four hundred dollars was afterwards obtained from them and returned to the bank, During the time when said Converse and Sherwood owned a majority of the bank, there was no specie or other available assets belonging to the institution,

Some time in June last, deponent sold the remaining portion of stock owned by him in said bank to Edward Brooks and Andrew T. McReynolds of Detroit. They were to pay him for the same the amount paid by this deponent therefor, but have as yet paid nothing. They were also to take the same as it then was, knowing that nothing had in fact ever been paid in on the same, The safe was broken open by deponent to shew said Brooks and McReynolds the actual situation of the bank, and deponent expressly told them that not a cent had been paid in on the stock, and that said bank had never issued a dollar excepting the amount above mentioned, which was taken away by said Sherwood. This amount in the hands of said Sherwood, was taken without the knowledge or consent of this deponent.

On the day of said last mentioned sale and transfer of stock, deponent resigned as director in said bank, and knows nothing of its transactions since that time.

Deponent further says, that after he had purchased the stock above mentioned, he was informed that the requisitions of the charter of said bank had not been complied with in the original subscription to the stock thereof, inasmuch as the requisite notice of the time and place of opening the books of subscription had not been given. Deponent gave notice of this fact to those to whom he sold said stock, and told them that the same might defeat all interests under the charter, and also gave them copies of a correspondence between the cashier (Seth Beach) and M. J. Bacon, Esq., then the Bank Commissioner.
