Mr. Forrest proposed the following as an additional sec-
tion:

And be it enacted, That the directors and officers of each
and every banking institution in this State, shall (after the
assets of their bank are exhausted) be held liable in their in-
dividual estate for balance of issues of their respective banks,
to be recovered by the holder or holders of said issues, as in
the mode provided for the recovery of other debts in this
State; and it is hereby made the duty of every president and
cashier of their respective banks, within twenty days after
each regular election of said directors and officers to certify
under oath, that the directors and officers elected by their
respective banks hold assessable property to an amount equal
to the circulating notes of their respective banks, which said
certificate shall be approved and endorsed by the judge of the
Circuit Court of the county or city in which said bank is loca-
ted and forwarded to the Treasurer of the State, to be filed
and recorded in his office, before said directors and officers
shall proceed to discharge the duties of the offices to which
they have been respectively elected.

And be it further enacted, that any election to fill a vacancy
which may be created by death or otherwise, shall be subject
to the above restrictions in this section.
