Procedure, being Title v, Chap cXXII,
of the Revised Statutes, in relation to
the examination of witnesses.
The bill to raise supplies for the coming
fiscal year was called up, and the bill re-
co,nmendo:l by the minority report oi
the committeoof ways and ,nenns, and
which makes separate levy for tho sew
era1 objects of expenditures, was suhsti'
tuted and put upon its second reading.
The encouragement has received q
copy Of the decision of the Supreme Court
Of the United States in relation to the
bills of the Bank of the State. 1t con-
oludes as follows: upon review of the
whole case we are clear that the judgment
must be reversed, and q mandamns be
issued to the collector, directing him to
receive in payment of tho relator's taxes
the bills offered" The opinion OF the
acknowledgement is that the decision en-
forces the receipt for taxes of only such
bills as are embraced in the suit, amount
ing to eleven thousand dollars, and that
holders Of other bills must institute sep
arate proceedings, and establish, by a
jury, the validity of their bills" But, the
opinion of the Attorney-General to the
contrary notwithstanding, those who hold
tho State Bills will pay their taxes with
them, or pay no taxes at all.
