The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and re
secousta, said the bank bad been in operation only ten 11
months, having commenced at a period when a large number 14
of new banks weft springing into existence, and when point-
liar care was requisite in the conduct of banking operations.
Having had 180,0001. banded over to them when the g
bank was formed, they had increased it by 100.0001. g
(Cheers.) He was convinced that the course I
pursued in making the call was a wise one. 1
A large number of new accounts had been since added, the
business of the balk rested on a sound foundation, and they
might safely look forward to increased prosperity. The two
West-end branches had been worked at a profit. In alluding I
to the Woolwich branch, he observed that it was not in. '
teoded to establish any more branches. The divided now
to be declared should be regarded as interest for money
pending the period when the bank might be expected to re-
alise a fair rate of profit. In conclusion, he urged the
proprietors present to endeavour to bring new accounts
to the bank, and acknowledged the great value of the ser-
vices of the company's staff.
Mr. Lawaxtrca, in woodier the motion, expressed his
satisfaction at the result announced and the great economy
which distinguished the management.
The motion was then adopted unanimously ; and the re-
tiring directors lad auditors having been re-elected, thanks
were voted to the chairman and Ins colleagues in the direc-
tion, the manager (Mr. Terry), and the other officers of the
bank.
