(C.) Affidavit of J. D. Pierce. Detroit, March 19, 1839. I, John D. Pierce, do hereby depose and say, that, according to my knowledge and belief, I have never paid into the Michigan state bank, (as Superintendent of Public Instruction,) any money as special deposite, nor have I deposited any money but such as was bankable in the city of Detroit, at the time of making such deposites. I have deposited about seventy thousand dollars, all which was in current funds, and receivable on general deposite in Detroit. The above deposition I mean to apply as well to any agent or person by me entrusted, as well as to myself. JOHN D. PIERCE. Sworn and subscribed before me, this 29th March, 1839. O. HAWKINS, Chairman Com. Incorporations. (D.) Statement of J. C. Frink, and J. Starkweather. Dec. 10. New York money and cer tificate of deposite, $5,000 00 Ohio, Indiana and Pennsyl vania, 3,000 00 Michigan safety fund, $33,681 00 I examined the moneys above described, which were deposited by Mr. Pierce in the Michigan state bank, and from my recollection of the kind of funds, should suppose that the above statement was correct. The above packages were sealed by me, and contained no funds but what were current at Detroit, at the time the several amounts were deposited. The Michigan money was redeemed soon after it was deposited. I make the statement at the request of Mr. Pierce. Marshall, March 11, 1839. Money deposited in the State Bank by Huron River Bank, to the credit of John D. Pierce. Marshall, March 14, 1839. To whom it may concern: This may certify, that I deposited in the Michigan state bank, to the credit of John D. Pierce, Oct. 1, 1838, $950, two-thirds of the amount being eastern funds, the balance current Michigan funds of chartered banks, except $50, which was Michigan safety fund banks. Nov. 8.-I made another deposite of $1,550; of this amount $800 was specie; about $510 eastern funds, the balance Michigan chartered funds, except about $70, which was of Michigan safety funds. I have also deposited at other times, amounts varying from $50 to $250, the proportion of which would be much less of eastern funds than the above larger amounts. JOHN STARKWEATHER. Bond to the Treasurer. Know all men by these presents, that we, Frederick H. Steevěns, John Norton, jr., Franklin Moore, Thomas B. Clarke, Gershom M. Williams, Horace H. Comstock and Henry Howard, are held and firmly bound unto Henry Howard, Treasurer of the state of Michigan, and to his successor in office, in the sum of five hundred thousand dollars lawful money, to be paid to the said Henry Howard, Treasurer as aforesaid, and his successor in office for which payment to be well and truly made, we bind ourselves, one and each of our heirs, executors and administrätors, firmly by these presents. Sealed with our seals, and dated this twentieth day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirtynine. Whereas, by a resolution of the legislature of the state of Michigan, entitled "A resolution directing the deposites of public moneys, and for other purposes," approved February 23d, A. D. 1836, the State Treasurer was, by said resolution, required to deposite all moneys coming into his hands as Treasurer, in the Michigan state bank; and whereas, in pursuance of said resolution, the Treasurer aforesaid, has, from time to time, continued to deposite moneys so received by him in said bank; and whereas, by reason of said deposites in said Michigan state bank, so made by said Treasurer, said bank stands indebted to said state on this day in about the sum of five hundred thousand dollars. Now the condition of this obligation is such, that if Michigan state bank shall and will, from time to time, repay any and all sum or sums of money that may now or that may hereafter be due said state of Michigan by reason of deposites so made by the Treasurer of said state or otherwise, then this obligation to be void, otherwise to remain in full force and virtue. In presence of James Armstrong. F. H. STEEVENS, LS. [1. s.] I certify the foregoing to be a true copy of the bond filed in this office on the 19th instant. ROB'T ABBOTT, A. G., S. M. (No. 38.)
