable, thereon. They also ask an inj tura and receiver of the fund. The president and directors of tho bani made parties defendant to the original Thc At'orney-Genoral was afterwards, wttl consent, made a party in behalf of the State the purpose of validating the act of 1865, certain other creditors of the bank were wiso made parties defendant. Answers were interposed hy tho several fondants, that of the bank admitting its ii vency and upholdicg the preferences ere by the act of 1368. The Attorney-General wered in behalf of (he State, enforcing validity of the act of 1865. An order was made by consent. Marc 1868,whicn, by anticipation, directed that u the coming in of tho answers or the being taken pro conjesso for want of an ans the cause should stand referred to amaste take proofs. Directions were given for Master to advertise for the appearance of creditor j of the bank. The president ano rectors wore also ordered to account beforo Master for the "capital, property and assi in their hands or under their control, creditors of tho bank we.e enjoined from i 8ecuttng al law or in equity, except as par to such suit, and Ales?is. Furnian and Wari th : president and cashier, were enjoinod ft Eaying tho assets to tho creditors until earing. Instructions were Riven as to t rent expenses, and as to changing the fe of securities, and all parties woro allowed lc: to apply for additional orders. The case has not yet proceeded to a he ing. Does the pending ot this suit oust j arise1: et ion asserted in the present caso ? The general rule of law on this subjeel well stated in Coupling's Treatise, page S as follows : "Tho rule is thou that betwi courts of concurrent jurisdiction the co that first attains possession of thc controve: or of the property in disputo must bo allov to dispose of it finally without interference interruption from thi* co-ordina*o court. I well settled rulo is equally applicable botw< Courts of Equity and Common Law, and tween Courts of Common Liw; and it 1 been repeated y asserted and enforced by i Supreme Court between tho National and St Courts." The decisions of the Supremo Court of I United States are entitled to tho groat weight as bearing on thit: subject, even win not possessing conclusive authority, from t fact that the possession of F?deral author would naturally incline them to decide ti rule within the narrowest limits, with a vi to secure the largest efficiency within tho n essarily limited sphere of original Fedo al, ri8diction. Taylor vs. Carryl (.29 Howard, 583) is a str ing illustration of this rule, arisiug out o: conflict between tho United Stales Distr Court in Admiralty and a State Court acti under process of foreign attachment. T claim in admiralty was for seamen's wages; the State Court,' that of a general credil having nn lion upon the vessel, the subject controversy, except that obtained through t foreign attachment. It was strenuously oe tended that the case ol a libot for seamei irages in admiralty formed an exception to t general doctrine embraced iu the rule abo stated. The court, however, was of op.nl that the general rule as to co-ordina'.e jurisd tious was applicable to tho case, and sustain the authority of the State Court, which h first gained possession ot tho subject of t controversy. Thc cases in the Supreme Cou: depending on this principle were carefully co 8ideredin this case, and tho rulo vindicate substantially, as laid down in Conkliug's Ire ??se above ??tod. Campbell, J., delivering tl opinion of the court, cites approvingly tl authority of 3 Hare 472, to the proposition th the "Court of Chancery docs uot allow tl possession of its rocoiver, soquostrator, cot mittce or custodeo to bo disturbed by a part whether clai ning by titlo paran.r>uut, or und the right which they were appointed to pr tect." He contends that the possession the agent of the court is the possession of ti court. In Wi8wall vs. Sampson (14 Howard 52) judgment creditor endeavored to validate sale of real estate, made by tho United Stat Marshal, under a judgment of tho Unite States Circuit Ceurt, while the property was the hands of a receiver of the Court of Cha: eery. The court applied the rule in quostie to the case, holding that che Bale made by tl marshal was absolutely void. Nelson, J.,"he that the possession of the receiver was tt possession of the court, and points out tl method by which one claiming by superit title must intervene in Chancery in such case. So in Peake vs. Shipps (14 How., 368), it w: bold