observed that there were Resolutions from
the other House, nearly to the same effect,
upon which Committee vas already rails.
ed said he was glad these Resolutions had
been offered, and moved their reference TO
The Committee on Banks.
Mr.. Edwards concurred with the Senator
from Guiliord. The Resolutions involved
matter Of vas, importance to the State---eD
qulrIes into wrongs committed by ore Of
those corporations called Banks and in his
opinion, they ought 10 be considered belute
"a Committee.

lection TO the course proposed by the Sena.
tors from Guilford and Warren.
Mr.. Brown, as one Of the Committee on
Banks, said the Committee was ready to

of these Resolutions to that body, should
prevail to comply with the wishes of the
Senate.
A debate sprung up on point Of order,
in which Messrs. Alorebead, Joyner, Brown

er the adoption Of a private Resolution, af
ter lis reading, did not take 1t out of the
power of the Senate subsequently TO refer.
MIR. Brown then gave the Banks one Of his
severe castigalions.
Mr. Morehcad suggested TO Mr.. Hodges,
to alter his Resolutions, so as TO make them
o. public nature. He trusted they would
then be adopted; and as one of the Com
mlttee on Banks, to whom these Resolutions
were proposed 10 be referred, he should not
shrink from any labor the Senate might
deem it right and proper to impose upon it.
Mr. Joyner moved to postpone the con.
sideraiOn Of these Resolutions until TO NOR
row, and that they be printed, which mo
ton was negatiyed, and the Resolutions
were adopted.

The right 10 summon Jury to assess said (
Iond and that they report BY Bill or other
wise.
Mr.. Cooper said as his County bad voted .
against Common Schools, and being adverse
himself to the condemning Of individual pro.
perry in the manner proposed by the Reso. (
luton, he should vote ugains, it.
Mr.. Eyum though, the Senator from
Martin had mistaken the putport of the

fully. After which, It was adopted.
