TO the PROPRIETORS of EAST INDIA
s rocs. •
LADIES AND GENTLEmsx,—llad it pleased Parliament to preserve
the present constitution of the Court of Directors of the East Ino
con-
ia
Company, I should, whilst honoured with your support, have
tinued to be a member of that body so long as Providence vouch-
safed to me health and unimpaired faculties.
But the Act or last session has prescribed that the number of
Directors shall be immediately reduced to fifteen, exclusive of three,
to be named by the Crown, ae,d that the first three vacancies in the
11 teen shall be also filled up by her Majesty. Although from the
kind feeling manifested towards me by my colleagues, I could with
reasonable confidence have offered myself for election as one of the
fifteen, yet I must confess that at my advanced age it would
to not
your be
satisfactory to my feelings to occupy a pos tion so important
interests, which might otherwise be more permanently filled, and
not less beneficially.
The Act has imposed upon the nirectors and ex-Directors the
selection nom among themselves of the reduced number. This is a
task which I would be desi ous of avoiding ; but as a public man, long
connected with India and deeply interested in its good government,
I cannot reconcile it to my sense of propriety to shrink from the per-
formance of this important duty, however painful and invidious. I
shall therefore remain until the close of the official year, to asslstrray
colleagues in their endeavour to make the best selection of members
for the new Court
Permit me to express my deep sense of gratitude for the confidence
With which you have so long honoured me. It hang been
hout my
endeavour faithfully to execute my trust. I resign wit
Irhet, having always felt a deep interest in the duty
tud it involves, and
all, to my latest hour, cherish an earnest solicie tor the pro-
sperity of our magnificent empire in the East, and the happiness and
Welfare of its vast population.
I have the honour to be.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your faithful humble servant,
JOHN LOCH.

branches, and offers to all classes of society most important advan-

children, the amount assured, free from probate or legacy duty, ur
any other charges whatever.
Nine-tenths of the profits are divided every five years to assurers
of three years' standing, and upwards of 15,0001. has already been
appropriated in reversionary bonuses.
Policies indisputable.

Prospectuses and full particulars may be had on application at the
