Mr.. Brown said. sir, / think it is high time that
ffis Bank was called to account for violating and
resisting the laws. This. bank has not only VIC
lated the municipal laws; it has also resisted the
organic laws of the State, and for this reason we
call for ayrepeal of its act ofincorporation This
Bank refused to obey the law which required that
the amount it had loaned to individuals should be
returned. When the tax was assessed the bank
refused to pay farthing. This company has re-
4fusediolistits taxable property under the law of
last winter. It isnot an isolated instance of vio-
Lifting one law; this bank has Systematically Sc
at defiance all your laws for the collection of tax
es. Hope, sir, that the charter of this bank will
be Internationally and forrver repealed.
