AUDITORS' REPORT.
To THE PROPRIETORS OF THE BANK or LONDON'.
In the performance of our duties as your auditors, we have made
our usual investigation into the affairs of the Bank, and having
examined the various accounts and securities, we report that we
find them correct.
We have much pleasure in adding that during the past year the
Bank has made material progress in the most important branches
of its business, particularly in the increase of current accounts ;
the amount on deposit account has somewhat diminished, owing
to the low rate of interest which has prevailed for some months
past.

(Signod)

Wo may add that every aid has been afforded us in our investiga.
tion by the officers of the Bank.
