1. “"Here the bank has not meddled with the bankrupt’s assets at all. The property was, as I have said, a chose in action, to which it was an incident that the obligor should honor sight drafts. It did honor such a draft innocently, as all sides concede, and in so doing it availed itself of the conditions' of the very obligation under which the trustee now sues.
