Mr. WooJoE moved the following new section to
the bill.
BE 1t further enacted that on application of the
Bank OF a. for renewal eXteusion of its charter
1t shall be lawful for either House of Assembly to p
! point committee of one from each Gong ressional
district in the State, whose right and duty il shail
be to examine into the condition and The transa
OF the Bank, and report their opinion thereupon-
Eacn member OF such committee being het&y
CURED before he enters such secret exam nation
to take an oath that he will not divulgc the state OF
The account of any private dealer at Bank
VIZ. pooJoH supported this amendment at some
length. He had no disposition to trammel the bank
but he was unwilling to confidc powers SO great to
any set of mon, whose transactions were concealed
from the public eye
The amendment was opposed by EIr. RdrUie who
said that If adopted 1t would prove fatal to the bank
i as no dealers would transact business at Eank
where their accounts we're liable to be exposed.
I MIR. .9thinson of Isle of ~ light supported the a.
mendment. He rldcuIed the annual Bank exaInna-
ton by committee of the Legislature as an annual
| farce-nnd defended the proposition upon general
principles of propriety.
| Mr.. Wooyoik srid he could not but consider if rs
remarkable, that whenever a proposition was made
to hit The veil Of mystery which concealed The banks
all their friends united to cry that the measure
was one of destruction. II Banks could not be kent
up without Secs esq, he hoped they would 90 down
ihe1e was every reason to believe that if examined
the BOOKS OF this Bank would exhibit great favorsn
enormous accommodations to few individuals, BY
which the monopoly ofthe tobacco marke. was aiyen
to them, to the injury othe farmer and planter The
amendment only provided for this examination wien
| the Bank applied for rechartering.
Mr. tina'S opposed the amendment on the around
attached II, $50 10
pleased with the amendment and would vc for it ii
But as Virginia owned large interest in the Bank
| ne was unwilling to go home and when asked about
| it, tell his constituents that he was bound by GA.
not to tell He moved to amend III this respect but
it was negatived
Mr.. Hnroie briefly replied to Messrs. Atkinson and
W oo!folk, when the question Ir. Woofllk's
amendment was taken and carried in the nepa.ive-
Ayes rs, e2. |.'.
Mr.. Garland of Amherst, now moved to strike ont
the Cd section of the bill, establishnn a branch at
Danville, with a minimum capital of $50 900
Mr.. Garland supported his amendment in brief
manner 4he result of his reflections, made him Ia
enemy of bankiDg institutions-and while satisfied
that the evil was too deeply rooted to be removed at
once, he was averse from multiplying it, 1t was true
that the neighborhoods most remote from Banks
were most ifiourshing. As to the benefit of this
branch to that quarter Of the country, he had not
heard that they desired it-and to the advantage
to the stockholders, it apparent that the branch
at Danvile would not do more than pay its officers
and meet expenses
ILL Cu"o' OpPOoSu IHe duenuUeGt, and entered
into view of tue situation of The Roanoke country
wanting and accomplishing improvements to prove
the eXpediency Of locating branch at Danville. 1t
was the unanimous wish of his constituents and they
did petition for it, because they understood the
Bank itself desired to locate branch on the Roam
oke. Mr.. G. moved to substitute the section amend
ed, by new section, requiring branch at Danvile
to be placed on the footing the other branch
es provided seven persons shall be found there quail
fled as drectors-wheh amendment was supported
by Mr.. Scott of Halifax, opposed by MIR. Garland of
I Arobo md nd oil
strike out the section establishing branch at Dan
vile.
| Dir. .9tEiason Of Isle of Wight, moved new sec
ton to the blthat 1t shall be the duty of The Gen
eral Assembly to appoint annually joint committee
whose right and duty it shall be to examine the tran
sections of the Bank, and report their opinions
thoreon0--and the amendment was negatived.