that an action could not ba brought i thc United States Circuit Court against tm tees appointed by a State Court t3 wind up th affairs of on insolvent corporation, thoy boin amonablo to tho court that appointed then which had authority to apply the assets to tb paymssat ot claims against the corporation. APPLICATION OF LIS PENDENS TO PBESENT CASI The application of this rule to tho preset: cuse involves thc following consideration! First, whether tho Court of "Chancery has ol tarneit the possession of thc subject matter c this controversy, or of the controversy itsel: and, second, whether the rule is applicable t a case in which the public authority seeks t compel, by mandamus, thc performance of strictly puolic act. In a strictly technical sense, the subjec matter uf this controversy is an act of a publi character, performance ol which is claimed ot public servaDt who withholds thu same; but a tho doing this act involves a certain contre over a specified fuud, it becomes necessary t know whether, consistently with tho rales o law, the act can be compelled in the manne that is proposed. What is then the situation of thn fund ? Hat it been placed in the hands of a receiver nt question could arise as to i's being in tin hands of tho court that appointed him. Is i any the less so in thc presout instance ? Tin court has assumed not only tho control of tht fund, but has actually entered npou its admin tran JD. It h.? protected it from waste by in junction. It ha? already, by anticipation, de? moted it to certain uses. It has tied up every aand that could intermeddle with it, and open id the door ot coutroversy to all making claims igainst it. Tho assets of the bank are no longer either capital or profits, but a fund in Bquity, as completely and actually as if in the hands of a receiver. " Tbe president and direc? tors, if not receivers, have their responsibili? ties, and, in the language above cited, are at least "custodeea." As it regards tbe fund, they aro but the hands of the Court of Chancery. But it is equally clour that tho Court ot Chan? cery has possession of tho controvorsv both as il regards tho questions at issue and the par? ties. '.OIN; State lias lutcrvcncd in the person of ita ittorney-General, and submitted its right to that c uri by answer. If that demand is too narrow it can be made larger; thc court is tound to respect and maiutain whatever claim thc Seato mav rightfully make upon the fund. The rights of tho State, aa they exist, under Act cf 18G8, are the same thal existed at the time it interposed its answer. It has ac? quired no new title or giant of authority in re? lation to the lund. It could have claimed by its answer unlimited ontrol over thc assets if it can do sono.v. It advances no claim that could not be considered by th it court, and it is to be presumed that tu?t court, deriving its powers from Hie constitution, will give due ef? fect to all rights, public and private. A plain? er case could not be conceived, for holding that so far as tho question of co-ordinate juris dictiou is involved, ihe right to proceed in ju dicature.hod private rights been alone concern? ed, rests with the Court of Chancery. RULE APPLICABLE TO CASE WHERE 6TATE IS PARTY. But can this rule be extended to a contest v.here the State claims, by the extraordinary remedy of mandamus the performance of an act ot a public nature, imposed by Ptatuto au? thority ? The" writ of mand imus ia a rem dy apper? taining to the judicial exercise of jud cial power, and as such is subject to all thc rules that govern procedure in the courts. If sued out by a citizen for the purpose of chrimiug a purely private right depending on the action ot a public ofiiccr, it enid rot bj contended with any propriety, that as a peculiar remedy it was exempt from thc operation of amie in teuded to bind together all ju.isliciions and remedies iuto a harmonious whole. It certain? ly would not be allowed to oust the Court of Chancery of its appropriate jurisdiction over a specified fund in contr jvcrsy. lu thc present case, however, the State is a real aud not a nominal party, aud this is claim? ed as placing thc case in a peculiar attitude to the rule in question. The State can neither be sued nor compelled to appear in its own courts as elsewhere. Where it enters tho courts it docs so voluntarily, and it is to bc presumed for the reason thatsoms important object can? not be attained except through the aid ol' the judicial arm of the government. But no propo? sition is