TECHNICAL POINT RAISED. Receivership of Allemannia Bank May Be Invalidated. A question was raised in Judge Jaggard's court yesterday that bids fair to cause trouble for W. F. Hunt as receiver of the Allemannia bank. It appears that when Judge Lewis appointed Mr. Hunt as receiver of the bank he simply appointed him as receiver of "the Allemannia bank, a corporation." The appointment should have read as receiver of "the Allemannia Bank of St. Paul." While this is a small technical point It may involve the validity of all acts since the appointment. The court may SO amend the appointment as to make the proceedings valid, entering a decree to that effect.

ALLEMAN. BANK SUITS. Judge Otis Gives Judgment Against Two Stockholders. Judge Otis is engaged with several of the suits instituted by W. F. Hunt, as receiver of the Allemannia, to enforce the liability of stockholders. Judgment was yesterday directed in favor of the receiver against John Marty for $1,600, and against W. F. Zimmermann for $2,000. The cases against Margaret Fitzgerald in the sum of $500, and E. A. Marks in the sum of $350, were heard yesterday. Margaret Fitzgerald, in her answer, denies the right of a corporation to change its name under the laws of this state, and upon that ground maintains that the Allemannia bank was but a banking partnership and not an incorporation. She was a stockholder in the Commercial bank, which was the predecessor of the Allemannia bank, and disclaims responsibility as a stockholder of the Allemannia.
