suggestion was not at that time adopted. The bank Irving
prospered, the three nation' who bad been named were
very desirous of joining the beak, and the negotiation was
opened at their instaaat, an not at the inseams of the
beak. It was sot true that the plaintiffs had
mar bra premien uniting as behalf of the
