title amended so as to read ian act requir-
ing the directors Of banks chartered under
the act Of 1910 to give bonds for the re-
dempton of their bills )" the provision Of
the act Of lS40 is conditional, If the d.
rectors shall give bonds, the bank shall be
relieved from the liability Of contributing 10
the safety fund ; and this bill makes it obi
gatory on the directors TO do so. MIR Villas
supported the bill, urging that it would not
be onerous to the banks, nor Objectionable
to the directors, If they were disposed to be
honest, while it would afford better securi-
iy to the public Mr. Warner opposed the
bill. arguing that ample security is required
by the present law, and that this proposition
would be unjust to the banks who have con-
tribnted to the safety fund, and more oner-
GUS than to require the private property of
the stockholders TO be holden, as it in fact
required the directors to he personally res
ponsibe for accidents entirely beyond their
contro--such as fire, or a more general pub
lie calamity Mr. Warner moved to dismiss
the bill, which motion was opposed by MIR
Villas, and supported by Messrs Warner aud
