bought il not best to repeal the act h' 'hof0N
o dismiss the bill.
Mir. Stewart Of Middebuty eaid that he had
earned that the bank did not elect directors III
January, and that there seems to be NOBODY VINO
AN be held responsible.
Mr.: Barlow said no election had been maze,
but still the directors elected previously are re-
spousb.e on their bonds. lie was sure that the !
bank is as sound and safe as any bank IN the
Sate The clamor against it Gomez from brokers
and others who wish to speculate in the bile.
Mr. HInmln OF Holland said citizen OF his
town had sent bills for redemption, and the bank
refused them
Mir. Barlow said all that is necessary Tor any
holder of bills to do is to make an eff iaylt that
he is a bona ffe owner.
Mcssrs. Wilson, OF Bakersfield and Waite OF
Brattleb0ro had no doubt that the directors are
responsible on their bonds and the repeal OF the
act would be an ininry to the pubic rather tlSn
to the bank.
Mr.. Pratt OF Woodstock said the dircctoisTc re-
qure more than an affidavit OIL honest ownership
Bill holders have been required to prove that
they held the bills previous TO rGld-ior instance,
4 widow in his part Of the state, a depostor in
O saving bank.
Mr. Nicholson Of Wallingiord said the debate
shows an issue Of fact which cannot be tried in
a week lie objected to tomplcatng grand
event Of tho agcs, for which the dial of Time
has been long waiting, by this ,wo cent business.
If the bank refuses TO redeem, the holder has
only 70 take his remedy in the courts at once.
Nj. Wilson asked if the widow had not re-
ceved her money.
Mr.. Pratt admitted that it was So through
threat of the Swings Bank to carry the matter
into court Ito dd not wish 10 force parties
into court
Mr.. Wilson SAID tho back must require proof
that bills offered we're not part OF the stolen
bills, Bil-bolders ought not ~ complain Of
that
Mr. Lybde OF Williamstown and Mr.. Uush-
ing OF Barton stste! instance, oil complaint in
thor vicinity.
Mr. KimbAil Of Patney inquired whether tho
bank cannot and viii not pursue the same course
1 il the act shall be repealed II, deed, the or
feet Of the at is not merely 10 fix the lat Of
June next as limit beyond which holders can
not present their bill.
Mir. Billiard Of St. Johnsbury suggested that
the Canadian Government is TO refund the stolen
money ana therefore chat there is now no good
reason for The act Of The last session. lie wac
much dissatisfied with the course Of the bank
there ls too much Of the sharper about it or,
ut any rate, such u the impression among the
public.
Mr.. Stss art said the only remedy that seems
to be suggested by the debate is. that the time
for the REDEMPTION Of the bills shall BE- extended
bur he vas disposed to concur with the gentle
man from MaiHpp(nrI
Mr. Barlow SAID the Canadian Government
has no refunded yet they P'onose so refund
only that part 't Inc money whieh was giFen
ap 70 the RAIDER hY the Marshal at Montreal
and that Soo condition That iha raiders are
gwen ". They are no. given up YEP and The
anadiln Judge seems to be conveniently SICK
The only purpose oil the bank is to protect it'eiI
againsL the stolen money, They have a right
TO 90 mat, both moral ana lrgai Iney are dung
It anu It has happeaed more than ones that
the Dank has found that The money presentsd e
II iof redemption by the persons wl1 make al
the eIamor, Was actually part oi the stolen
money.
The b'lI was dismissed. Adjourned.