more clcur than that when thc Siato places itself :n the attitude of a suitor in its courts, it subjects itself to all tho rules that bind the jurisd.ction from which it seeks re? lief. When it enters the Court of Chancery it conforms to every requirement that binds the humblest citizen', when it claims thc aid of tho wiit of m.mciamtt^ it takes it subject o all the rules that control its employment, lt fol? lows, therefore, that the same rule must be ap? plied in the present case that would govern in a case of private rights, and, acordiugly, tint rcgaiding the State as a claimant to the fund in question, an insuperable objection exists to the exercise of the jurisdiction claimed iu these proceedings. It has been hitherto assumed that the de? mand of the State is to tho absolute control of tho fund in its own right, and fer such uses as it may seo fit to declare, Anothor view of thc Act of 18CS has been presented which demands consideration. It is contended that the act morely contemplates a clionge in thc custodian ot the fund without necessarily diverting it from any uses to which it may havo become appro? priated by law. It is said that the Legislature may rightfully designate the proper persons to have thc custody of funds in suits pending in the courts, and tnat in tho present instaucs thoy have fairly exercised that poner. That in such a case the courts have uo more right to complain than they would if tho writ of manda? mus was sought to compel a Master in Equity to surrender to tho Clerk of the Common Picas funds iii his possession on tho logal transfer of thc dutios of his office to the Ja->t named officer. That in such event the fuud still remains sub? ject to tho older ot the ourt, though actually h?ld in different hands. On this supposition the statute of 1838 would Lave to be regarded asiemediul rather than as au assertion of a right to control the dedica? tion of tuc fuud. This question is ono of delicacy and import? ance, ?.tnt ns such has received full and serious coi.sidtiution. Time allows only a statement of the conclusion arrived at. ACT OF 1808 NOT REMEDIA L. A careful examination of the statute, both as to its lenus and geueral acopo, a'lowmg in fi vor of tho legislative action every reasonable intendmeut, affords no sufiic.eut" ground for holding it to bo intended as a remedial statute. Tue G.iveriior could hud in it no authority to make any other disposition of the lund than such os might bo pms u-ibed by appro,'riations made by tho Legislature. The dcsigi. ition of the Governor, in his name of ohico as tho cus? todian, au officer who cannot, in his o<hcial character ai Executive of tho State, bo roached by the process of tho Courts, seems to include the idea that it was not tho inten? tion ol' the act to remove tho lund from (bj emt:ol of tho court. (Governor Georgia vs. Madrszj, 1 Pet., 110.) Thc direction to sell at public auctiou with direct reference t> thc in? terests of tho State, is inconsistent with tho principles governing the disposition of ?qui? table funds. Viewing the provision made in the statute for funding a portion of the bills of the bank in connection with thc clauses em? powering tho Governor to so'zo tin fuud. aud the inovitahlc infereuce is that thc Legislature lairly concluded that such provisiou ratitied all legal and moial claims upon the fund, aud lott it at liberty to employ it as a means of satisfy? ing thc general indebtedness of the State, part of which arisc3 from trio issue of bunda to satisfy tho demands of thc billholdcrs ol' thc bank. In this view thc statute- can only be re? garded .as an assortion ol' a propriotarv claim to the lund, and as such wc have seen that (ho appropriate tribunal before whom that claim should bc asserted is the Court of Chancery that has posiossion of tho fund. The respondents have ur-rcd various other matters in bar ol the proceedings, which, under tho view taksa of thc case, arc not im? portant to bo considered. Among the objec? tions urged is that thc Act of 1808 is invalid under thc Constitution of thc United Staten as impairing thc obligalious of tho contra?is of the bauk and (nc Slate with tho creditors ot tho bunk. Ai I may bc called upon at some future time, as a member of the Miprcine Court, to pass upon tho question, it is mani? festly appropriate that no expression of views on that subject should bo made when not im? peratively demanded by the case before mo. The rule to show cause will be discharged. Items of State News. -Colonel Jas. A.
