INDUS FLOTILLA DEBENTURES._
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR TEEM? BE-
DEMPTIOIV ?

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—It has just been brought to my notice that
your impression of the 17th instant contains a
paragraph with the above heading.
Your confidence has been grossly abused by the
writer of that paragraph, as it does not contain a
word of truth.

As I happen to be the chairman of the company
whose debentures are alluded to, I beg to be allowed
to give my answer to the question, " Who is
responsible for their redemption ?

On the face of the Debenture Bond of the Indus
Steam Flotilla are the following words—" Payment
of principal and interest guaranteed by the Secretary
of State for India in Council," and this is authen-
ticated by the signature of the Under-Secretary of
State.

I have nothing further to add, but to request the
favour of an early insertion of this.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
W. P. ANDREW, Chairman.
Indus Steam Flotilla Office, Gresham House,
Old Broad-street, 25th October, 1861.
