CASHIER. An officer of a moneyed institution, who is entitled by virtue of 
his office to take care of the cash or money of such institution. 
     2. The cashier of a bank is usually entrusted with all the funds of the 
bank, its notes, bills, and other choses in action, to be used from time to 
time for the ordinary and extraordinary exigencies of the bank. He usually 
receives directly, or through subordinate officers, all moneys and notes of 
the bank delivers up all discounted notes and other securities, when they 
have been paid draws checks to withdraw the funds of the bank where they 
have been deposited; and, as the executive officer of the bank, transacts 
much of the business of the institution. In general, the bank is bound by 
the acts of the cashier within the scope of his authority, expressed or 
implied. 1 Pet. R. 46, 70Wheat. R. 300, 361 5 Wheat. R. 326; 3 Mason's R. 
505; 1 Breese, R. 45; 1 Monr. Rep. 179. But the bank is not bound by a 
declaration of the cashier, not within the scope of his authority; as when a 
note is about to be discounted by the bank, he tells a person that he will 
incur no risk nor responsibility by becoming an indorser upon such note. 6
