PULLINGER AND THE STOCK EXCHANGE'

The rePort of the Stock Exchange Committee on the
Pullinger case was issued yesterday.- It states that the
information conveyed by them to the directors of the
*Union Bank has enabled them to realise valuable asset'
placed by Pullinger in the name of other persons. COlll-
- is made that, although, "immediately after the
discovery of Pulling,er's frauds, Messrs. Scrimgeour corn'
municated to the directors that they had carried on a
speculative account for him, it was not until a month
afterwards, and that through a different channel, that
the Stock Exchange learned this fact. Regret ie
expressed that six firms should have carried on specula-
tions on account of ri clerk in a banking house, thus
compromising the character of the Stock Exchange.
