Such corporation shall have power to bring suits to enforce any liability of directors or officers of the bank, but the double liability of stockholders, as provided in Section 81-5-27, by the turning over of the liquidation by the depositors as herein provided, shall be released as to all stockholders of any such bank. However, no stockholder shall be refunded any sum of money which he may have actually paid in discharge of his double liability, nor shall the release of double liability provided by this section be construed to extend to any instance where a stockholder shall have executed a promissory note or other instrument of writing in settlement of such double liability.
