WHEREAs, From the report made by
the Commissioners appointed to examine
tho books &c., ofthe late Treasurer and
Andisor Of State, we have the evidence that
during aperiod Of nine years, unknown to
either the Legislature or people of Ohio,
said Treasurer Of State had twenty nine
thousand dollars Of State funds deposited in
-ens Of the banking iastitutons Of Colum-
bus. And whereas, during the nine years
ahe money was SO deposited, the proper au-
ahorities Of Ohio were selling State Bonds
81 6fty cents on the dollar, in order toraise
money to pay certain banks for money Dor.
rowed Of Them by the State. And where
I'm a. loss of more than forty thousand dol
lars has been sustained by the State, by
reason of the selling Of bonds to raise mon
eys to the amount OF such deposit, and the
interest thereon. And whereas, the Off
esrs Of the banking institutions Of the State
have, under oath, refused to give testimo
my before said Commissioners, disclosing |
Tho private Transactions Of said Treasurer |
With said banking institutions Therefore,
s Resesred, That the Judiciary committee
ks Instructed to inquire, aad report to this
Senate, by virtue OF what law, if any, of
this State, said bankers are exempted from
irving testimony, disclosing the private
transactions Of said banking institutions
with individuals; or whether anything in
their charter can, by Implication, be con-
strued into legal exemption from obey
ing the mandates. of law, and justify them
IN covering up their private transactions
with the fiscal agents of the State.
