The case was tried by the court, and a judgment rendered in favor of the plaintiff, and is brought here on defendant’s appeal.

Upon the authority of and for the reasons set out in the case of State ex rel. Wilson v. First National Bank of Carterville, supra, the judgment of the circuit court herein should be reversed, and it is so ordered.
