Third Annual Report of the Directors of the Central
Bank of Georgia.
In conformity with the law, the Directors of the Central Bank
of Georgia, submit for the consideration of the General Assem
bly, the following report and documents, as furnishing a brief his
tory of its transactions for the past year, and exhibiting the state
of the Bank on the first Monday in this month.
Pursuing the plan of the last annual report, the Directors pro
ceed to show, first, what has been done towards the final settle
ment of the debts due to the state, and transferred to the Bank,
under the following heads :
I. Of old debts due on Notes, Bonds, Receipts, &c.
1. Fractional lots in Baldwin and Wilkinson, sold in 1807-8.
The balance of this debt, remaining to be collected, at the date
of the last report was $ 20,860 30. Nothing has been collected
during the year on the executions issued; and the opinion that ve-
17 little would he collected of this debt, is confirmed by all the
information the Directors have been able to obtain in reference
to it.
2. Fractional and square lots, sold in 1811, and forfeited lands.
The amount remaing due, is $ 1,117 29. Nothing has been col
lected of this balance, during the past year.
3. Fractional lots, sold in 1821—This debt remains as when it
was transferred to the Bank, $ 1372 53; except the sum of $35 12,
for which, receipts by the (Sheriff of Walton county, dated be
fore the Bank went into operation, were exhibited at the Bank in
July last, and a credit claimed accordingly.
4. Reserved lots in Hall, "Walton and Rabun—The balance re
ported as being'due on the 2d November last, namely, $231 50,
has been reduced by collections to the sum of $279 50.
5. Reserved lots rented in Habersham. The balance remain
ing, of this debt, to be collected, is $37 1 £.
6. Fractions rented in 1822—There remains to be collected,
the sum of $171 05.
7. Lots in Macon sold in 1824, 5, G and 7—Settlements have
been effected on this debt, to the amount of $22G9 75—There
remains to be collected, the sum of $2104 02.
8. Property rented at Fort Hawkins—The collections during
the year, amount to $5376 62. There remains unpaid $5274 Go.
9. Rent of" fractional lots west of the Ocmulgee river. The
collections amount to $1,432 00, leaving $7,732 95 yet to be
collected.
10. For the sale of the Bridge at Macon the second instalment
#2,500, was paid in March last. The debt has been reduced to
$17,300.
11. Reverted Confiscated Property. This debt, consisting
chiefly of Attorney’s receipts, remains on the Books of the Bank,
as at the date of the last report. The portion of it due on an at
torneys receipt for a certain Bond and Mortgage, is in process cf
collection", and will, it is believed be finally collected. The last
Report of the Attornej', on the subject, states that a petition to
establish a copy of the bond would be tiled at May Term of Chat
ham .Superior Court. In January, a Rule Absolute may be ob
tained.
12. Bonds for University Lands. The sum collected during
the year is $2311 62, leaving a balance yet unsettled of $6631,
91 cents.
13. Bond of the Savannah, Ogechce, and Altamaha Canal
Company. Since the 27th of March, 1829, this Bond, amount
ing to $50,000, ha3 been bearing interest at the rate of five per
cent, according to the condition annexed to it. There is, there
fore, due up to the 7th of this month $6,527 80 interest, no part
of which has been paid.
14. Bonds for Indian Goods, The balance due stands at $510,
75, consisting in part of notes returned to the Bank by collecting
officers, the parties being insolvent
15. Fractional Lots in Wayne county. The amount remain
ing due on this debt is $1,835 87. In addition to what wa3 sta
ted in the last Report, the Directors submit an extract of a letter
from the Attorney, having the management of this business and
the reply of the President, as showing its present condition.
“At the sale of fractions in Wayne county, on the first Tuesday
in January 1831, but one fraction was passed to a purchaser.
***22 fractions, ail remaining, save one, which was not adver
tised, were struck off to the State for want of bids. I wish to be
instructed, by the Board whether they will have these lands ad
vertised a second time, and a second attempt made to realize funds
from them under the executions on foreclosure, or whether they
will take a title from the Sheriff to the State. I see no probabili
ty of purchasers being obtained.”
The reply was that “there being no probability that a second
attempt to sell would result otherwise than the first, it is not thought
advisable to attempt to sell again. Neither is it deemed expedi
ent, at present, to have titles taken from the .Sheriff, as it would
he increasing expense, without any prospect of ultimate reward.
The proceedings thus iiir, will he reported to the Ceneral Assem
bly, and their instructions asked in reference to the subject In
the mean time, you will ascertain what can be done with the bonds
that were given for these lands. The lands having been offered
for sale under the foreclosure 01 the mortgages, and not having
brought the amount of purchase money, the only course left seems
to be to proceed on the Bonds.
It remains lor the General Assembly to direct what further mea
sures shall be taken in relation to these lands.
16. Fractional Lots in 7th District Baldwin county. This
debt amounting to $7 remains, as at the date of the last report,
and for the reason therein stated.
17. The Franklin Balance. The amount, reported last 3'car
as being due on this debt was $33,76G 75. The sum of $216 67
has been collected during the poet year. The Agent appointed
to bring the business to a close, has been actively engaged in the
duties of his appointment; and, in the course of another year, it is
believed, he will be able to make a final report.
The Directors beg leave, again to urge upon the General As-
sembly, the necessity of providing for a settlement of the claims ol
Col. Neabora Jones, and Adam G. Saffold, Esq. Their atten
tion was specially called to this matter in rhe Directors Report
last year, but nothing was done in the case. The Directors stated
that they did not conceive they had the power to pay either of
these claims; aruifduring the past year, nothing has occurred to
change that opinion.
a DEBTS DUE BY CERTIFICATE.
1. Lots sold in Macon in 1828.—The settlement on account
of these sales during the year amount to $ 18,777 S8.
The lots forfeited, so far as instalments had become due, were
sold on the 4th October last, pursuant to law.
The transaction may be stated thus

