ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

The object of this Company is the purchase and exten-
sion of the sugai plantations and the business of tho well-
known firms of Messrs. Cavan, Lubbock, and Co., and
Messrs. William Burnley Hume and Co.
The estates and real securities to be transferred to the
Company by the Vendors are in Demerara, Berbice, Trini-
dad, and Barbadoes. The estates are fertile, well situate,
and in a high state of cultivation. They are provided
with an ample supply of Coolie, Chinese, Portuguese, and
Creole labour.
The imports of the two firms in sugar alone have for
the last three years averaged over 46,000 hogsheads per
annum.
The Vendors will transfer to the Company, free of any
claim for goodwill, their large and profitable Commission
and Agency Business, which has yielded in net commis-
sions, on the average of the past three years, an amount
exceeding £BO,OOO per annum, and is capable of being
greatly extended.
The terms of the purchase have been discussed and
settled with the Vendors, after very careful examination
into the returns and profits of each firm, and after obtain-
ing independent valuations and reports on the several pro-
perties. Those inquiries were instituted and conducted by
Messrs. Chadwick, Adamson, M'Kenna, and Co., and by
Directors entirely unconnected with the two firms, before
they agreed to join the proposed Company.
The Vendors are only to be paid the mere value, thus
ascertained, of the Estates, Plant, Machinery, Stores, Stock,
and Advances, which will amount to about £675, 000 ; and
by instalments, as follows :
£225,000, or one-third, in 10,000 Shares of the Com-
pany, to be credited as paid-up to the ex-
tent of £22 10s. per Share.
£225,000, or one-third, in Debentures, bearing interest
at 5 per cent.
£225,000, or the balance, in cash by instalments in two
years.
To meet the above payments and provide the requisite
working capital it is estimated that the calls will be re-
quired to be made as follows:
December, 1865, £5 per share (being the amount of
payment on deposit and allotment).
April, 1866, £2 10s. per share.
July, 1866, £2 10s. per share.
January, 1867, £5 per share.
January, 1868, £5 per share.
The Directors confidently estimate that the net profits of
the business of the Company, taking into consideration the
revenue from the real estate, for the ensuing five years,
will be equivalent to from fifteen to twenty per cent. per
annum on the paid-up capital of the Company.
Applications for Shares may be made in the form an-
nexed, and must be accompanied by the payment of £1 per
Share to the Bankers of the Company.
Prospectuses and Forms of Applications for Sharesmay
be had on application to the Bankers, Solicitors, Auditors,
or Stockbrokers, or at the Temporary Offices of the Com-
pany.
Payments of deposit may be made to the Bankers of the
Company, or at the Branches of the National Provincial
Bank of England ; and the Branches of the Royal Bank of
Scotland.
