Overend, Gurney, and Company.

At a meeting of the creditors of 0 VEREND, GURNEY,
and Co. compromise with the shareholders was de-
nounced, immediate liquidation of full claims, with
interest insisted on, and a motion carried for a fresh
call of £lO on the shareholders, to be urged on the
liquidators, and if refused by them, an appeal to be
made to the Court. People would scarcely imagine
they were reading the proceedings of a body of
English creditors, urging claims against a body of
English shareholders, who by a legal fraud were al-
lvged to be liable for debts contracted by others.
Had the shareholders been a set of spendthrifts who
had been fraudulently living on these creditors, the
proceedings, as reported, could scarcely have been
more harsh. Most of the people then assembled
had long dealt with OVEREND, GURNEY, and Co.,
under the impression that it was the first and most
stable discount-house in the world. For the last

Lew years of the existence of the old firm, the money
deposited there by these gentlemen had virtually
been lost to them ; and had the concern stopped, as
it ought to have done, they would have received from
the assets but a beggarly pittance. The gigantic
fraud which has so indelibly disgraced the
English commercial name, and shaken all belief in
reports and statements of directors—no matter how
high their standing—substituted for the insolvents
a solvent debtor, and by the ruin of hundreds of
`,rusting persons filled up the breach of insolvency,
which the creditors now pass, on the bodies of
victims. In those days,_ some people had to
Lose several millions of sovereigns. The people
who would then have lost the money, were the con-
stituents and supporters of the house. By the
action of the partners, aided by some of their
friends and allies—by concealment and deception—
another body of victims was substituted. That the
old creditors should accept their good fortune, it
would not be unreasonable to suppose ; but it is
reasonable that under such circumstances they would
do so with expressions of regret, and with the ut-
most consideration and forbearance. Against this
it may be urged, that the shareholders specu-
lated for a profit, accepting a risk, and
endeavoured, when these speculations proved
bad, to evade the liability. This does not,
however, fairly state the case, for it omits the very
essence of the shareholders' argument. They assert,
and the fact is conceded, that the contract was based
on a fraud, while the creditors of the old firm volun-
tarily, and without any fraud being practised on
them, entrusted their money to the safe keeping of
the company. Great efforts are being made in high
quarters to whitewash the transaction which has
ruined so many innocent people, to bury the
dead out of sight, to gloss over acts which
will not bear the light, and to allow the
respectable gentlemen whose names have hitherto
been such a source of profit to themselves, and of
ruin to every one else, to begin a fresh career.
But the ghost of these transactions refuses to be
laid, and in spite of the Times the unwelcomein-
truder is constantly turning up. It would most as-
suredly be better for all parties if the fatal distrust
which has seized on the public could be lessened,
and if the lesson of caution would remain, while the
horrible experiences were forgotten. But the dis-
hy

)nesty has, we fear, been too general—the
ruin too wide. It is not by removing
the convict WILKINSON from the cell he
has so richly earned, and replacing him in his
luxurious home, that this effect will be produced.
Other directors, who feel that they merit a similar
reward, may hold, that the law in this instance has
been too severe, and that the baker who hung him-
self when all he possessed, was lost, in the failure of
the Joint Stock Discount Company, was a fool.
We confess, however pitiable an object the luxurious
director in his convict cell may be, that we sympa-
thise more with his victim, the baker. The baker
is but a type of ruined thousands. Men may talk
glibly on the floor of the Commons, who have
spread something of the devastation of conquerors
on their way to that place. Those who admire
successful ruffianism in all its phases, may pay their
tribute of admiration to these people. But our
thoughts go to the homeless wanderer, made
a beggar by the fabrics, whose only base, were the
base lies which entrapped the public, into the pro-
moter's designs. The lower the engulphed
wretch sinks, the less likely is he to be seen
or heard ; while his deceiver may float
buoyantly and gaily on the surface. Many English
golfs might profitably be cleared of their present

and who have never received money for riding ; mem-
bers of the Croxton Park Club 51b extra; heats, 2 miles.
To show on the morning of the race at the Stand.

Although our sympathies are with the share-
holders in the OVEREND-GJRNEY case, we can allow
for a momentary irritation on the part of the credi-
tors in view of the determined stand male by the

matter, which in any case must result—of blighted
hopes, and broken hearts.—Anglo-American Times.
