The foregoing Report having been read by the Secretary, the fol-
lowing resolutions were carried unanimously :-
1. That the Report be received and adopted, and printed for the
use of the Proprietors.
2. That many of the Proprietors this day assembled at the Annual
Meeting of the Company having received, during the last half-year,
various printed circulars, signed G. Sturt, and many of them having
also received anonymous letters to the same effect, and
extractsea from
such circulars having obtained publicity through the f the
public press, declare—
I. That from the information always afforded by the Directors at
the Half-yearly Meetings of the Company, and particularly after the
explanations given this day, they are satisfied the statements in such
letters, whether printed or anonymous, are both false and malicious.
11. That they cannot too strongly express their indignation at these
unprincipled attempts to injure the Bank in the estimation of the
public, by attacking the public and private characters of the Direc-
tors, and those of several of the officers of the establishment, by per-
sons not connected with the Company, and whose dismissal (or
forced resignation) as officers is most amply justified by their subse-
quent conduct.
111. That they highly approve the conduct of the Directors in
leaving such publications unanswered, except at the periodical meet-
ings of the Company, and that they be requested to rely on the in-
tegrity and honourable feelings of the Proprietors for support against
such unprincipled attacks. •
IV. That they deeply regret to hear that several private bankers,
In the districts in which the Company haa branches, have been active
distributors of Mr. Sturt's letters, but believe that no gentleman,
after this declaration from those best able to judge of their baseness,
will continue to participate in their circulation. And—
Lastly. That they hereby convey to the absent Shareholders, and
the public, their entire confidence in the Directors, and in the ability,
energy, and zeal, with which they have conducted the affairs of the
Company ; and their deep regret, that in the honest discharge of their
duty to the Shareholders, they should have been exposed, collectively
and individually, to the accusations of Mr. Sturt and his accomplices.
3. That a Dividend at the.rate of 51. per cent. per annum be de-
clared upon the Capital Stock of the Company, clear of income-tax,
for the past half-year, payable on and after Saturday, the 10th day
