the fact that 50 large number of traitors have

THE INJrNCTIoN ON THE BANK OF MUTUAL
REpEMPT1oN--Im Important Decision by the ST.
preple Judicial Court I'm the case oil the in
junction ON the Bank of Mutual Redemption
heard some days since before the supreme Ju.
are the principal points involved, together with
the order OF court:
l. Whether chap 81 sec. 10 of General Stat.

an amount OF specie equal to fifteen per cent.
OF It's liability for circulation and deposits, as
the government commended or requires that
the Weeky acreage should equal this per centage
as the respondents claimed. The decision of
the court is in favor OF the former construc.
ton
ii. Borrowing money by the bank upon
pledge Of its own bills. The court holds this
to be prohibited by General Statutes chan 81

OF its bids with an agreement that they should
not he put into immediate unrestricted circu

the bank within a limited time

only embraces such debts as are created by
the nature and in the ordinary course of the
banking business The court held that this
section contained no prohibition against a
bank borrowing of another bank with interest
on time.
The court thus continued the Injunction
upon two Of the material points in the case and
dissolved it upon one The decree of the
court is as follows
AT CHAMBERS IN BosroN, Feb 25, 1862
1t is ordered in the above case that the in
