And Ninety•two Proprietors.
-At a General Meeting of the• Proprietors,. held at the Court-room
of the Banking-house, 2, Princes-street, Mansion-house, on WED-
NESDAY, the
.14th of July, 1847, the following report was read by
the Secretary:—
The Directors have much pleasure in submitting the Eighth
Annual Report of the affairs of the Bank to the Proprietors, and
congratulating them on the result of the business during the last
year, a period marked by unusual commercial pressure.
"It will be seen from the accounts now presented, that the Net
Profits of the year amount to 47,5931. 16s. 7d. Ample provision has
been made for bad debts, and the Proprietor* will observe that
25,145/. Is. 10{1. has been paid to customers for- interest on their
current and deposit accounts.
" The Directors consider that they are justified by this prosperous
result in increasing the Rate of Dividend, and they have therefore
declared a Dividend for the last six months of 3% per Cent., which,
with 2% per Cent. paid in January, will make the Dividend 6 per
Cent., clear of Income Tax, for the whole year. The Directors have
the fullest confidence that this rate will be permanently maintained,
witheut either trenching- on the Reserved Fund, or affecting those
principles on:which the Bank was originally founded.
"After providing for the Dividend (now amounting to 25,374/. for
the year), and appropriating 5001. as usual in gradual liquidation of
the preliminary expenses, there remains a surplus profit of
21,7241. 16*. 7d., of which 16,696/. Os. sd. has been tarried to the
Reserved Fund, now amounting to 40,000/. sterling invested in Go-
vernment -ecurities, and the balance of 5,028/.lls. 2d. has been car-
ried to Profit and Loss New Account. .

`.` The Directors have considered the subject of the appropriation
of the reserved shares, and have resolved that they shall be offered
in the first instance to the Shareholderi only, in rateable proportion
t 6 the shrtreS belU by them, and•on such•terms as shall be equiva-
lent to •a liberal bonus; and the • Proprietors may rely on the
Directors giving ample. notice. of, and selecting such a period for.
this appropriation, aa shall be roost desirable for the interests of the
Bank and advantageous to the Proprietors individually."
In accordance with fife provisions of the beed of Settlement, the
following Ditectors "retire froth Oleo • by rotation, viz. : —Peter
Lanrie, Esq. ; James• Farquhar, • Esq. ; William Petrie Craufurd,
Esq. ; and Peter Laarie,• Esq., and James Farquhar, Esq., being
