adding a Savings' Bank to their Institution.
QUESTIONS.
Whether there is anything in
the Constitution and objects of
the Westminster Loan and In-
vestment Joint-StockCompany,
as stated in the Company's profi
spectus herewith sent, which
would be in Law an objection,
or impediment to the Com-
pany's having, and earring on
the business of a Savings'
Bank, as sated in this case,
and in said prospectus, and by,
and under the came" Savings'
Bank ?"

ANSWERS.

We consider there is repro-
f vision in any statute which pre
• vents the Westminster Loan
, and Investment Joint• Stock
• Company front carrying on the
'business of a Savings' Bank,
as stated in the prospectus, or
from their using the name, pro-
ivided the public are not in the
' remotest degree misled, or the
, Depositors induced to believe
, the Savings' Bank of the Com-
' pany is established and carried
on under the sanction or ign--
rantee of Government, at di -
rected by the 9 Geo. IV., cap.
92, sec. 57, or any other statute
;relative to Loan Societies or
;Savings' Banks.
We also consider there is no
,provision in the 9th Geo. IV.,
:cap. 92, which CO3ITELS the
:Company to enrol themselves
iaccording to the directions of
;the said Act.

Whether there is anything in
the letter or spirit of the statute,
9 Geo. IV., cap. 92, or of any'
other statute er law by which!
the Westminster Loan and .111-
vestment Joint- Stock Company
so constituted and operating, as,

wise conform to, and become!
subject to the provisions of the'
said statute of the 9 Geo. IV.,
