Mr. WALKER, M.P., on takitg the Chair, Mated thal
the meeting was held for the purpose of enabling th:
Directors to lay before the .••_hareholders the proceete
ings of the Directors and the Bank for the WS
twelve months. During that period extraord:nnri
pressure had taken place upon the money. rairkotl
and great depression had been experienced in trso,
Chest matters had caused great anxiety to the Dia!,
tors, bat he was happy to say that, in consequenee,w!
their determination to pursue the principle of legitilno
banking, without looking to extreme profits, their trans;'
Actions had been most successful. Great caution had heet.„-i
exercised by the Directors in all their transactions? ",.."o;
there were two circumstances connected with thuv7f
transactions to which he wished to call the alSeir.
tion of the Proprietors. The Directors had lent s'
stun of 10,000/ to a customer on the deposit of Exel
tuer bills. Befere that loan was made the Direct%
ad taken every precaution to ascertain the genuineness'
the bills ; they had applied at the Exchequer-dfil
and they had been assort d by the officials there that
,hey were paid. It had, however, since turned out that
' -.elle of them were spurious ; those bills, however, we's
„„de,. :!..3 course of investigation, and he was in Wen
that such SV:t :!`%:. bona fide nature Of the transaction 0 _
the part of the Bank, that they would be no lose
(Hear, hear.) Another circumstance to which:o,
a.ished to call their attention was the suppoSed Cl_
an individual to a considerable amount, 11._° o
!nippy to say that with respect to that ct,LPlola
Nunproinise had been made, which he hoped.Wer
be satisfactory to the Proprietors. He was ha to
.o say that the di+ idol(' which the 1 irectors prows
• make was five per cent., which he hoped the Prorel
.onsidering the depression of trade, would think P
dent and ample.—(llear, hear )
The Report of the proceedings of the last teifitg:,
aas then read, from which it appeared - tact
,Lfter paying all expenses, there was a surPlus,,4
7.203/. fel. the payment of the dividends a.„10,_
other expenses ; that the payment of the diiid7
ould consume upwards of 4,0001., and that a 504
2,392/. would be left available 14 the rebate 011,a
current bills, and to add to the guarantee fund..
Report also stated that the branch in Henrietta4l74
was going on most satisfactorily.
A VitoeitrETon, in. moving the adoption of the-Re4
observed that he looked upon it as most mtisfactPl9,tbe.
showing that the greatest care had b€en takeoll •
management of the Bank.—(Hear.)
The motion having been seconded, was deelare
the Chairman to be carried unanimously. 406
A PROPRIETOR moved the thanks of the Shareboito
to the CAetirman, Deputy Chairman, and the Direaa,di
and Opt s sun of 1,000/. should be placed at
disposal.

The CHAIRMAN observed that the province . to
Back had always been caution. They were anti:lls
pursue the course of. legitimate banking only. If, rid
ever, a good investment for their money could be discoveroto
the Directors would have no hesitation in coming 05;
the Proprietors, and asking them for another c
(Hear, hear.) At the present moment, however, hyeti
not think they could, with propriety, ask the PrOrr.
fwr further calls.
The motion was then agreed to.
The four Directors who went out by rotatione•
then re-elected.
Thanks were then unanimously voted to Mr.
and Mr. Barnewell, the managers of the banks in )i.ooPrif
gate-street and Henrietta- street, for the excellent
in which they had managed those establishments.
c.'ty
Dr. BOWRING wished to call the attention ._;eit
Directors to foreign credits. He thought that.
good might be done by adopting some course "
respect to it.
The CHAIRMAN admitted that the suggestion cfrba
Ron. and Learned Gentleman was a valuable one, 10,0
could assure him that it would meet with the atteo?
of the Directors. He believed that the best ceC 10
travellers could have was in depositing their monk
Joint-Stock Banks. • *
