Mr. Thomas moved, To dispense with the rule of the Senate, and read the bill now the third time by its title. Which was not agreed to. Mr. Thomas from the committee on the Judiciary to which was referred the bill from the House of Representatives entitled "An act to continue the charter of the Bank of Kaskaskia for a limted time." Reported, That by the act incorporating said bank the Commissioners appointed to receive the subscription to the capital stock, were required to open books on a day and at places named in the act, and no provision was made for opening books at any other time, without their having been opened at the time and place required in the instancce. It does not appear that books were ever opened at any time or place, nor does it ap pear, that the corporation ever in any manner accepted the provisions of the charter. It is the opinion of the Committee, that unless the corporation was in existence at the time of the adoption of the Constitution saving the rights and corporate powers of Banks and monied institutions, cannot be applied to this institution. Upon the question of continuing the charter of the Shawneetown Bank, it was contended by some, that the General Assembly could not continue the existence of that institution for any longer period than was fixed in the Charter, notwithstanding it was admitted that the Bank had been regularly organized and was in operation at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, and was kept in operation up to the time of the passage of the law continuing the charter. And although this view of the subject was not sustained by the final action of the Senate, yet is understood that it was admitted in the discussion upon that question, and not controverted, that if the corporation had done no act amounting to an acceptance of the charter, previ. ous to the adoption of the constitution, that the corporation could not have been continued. In the views thus taken upon the constitutional question, your committee concur, and therefore recommend the indefinite postponement of the bill. |
