In this statement il will be perceived that
the specie checks are no longer estimated
as an amount paid in on the capital stock
Of the bank, and the sum Of $3.50 therein
set down was actually paid in specie, and
possessed by the bank. On the other
side Of the statement, however, under
the head Of "cash items," these sps.
Gle checks to. the amount Of $9,750 arc
made use of as among the resources Of the
bank. IL will be at once observed that
these checks cannot be used by the ns,itu.
ton among its resources without mourning
q responsibility to the same amount TO the
drawers thereof, and that they should, If
90 recovered, be also put down on the side
Of liabilities ss stock paid in. IL they are
added to the side of liabilities, or deducted
from the statement Of the resources, (which
will produce the same RESULT there will be
exhibited deficit in the resources of the
bank Of the said sum OF $9,75O. The
balance Of the amount Of "cash i,ems," is
composed of post Office DAFT and loans
toindividuals, subject TO immediate demand.
II is probable, however, that some error
must have occurred in the statement, and
that the deficit above mentioned does not
really exist, at least not to the amount a.
hove stated. Bills Of the bank to the a.
mount Of $4,000, were delivered to James
II. Milford, Of Illinois, to be putin circula.
ZION there, and accounted for or returned by
him the first Of April inst. His obligation
with securities was taken TO the bank, md
il i presumnble that the cashier, by mis-.
take, failed to enter it among the loans or
other resources Of the institution in the
ststernent here exhibited. This, however,
cannot now With certainty be ascertained.

consisting of bonds and mortgages, which
may probably be sufficient to- cancel the
debts of the institution, were chiefly given
by them. 1t seems upon investigation that
the resident stockholders knew little Of the
management or concerns of the bank
Vt the time of the visitation Of this bank,
which was on the 10Th day Of March last,
the president and cashier were both absent.
The key of the safe was delivered to the
commissioner by Lemuel Brown, one of
the directors, who had obtained it from the
president.
1t contained an imperfect set of books
which, however, we're said to contain all the
entries made by the officers Of the bank.
The paper marked (A) and hereunto
annexed, exhibits the entry in the only
book which is intended to show who are tho
stockholders Of the bank. The paper
marked (B.) is copy Of the only entry
giving the names Of the directors and Off.
cors. ltappears that the individuals who
solicited the inhabitants ofShawassee coun.
ty to become subscribers to stock, promised
70 advance, themselves, all the specie re.
ouisite to put the institution into operation
and, indeed, notes for their proportional a.
mount were given by some o. he subscri.
bers, payable in thirty days in specie, whi.e
of others no such notes were required
These notes were afterwards given up by
said Brown.
No part Of the capital stock of the bank
appears ever to have been paid in. Two
certificates of specie depostes were OBJ.
tanned from the Farmers Bank of Genesee
county, for which discharges were given
at the same time they were received, and in.
tended TO be used in the bank. Another
certificate seems TO have been put into the
bank, purporting to be issued by the New
Haven bank, for $1,000, which was af.
forwards sold, but soon returned to the
bank as a forgery. Seven coppers were
found in the safe. No other coin appeared
at any time to have belonged to the bank.
No bills Of other banks were found there
was one counterfeit note Of $500 on one Of
the New. York banks. There is but one
entry in the books purpsrting 10 show the
issues of the bank. The amount which
then appears TO have been issued, is 4,S75
dollars. BY reference,l however, to a
copy Of which, marked Co., is hercunto
annexed. it will appear that there have been
issued of the bills of the bank, 34,326 dol.
lars. At the time Of the examination,
there were found in the bank in its own
bills, returned, the sum of 1898, dollars,
which, if the statement be correct, would
exhibit, a circulation of 25,393 dollars
There appears also to be due on expense
account, and to depositors, the sum of 29l-
Is dollars.
The statement before referred to, ex-
hibits the amount due from individuals to
the bank, at $20,961 37a.

