That the debtor shall pay when the time agreed on has expired.

V Thcj State of Norths Carolina, by every principle of hotiorand justice, vyould be bound to guarantee to the State Bank the solvency of jits debtors. Let it be recollected that tlie State Bank is- jno party) to our act her consent is neither asked for nor permitted;' Your' Judges and Com missioners are lyoiir agents, overwhose acts, the Oank has no con trol.
