In re Bank, 204 N. C., 143, 167 S. E., 561. While there is abundant authority for the position asserted by the plaintiffs, this Court has consistently held that a general deposit such as disclosed by the present record, does not create a preference. Although there may be slight variations of fact, the case of Mfg. Co. v. Hood, 204 N. C., 349, 168 S. E., 523, and Mfg. Co. v. Hood, ante, 324, are determinative in principle.\nAffirmed.\nSchenck, J., took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.",

It was further alleged that on 3 March, 1933, the bank closed and thereafter Gurney P. Hood, Commissioner of Banks, took charge of the assets thereof for the purpose of liquidation.\nUpon the foregoing allegations the plaintiffs assert that said deposits constitute a preference. The defendant demurred to the complaint upon the ground that the facts stated did not constitute a preferred claim.\nThe demurrer was sustained and the plaintiffs appealed.\nT. B. Mommy and B. L. Smith for plaintiffs.\nG. I. Taylor and U. L. Spence for defendant."
