substitute the bill previously under consideration
save the liability clause with the further difference

fed with 1t, to vote against striking out -
The chair having stated that the bill could be
amended before putting the question on striking
out, MIR. GARNETT read an amendment he pro-
posed by way of compromise to the chairman of
the committee on Banks, viz to require the
mother Bank only to pay out its own notes at its
counter. This with the provision requiring the
mother Bank to redeem the branch notes at per

meet the views Of those who favored the amend

as to induce them to acquiesce in the engrossment
of the bill

sition and Mr.. GARNETT did not press