house.
BY reference to the books in the bank,
and the statement of the cashier, it appear-
ed that the bank has issued its bills since
the 10th January last, without endorsement
by bank commissioner, to the amount Of
$4,000. The amount due from the direc.
tors of the institution was, at that time, 49,.
500 dollars, an amount far exceeding that
allowed by law.
The security given for the final discharge
of all liabilities Of the bank, was the per-
sonal bond Of the directors alone, in the
penalty Of 100000. Additional securi.
ties were required by the commissioner
who visited the institution, but the same not
having been perfected as agreed upon, ap-
| pication was made TO the chancellor for the
institution of proceedings agreeably to the
provisions of the statute in such case made
and provided.
The next institution Of similar charac-
ter, which underwent the examination Of
the undersigned, was "Tho Bank Of Ls.
peer" located at the county seat of Lapeer
county. This bank went into operation on
the 9th day Of December 1887, with cap
ital of $4,000. About $1,000 Of the
thirty per cent. on the capital stock, requi-
red to be paid in specie. was SO paid In |;
the greater proportion, however, of the a.
mount was in certificate of specie depos.
tie, issued by the Farmers and Mechan-
les Bank of Michigan" This certificate
was obtained by A. Goodrich, one OF the
directors of the Bank Of Lapeer, who pro.
cured it by giving his check for the amount,
Of the same date, and without making any
actual deposite in the bank. The amount
this certificate was $4,000. 1t was con.
sidered as applying on the subscriptions Of
different individuals who held shares OF
stock, and amounted, when added to the
specie paid in, to more than the sum re.
quired. No entry, however, appears by
the books in the bank ever TO have been
made OF this certificate, nor were any reg
ulnr accounts ever opened with the stock.
holders, except such as appears in minute
taken from the books, hereto appended
marked (D.) The certificate was taken
away few weeks afterwards, by the said
Goodrich.
Norman Davidson was the president oil
the institution, from tbs commencement Of
its operations until the LIST day Of February
last, and Alvin N. Hart was cashier until
the 18th day of the same month. J. L.
Benedict was then chosen President, and
ID. S. Cady, cashier. The last named in.
dividuals, the present officers of the bank
being both absent at the time Of the exami.

and two Of the directors was resorted to for
information. Their afiidavits will be found
among the annexed papers.

the community, and in the hands of agents
Ter that purpose, greatly exceeded the sum
specified. The entire issues Of this bank
were made in violation Of the law, without
endorsement by bank commissioner. An
account Of the discounted bills, mentioned
in the above statement, was entered in a
book in the bank, but no other book of en-
tries was kept, from which any thing could
be discovered Of the affairs Of this insttu.
ZION. There was, indeed, book present.
cd, purporting to be the cash book Of the
bank, in which entries were made, exhibi.
ting the pretended amount Of specie, for.
eign notes and domestic bills in the bank
on the morning and evening Of each day,
for large proportion Of the time after tho
bank went into operation. But so clear
was the evidence that the entries were made
for the purposes of deception. and the whole
prepared for tho occasion, that il was emit.
tied to no consideration.
The investigation of the WAYNE County
Bank, located at Plymouth. enables the un.
dersigned TO present the following statement
of the mode in which this institution was
established, its subsequent transactions and
present condition.
This bank was organized and went into
operation on the 18th day of December,
1887, with capital Of 100000.
The ten per cent. required to be paid in
on the capital stock in specie, At the iims
Of subscribing, was paid in by depositing
with the treasurer, checks for specie drawn
by the stockholders on the Michigan State
Bank. These checks have never been
presented to the last mentioned bank, but
still remained at the time Of the examina-
ton in the safe Of the Wayne County
Bank.
When the bank went into operation, two
certificates of deposites for $4,000 each
were obtained by the president, ]. D. Da.
Wis, " to the credit of the Wayne County
Bank, subject 10 the order of the cashier
thereof" signed by H. H. Brown e. Go.
The arrangement by which tho above men.
/. toned certificates were obtained seems ia
have been through Mr.. Mcclure, the cash.
Ter Of the bank Of Clinton, with the presi.
dent Of the Wayne County Bank. What
the arrangement was, does not fully appear;
wi siSC S0ouiOI vi TIC last ndIntQ Udnk, 6td-
ted that Mcclure claimed loan of the
bank which he said had been promised him,
and threatened to Withdraw these certif
Gates if il was not given. This loan to
Mcclure was refused. The cashier of the
bank had SO little confidence in the certif.
cafes, as he stated, that he made no entry
Of them upon the books Of the bank, nor
did he consider them as payment in fac,
Of the thirty per cent required by law
There has been actually paid in by the
stockholders in specie on their stock, the
sum of $3.50. The amount of specie in
bank at the time Of the examination was
$3.425 10, large proportion Of which
had been deposited by stockholders, and
the amount was subject to the draft of the
depositors. The following is statemen,
of the funds Of the bank, made on the 18th
day OF February last.
