is said that much Of the collateral held by
the institution is Of the most dubious char
acter.
A member Of the depositors' investigat-
ing committee said that among the col
lateral Of the bank were two notes, one for
$4,000 and another for s2O,0O0, that are
drawn by person who has no existence.
Mr. Bardsley is reported as still lying in
a precarious condition at his home, and in

speak Of the legal phrase of the question.
Years ago Union seminary was a free as-
sociation. In 1870 it had Of its own win
come under the power Of the assembly, so
far as the disapprova Of professors was
concerned. The assembly has no right to
approve. Il had only the right to disap-
prove. The power 60 disapprove, II not
exercised at the meeting following the
election, was abrogated This made the
duty and right Of the assembly, under the
law, very clear There was no power to
delay action, therefore the amendment Of
DIR. Logan could not be Of avail.
There were only three things that could
be done, either disapprove, do as the com
mittee had done or they could refuse to
disapproye DR.. Briggs and send the matter
back 70 the directors because the proceed
