OLD STATE BANKS.
Mr. WIER offered a joint resolution (No. 3) with regard to moneys due the State from the old State Bank, and authorizing the appointment of a joint select committee to investigate the matter.
Mr. STEELE said it seemed like another bank fraud matter, to institute this investigation.
Mr. WIER said the resolution was not offered to cast any reflection upon any officer.
Mr. WALLACE moved to postpone the resolution one week from to-day, and if the report from the bank officers was not in by that time, he would move a further postponement.
Mr. STEELE moved to lay the resolution on the table.
The motion was agreed to - yeas 32, nays 16.
