RS 39:1227: Failure of depository; depositing authority holding own notes; right to set-off

Any depositing authority which holds its own note as security, in whole or in part, for its deposits in any bank, shall, if the bank fails, have the right to set-off its deposits against its note; and shall have the same right with respect to evidence of participation by its own note held by it as security, provided the right of set-off does not affect the rights of other holders of evidence in the notes.
