In the Pinney case, the jury went out

II is considered almost certain that they
will return Q verdict OF not guilty.
The bill recently introduced in Congress
for the conversion Of gold note banks to
regular National banks, was the result Of
action on the part Of the gold note banks
Of this State. This act will enable chem
to become currency banks without going
into liquidation, as would otherwise be
necessary. 1t will also enable them to in
crease their circulation slightly, and to re-
deem their notes in either gold or cur
rency.
