The reason assigned for the refusal to be sworn, is parallel with that which has been considered that, as corporators and Directors, they are pat tics to the proceedings of the House, and therefore not bound to give testimony. It is a humane rule, to he found in the criminal law, which declares that no man shall be compelled to criminate himself, and

This reason, it is plain, cannot have had much w k;hlin producing the decision of the Roard.

Thus, your Committee conclude, the just pow er and authority of the House of Representatives have been set at naught, delied, and contemned. Thus, the charter of the Rank cf the United Stales has been deliberately violated, by repeated refusals of the Directors of that corporation to submit their books and papers to the. inspection of this Committee.

i litis have the just expectations of the llou-e and of their conslitutcnts been disappointed, and all means of obtaining the best and most nccarrate information concerning operations of a controlling moneyed institution, been cut off and denied.

It remains fur the House and the country to
