Interest of varying amounts will be given on deposits of this kind, according as the deposit is subject to withdrawal at a week's, or month's, or six months' notice. ( Bithell .) (2) Deposits of bonds, share-certificates, and other negotiable instruments, are often made for the sake of safety with a merchant or banker, in exchange for which a deposit-receipt is given. A commi ion, or some other form of remuneration, is usually paid by the depositor for the trouble and expense of the custody of such deposits. Similar documents are frequently placed in the hands of merchants and bankers as a security for loans made to the depositors. In these cases the deposit is made at the time the loan is advanced, and withdrawn when the loan is repaid. ( Bithell .) 3. Law : (1) Money deposited in the hands of another as a security for the performance of some engagement or contract, or as part payment.

"Nothing can show greater depravity of understanding than to delight in the show when the reality is wanting.' -Johnson. 2. Wickedne , profligacy; an utter absence of morality or good principles. "The depravity of this man has pa ed into a proverb." -Macaulay: Hist. Eng., ch. iv. Crabb thus discriminates between depravity , depravation, and corruption : "The term depravity characterizes the thing as it is; the terms deprava tion and corruption designate the making or causing it to be so: depravity therefore excludes the idea of any cause; depravation always carries us to the cause or external agency: hence we may speak of depravity as natural, but we speak of deprava tion as the result of circumstances: there is a depravity in man which nothing but the grace of God can correct; the introduction of obscenity on the stage tends greatly to the depravation of morals; bad company tends to the corruption of a young man's morals. Depravity or depravation implies crookedne , or a distortion from the regular course; corruption implies a di olution as it were in the component parts of bodies. Cicero says (de Finibus , ii.) that depravity is applicable only to the mind and heart; but we say a depraved taste, and depraved humors in regard to the body. A depraved taste loathes common food, and longs for that which is hurtful. Corruption is the natural proce by which material substances are disorganized. A judgment not sound or right is depraved; a judgment debased by that which is vicious is corrupted. What is depraved requires ot be reformed; what is corrupted requires to be purified. Depravity has most regard to apparent and exce ive disorders; corruption to internal and di olute vices Depravity is best applied to those objects to which common usage has annexed the epithets of right, regular, fine, ., and corrup tion to those which may be characterized by the epithets of sound, pure, innocent, or good. Hence we prefer to say depravity of mind and corruption of heart; depravity of principle and corruption of sentiment or feeling: a depraved character; a corrupt example, a corrupt influence. The last thing worthy of notice respecting the two words depravity and corruption , is that the former is used for man in his moral capacity: but the latter for man in a political capacity; hence we speak of human depravity , but the corruption of govern ment."
