Chap. 83, Laws of Ohio, 1818-19, 1st Sess. 190-99.
Section 5 of this act will give the student the spirit of this autocratic law. This section made it the "duty" of the State agent collecting the tax, after demand on and refusal of the bank officers to pay the tax, if he cannot readily find in the bank offices the necessary amount of money, "to go into each and any other room or vault ... and to every closet, chest, box or drawer in such banking house, to open and search," and to levy on everything found. (Ib. 193.)
