Please help!

Can anyone recall the case and the name of the Judge who, in about 1750, held that when an individual deposited his own money into a Bank, that money became the Bank's money.  It was a loan to the bank. Not a 'deposit' or bailment.

Asking for a friend.

Now I’m intrigued, why would you want to know that?

I often get emails from parties interested in my bank details! The African lottery I won all those years ago is still resting in an account somewhere or other...