2 Lots in Columbus in 1828. The payments on account oT
these lots amount $20,043 91. Thy lots forfeited were sold By
the Bank, at Columbus on the 11th 12th 13th and 14th October
and produced the amount stated in the Agents report thus:

3. Indian Spring Reserve in the county of Buttv—The settlo
lncnts on account of the sales, during the past year amount tp
$1927 42. This sum includes payments on account of sales of
forfeited lots, on the 21st December 1S29, as weU as on account
of the original sales.
The lots forfeited since the sale referred to, were told by tiie,
Bank, on the 28th September last, aud produced a loss to tho
State.
8 Lots forfeited, this sum being dtf^ $321 60
3 Lots redeemed before sale $50 80

Loss by the state $16? 80
4. Fractional Lots lylngbetween the Ocmulgee and Flint Riv
ers and sold in 1823 and 4. The settlements amount to $1359*
47
5. Fractional Lots in Walton, Gwinnett, Hall, Habersham and
Rabun, sold in 1824, by the sheriff's of these counties. Tbeie
have been no settlements on account of these lots during the past
year.
6. Fractional lots in Lee, Muscogee, Troup, Coweta and Car-
roll, sold in 1828 and 9. The payment on account of these sales
amount to $56,041 02.
The bank is required by law to sell all forfeited lands at tho
Court House of the counties in which they may lie. The largo
number of fractional lots, and the great increase of the business
of the Bank paper, put it beyond the power of the Directors to
attend to the sales, since the first of July last, the time when the
act granting indulgence to purchasers expired. If it be the in
tention of the General Assembly that no farther indulgence \m
granted to pnrshasers and that these sales shall therefore,
proceed, it is necessary that the business be taken from the Bank
and placed in other hands, to carry that intention into effect.—-
For the officers of the Bank cannot attend to these sales, without
serious inconvenience to the otlier and perhaps more Important
business of the Bank.
III. STOCK—NOTES—AND BILLS OF EXCHANGE.
1. The stock held by the bank as part of its capital consist <£
the following items.
5000 shares in State Bank $100 paid 500,000
1000 shares in Planters Bank 80 “ 80,000
1000 shares in Bank of Augusta 100 “ 100,000
5000 shares in Bank of Darien - 95 “ 325,000
440 shares in Sav. Og. & Alt. Canal Ca 100 • 44,000
United States 9 per cent stoak 3,997 60
r ^ 1,052,997 60
2. Notes discounted. By reference to the document marked
(B) which accompanies this Report, it will be seen that the notes
discounted by the Bank, for money lent, & in settlement of debt*
due the State & transferred to the Bank, amount to $811,288 41.
-The remarks made in the last report, in relation to the character
of these notes, the Directors confidently believe might be safely
repeated here, with a slight qualification, made necessary by the
commercial disasters which occurred in Macon during the lust
summer. The amount put in jeopardy by these events is much
smaller than it was at first supposed it would be; not probably ex
ceeding $2334 00. The notes are in suit, and the Directors have
the consolation that no part of tliis loss, should it eventually turn
out to be a loss—arises from notes for money lent by the Bank,
but altogether from notes given, according to the privilege secured
by It-w to purchasers o; public property, for the sum3 due for that
property; which notes, at the time of the discount, were deemed
perfectly good.
The document marked (C) shows the apportionment made In
February last, and the distribution of the funds, on accommoda
tion notes, according to that apportionment, so far as they have*
been applied for by the people. The information obtained from
the enumeration of the citizens in 1830, enabled the Directors to-
deal with the counties more equitably than in the previous ap
portionment.
3. Bills of Exchange—It was shewn in the last report, that rits
the 2d November, Bills of Exchange were running to maturity to
the amount of $86,477 57. These were all paid at matuntv.
After the calls for discounts on accommodation notes, under the
