TAVENTY-SEVFNTH REPORT of the UNION
BANK of LONDON.
At a Half-yearly Meeting. of the Proprietors, held at the
Cotrt-room of the Banking- house,2, Princes-street, Mansion
}rouse, on Wednesday, the 15th of January, 1562,
NOIITHALL LAURIE, Esq., Governor, in the Chair,
The following Report was read by the Secretary:—
The Directors have much satisfaction in reporting that the
net profi• s of the Bank for tall six months ending 31st Decem-
ber last, after paynknt of
£83,413 18s. 6d. for interest paid and due to customers on
their Current and Deposit Accounts), are £88,372 14s. Id.,
'which, with the sum of £90,087165. 2d*, brought forward from
30th of June last, amount together to £178,460 10s. 3d.
The Directors now declare a dividend of 12s. per share, clear
of Income-lax, fit the six months ending 31st December last,
amounting to the sum of £36,000, which will leave a balance
Of £142,430 10s. 3d. for appropriation.
This sum will enable the Proprietors to replace the .C120,(00
debited to Capital Account, by the resolution of the General
Meeting on the 11th July, 1860 ; and the Directors anticipate
the concurrence of this General Meeting in the recommenda-
tion which they now make, that the Capital Account be
credited with the sum of £120,000 debited as above. The
adoption of this recommendation will leave a balance of
£.!2,460 10s. 3d. fbr appropriation at the end of the financial
year in July next.
Your Directors feel assured that the Proprietors will share
with them in their sincere regret at the loss they have sus-
tained in the decease of their late esteemed Governor, Sir
Peter Laurie, who presided over this institution since its
foundation ; contributing materially by his high character to
its early success, and never ceasing to take the deepest inte-
rest in its continued prosperity. Personally, your Directors
have to lament, not only the loss of a colleane. whose sound
ii.idt!ment and singleness of purpose guided their delibera-
tions and command d their confidence—but of a friend whose
genial frankness and kindliness of heart had won their sin-
cere and respectful attachment.
In conformity with the Provisions of the Deed of Settle-
ment, the Directors have elected Thomas Augu-tus Gibb
l'sq., of 72, Old Broad-street, to fill the vacancy omasioned by
the decease of the lamented Governor.
