TO THE ORIGINAL SHAREHOLDERS OF THE

IMPERIAL BANK OF ENGLAND.

WE respectfully request your attendance at a MEETING,
to be held at the large Room at the York Hotel, in
King-street, Manchester, on MONDAY, the twenty-eighth
day of October instant. at the hour of Eleven in the Fore-
noon, to take into consideration the following propositions,
which we purpose then to submit to you, being of opinion
that they will conduce to the arrangement of the affairs of
the Bank in the most speedy and least expensive manner pos-
sible, namely :
First. That the Original Shareholders shall, under protest,
pay £5 or £6 per Share, within tourteen days after the Meet-
ing, into a Bank in Manchester, to be approved by them, in
the joint names of one of themselves, one of the Principal
Claimants, one of the Inspecting Committee, and one of the
Directors of the Bank, subject to be paid out on the checque
of any three of them, of whom the Member of the Committee
of Inspection shall be one.
Second, That, in case such a number of the solvent Share-
holders as the Inspecting Committee shall deem influential,
shall neglect or refuse to pay such call, such Shareholders
shall be subject to be forthwith proceeded against, under the
direction of the Committee of Inspection, in such way as
they are or shall be advised, for the purpose of making good
the claim of the Creditors of the Bank, and to compel them
to contribute to the loss of the present Shareholders.
Third, That the expense of such proceedings shall be de-
frayed out of the above common fund, and by contribution
from the Claimants, by a poundage on their respective claims.

. . .
Fourth, That, in case a due proportion of the present de-
ficiency of the assets of the Bank be not thus raised to the
satisfaction of the Inspecting Committee, the money so paid
in, or the residue, shall be disposed of by the resolution of a
majority of the contributing Shareholders, to be afterwards
convened; but, if a sufficient sum be raised, it shall be appli-
cable to the discharge of the deficiency of the assets, under
the direction of the Inspecting Committee.

IMPERIAL BANK OF ENGLAND.

The name of " John Eyton," of Nantwich, in the county
of Chester, having been published in the Manchester papers,
in certain lists purporting to be copies of the returns made
on oath by the manager of the above bank, and registered at
the stamp office ; I give public notice, and declare, that I
never applied for any shares in the said bank; but merely in-
quired on what terms the directors would exchange some
shares I held in the Northern and Central Bank for shares in
r the Imperial Bank. Such exchange, lam ppy to say, was
never effected, as letters in my possession disputablyt prove.
I suppose that, in consequence of such in uiry, the manager
of the bank has taken the liberty to insert my name in such
returns. I declare, that I am not, nor ever was, a share-
holder in the said Imperial Bank, nor ever in my way autho-
rised the insertion of my name in the books of the said bank,
or in the lists of shareholders. And I shall hold all parties
liable to me for damages for any loss or injury I may sustain,
at any time hereafter, by the unauthorised use of my name
as such alleged shareholder, or by my being subjected to any
action, or suit, or other proceeding, either alone or jointly
with the public officer of the said bank, or other person or
persons, or in relation to the affairs of the said bank in any-
wise.—Witness my hand, this twenty-first day of October,
1839. JOHN EYTON.
