at and before the passage Of said act I
am OF the opinion that II did not come
under the provisions thereof. But l
am equally of the opinion that the
borrowing OF any money by the dis
counting Of promissory notes in any
bank or banks came or would have
come under the provisions Of said sec
tons, relating to the amount Of money
that can lawfully be borrowed In any
one year, and that the legality OF any
renewals OF such discounted notes
must be determined accordingly.
"In conclusion would suggest that
in the event of your inability to renew
or pay said notes or any of them by
reason OF illegality, such recourse may
be had to the General Assembly as may
be deemed advisable by your body"

tents and cabins, and at several points
they are preparing to pillow for spring
crops, There are at least two thou
