- The charter for the failing Hallowell and Augusta Bank expired in 1812, but was extended by the state of Massachusetts until 1816 so that all remaining business affairs could be settled. After the bank's directors moved to liquidate assets in favor of stockholders (at the expense of noteholders), the legislature launched an investigation, and the affected noteholders filed lawsuits in an attempt to recover their losses.
