THE LONDON JOIN T-STOCK BANK.
At a GENERAL MEETING of the SHARE-

an aary, 1844,
GEORGE TAYLER, Esq., Chairman.

Sir George Carroll, Ald.
William Miller Christy, Esq.
Wiliam Curling, Esq.
John P. Darthez, Jun., Esq.
Robert Farrand, Esq.
, George Holgate Foster, Esq.

John C. Lochner, Esq.
THE MANAGER—George Pollard, Esq.
• SOLICITORS—Messrs. Tilson and Squance.
The following Report was presented :
Although the value of money, during the last half year has
'continued so low as to keep the profits of banking beneath their
ordinary level, yet the Directors are gratified in being able to
.present an account for that period, which they have no doubt
'will convey to the meeting very satisfactory evidence, under such
.eiraamstances, of the sound and prosperous condition of the Bank.
, After discharging all the expenses of the establishment, and
Makin an ample allowance for bad debts, there remains a net
cum of 16,4701. 16e. Bd., arising out of the profits of the half-
Year, to be applied to a dividend upon the paid-up capital of the
Company.
The Directors have thought it right to make the dividend
after the rate of six pounds per centum per annum, which will
require them to take 1,5291. 3s. 4d. from the Guarantee Fund;
but they are happy to call the attention of the Shareholders to
the fact that, notwithstanding this deduction, that fund will
ulffer very little diminution—the half-year's interest, which has
b•en added to it, being nearly equal to the sum withdrawn.
By the rotation which has been established under the Deed
cf.., Settlement, Alderman Sir George Carroll, John Peter
aiir the z , Jun., Esq., Sir John M'Taggart, Bart., John Chris-
t°, pber Lochner, Esq., and George Scholefield, Esq., retire on
this occasion from the Direction, but offer themselves to the
Shareholders for re-election, and are the only candidates for the
'leant seats.
111,011 reviewing.the proceedings of the Bank at the close of
me first seven years of its existence, a period marked by extra-
ordinary fluctuations andlnancial difficulties, the Directors are
confident that the Shareholders will join them in feelings of
Patisfaetion at the general result of its operations ; and, looking
!,,t the improving aspect of commercial affairs in this country,
they eonsider themselves justified, not only in indulging an ex-
Pectation that a more active and profitable employment may be
found for the funds of the Bank than has recently been practi-
table, but also in anticipating for this important undertaking
additional extension and success. The dividend will be paid
On and after the 17th instant.
Dit The preceding- Report having been read to the meeting by
Secretary, a dividend for the half-year, ending the 31st of
was last, after the rate of 6i. per centum per annum
was declared by the Chairman.
