The action is by the Superintendent of Banks to recover the statutory assessment from stockholders of the Bank of United States.

The allegations in the answer suggests that some sum is due as a dividend. A valid setoff may be claimed in respect to such sum. The motion is granted, with leave to the said defendant to serve an amended answer within ten days upon payment of ten dollars motion costs; said amended answer to be limited to said defendant's claim, if any, in respect to a dividend or dividends.
