Does a plea of bad be held bad that a church treasurer failed to call their treasurer to a bank account for 7 years after defaulting?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Springer v. Exchange Bank of Canada, 1887 CanLII 14 (ON CA):

The Albany Dutch Church v. Vedder, 14 Wend. 169, is to the same effect; a plea was held bad that plaintiffs neglected to call their treasurer to an account for seven years after default, from year to year, until he became insolvent, when by their own by law he was bound to render his account every six months. Held, not to discharge his sureties. Citing Trent v. Harley, 10 East 34.
