i The system which has hitherto prevailed throughout the British
West India Colonies, of having a separate set of works for each
Isugar estate, however small, and of having the cultivation of the
cane, the manufacture of the sugar, and the distillation of the rum,
all superintended by one person, is universally admitted to be both
perfect and expensive.
To remove the difficulties in the way of an improved system, her
fajesty's Government has incorporated by Royal Charter " The
riush West India Company," with such powers as will enable it to
tford to the planters all the aid they can require. The Charter con-
era authority to establish manufactories and distilleries in any part
f the British West India Colonies : to open communication by roads
r otherwise between the plantations and manufactories ; to hire,
urchase, and let land for sugar cultivation. &c.
By the charter no call can exceed 5/. per share, and there must be
itn interval of at least three months between the calls.
Shareholders are at liberty to pay the full amount of their subscrip-
tions (or any part) before calls are made, being allowed interest
thereon not exceeding five per cent.
Cal s will only be made as the Directors are enabled to enter into
favourable arrangements for carrying oat the arrangements of the
Company ; and no arrangement will be considered favourable but
such as will secure an ample remuneration to the shareholder.
The applications for shares being numerous and satisfactory, the
allotment has commenced and will be continued until further notice.
Applications to be addressed " To the British West India Com-
p-any," 61, Moorgate-street, London, the temporary offices of the
Company, where any further information required will be readily
granted.
