The current accounts and deposits held by the London
Joint-stock Banks on the 30th of Juno last, amounted to a
total of £47,315,356, being £5,407,772 more than the total
at the corresponding period of last year; there is, therefore,
ample room for others, and especially for one which will
secure all the benefits of the existing Joint-stock Banks, and
at the same time positively limit the liability of every share-
holder therein. And with regard to the customers, as it is
not intended to call up more than £25 per share of the sub-
scribed capital of the bank, the remaining £75 will form an
ample guarantee to them.
The " Times," in its Money Article of the 2d February,
1860, with reference to the Bank of Manchester, the con-
stitution of which had been recently changed to limited
liability under the new acts, remarked :—" At a meeting of
the Bank of Manchester yesterday a very satisfactory
account was given of the results of registering under limited
liability. That step was adopted in July last, and the
balance-sheet now presented for the past half-year showed
that the deposits have increased, and that while the general
condition of the bank has improved, the shares have become
more widely diffused, the augmentation in the number of
holders being 40 per cent. It is believed, likewise, that the
proprietary now includes many persons of wealth and pru-
dence, who would have avoided all commitments of an
undefined character. At the same time the marketability
of the shares and also their value have been favourably
influenced."
At the Half-yearly Meeting of the same Bank, held in
January last, it was shown that since the Company had
become limited the shareholders had very nearly doubled
in number, while the current accounts had increased 35 per
cent. and the lodgment accounts 69 per cent., with a cor-
responding increase in the amount deposited.
The Liverpool Commercial Banking Company, originally
established with unlimited liability, have also taken advan-
tage of the new principle, and the following is an extract
from the Report presented at the General Meeting held on
the 9th of March last :—" It is in a high degree pleasing to
the Directors to be enabled to state, as they confidently do,
that the principle of ' limited liability' adopted by the Bank
has so fully justified their hopes. The general business of the
Bank has never been better; no branch of it has suffered ;
on the contrary, new and valuable accounts are added,
bringing an increase of business, while some substantial and
valuable proprietors, who objected to hold shares under
unlimited liability,' have joined the Bank as shareholders;
the number of proprietors is increased, and the price of the
Bank's shares shows that they are considerably enhanced
in public estimation."
The Directors, Auditors, and other Officers will be re-
quired to make the usual dechiration of secrecy.
Powers are taken in the articles of association to estab
lish branch banks in the metropolis and the provinces, as
soon as the business operations of the Bank justify its ex-
tension.
