your directors, and wiq be continued ; and,
unless any unfoi:aikn circumstances should take
place, we have a coi-,fident noose and expectation that.
before we have the ple:;sure of meeting you again we
shall he able to it tease the dividends upon the capi-
tal of the Bank.—(ll,ar, er a r.) I v, id now move the
adoption of the report.
Mr. Toomas SUEWELL wished to inquire, whether
proper provision had been made for any outstanding
bad debts. He wished also to state, that be' hoped
Feat care would be exercised by the directors in in-
creasing the amount of the dividends, because he
felt it to be essential to the security of the concern
that the reserve fund should be kept upon a sound
foundation.
The CHatammi--The amount of bad debts has
been written off, as far as could be ascertained, and
provision has also been made for those debts which
may be considered as of a doubtful character.
Mr. WHEELER seconded thy adoption of the report,
which was put by the Chairman, and carried unani-
mously,
The CHAIRMAN said the business of the day had
been brought to a close, and all that remained for him
to do was to thank them for their kind attendance.
Mr. BACON said he thought it was their duty to
Pass a vote of thanks to the Chairman and di-
rectors for their labours during the pa.t year.—
(Cheers.) The report which they had just
heard read must have been exceedingly sa-
tisfactory to those who had watched the pro-
gress of the Bank as he had, and, therefore, he
Considered that it was their duty to pass a cordial vote
of thanks to them for their labours. He held in his
hand a list of the profits realised by the Bank
'luring the last eight years, and he fund that they
were much greater than in any previous years; and
this, they must bear in mind, had occurred during a
Period of unexampled suffering in Ireland, when they
alight have expected that the profits would
have been reduo d, instead of increased.. With re-
'Peet to_the increased dividend he wished to make an
observation, namely, that it was a matter which
might be safely left in the hands of the directors.—
(liesr, hear.) Before they had a reserve fund of
50,0001. he should have thought it inexpedi:..nt to
!Ilse the dividend ; but when they had a reserve fund
ofS°'°°°/- (Cheers)—and when the interest of
money was much higher than it had been
fgt.- some time past, he thought that they
had
make the proposed increase ; but as he
a'
said, he thought this was a question which
ththe idirectors were quite competent to settle.— (Cheers.)
ank'therefOre, great pleasure in moving a vote 01
to the Chairman and other directors for their
exertions in behalf of the institution.
331 Sir BURTON MACNAMARA begged to second the
LI". He did so as a person who had lived in
I: 4,11 d during the crisis which had come upon her;
ofuvi consequently witnessed the operations
the the banks in that country, and could
abirefclet confirm the statement of the Honour-
's Proprietor, that by good management the
profit of the Bank had increased during a period
the tnost unexampled suffering. He had watched
in
operations of the Bank, and he was, therefore,
a .
Position to state (and it gave him grea
P'eaSUre
their to do so) that none could hare discharged
duties better than the officers of the Bank in
ace's' He hoped the directors would take into
ici4llese:llllt the inferior officers of the Bank, and, COIl•
.rlng the high price of provisions, increase their
'l.
T
e motion was then carried unanimously.
