But ID truth, so defective are the books of the baiAt and so im-
perfopt th^ information which the officers now in charge .of (he

Elicit confidence ; and from other facts which it is unnecessary
ere to detail, the belief is entertained that there are somewhere
bills to a still larger amount, not included in the above estimate.
The above exhibits, of the nature of the assets of the institutioQ
and the. probable amount of its liabilities, will enable each indi-
yidual to form bis own opinion upon the solvency of the bank,ia
