PROSPECTUS OF A JOINT STOCK BANKING.
• COMPANY,
TO BE CALLED " THE BURY AND HEYWOOD BANKING

•
COMPANY."
£30,000, IN 39 SHARES OF .ElO EACII

FTIHE rapid increase and prosperity of Joint Stock Banks, in
1_ this kingdom, and especially in the county of Lancaster,
have demonstrated to every individual who has watefied their
progress that such enterprizes •are sound in principle, safe and
beneficial to the Public, and profitable to the,Shareholder.
The objections raised by the fastidio s gainst Joint Stock
Banks, on their first establishment, • now answered by a
proud reteremee to their successful orking in Manchester,
Liverpool, and other towns throughout the empire, as it now
becoines.obvions, even from the admission of the private banker,
that his establishment will be, ere long, completely super-
annuated.

Indeed, when we Consider the fundamen'al Principle on which
such Banks rest—that of mutual exertion for mutual benefit—
that the interests of these establishments are committed to the
care of men of character, wealth, and probity—and that the
Shareholders hold an effectual control'over the management—
it is not strange that these combined energies should prove so
pre-eminently successful.
In addition toryeifedt Securit y,.and the facilities for business,
which Joint Stuck
,Winks present,—the Shareholders in thosq
already established have been enabled, exclusive of a profitable
return as Interest upon the paid Capital, to realize Premiums
averaging from 50 to 60 per cent.
It is clear, that the Town of Bury, with her 20.000 inhabitants,
surrounded by a'distriet energetically engaged in commercial
pursuits, especially in conjunction with the increasing and
flourishing Town of Heywood, offers every encouragement for
the establishing of a Bank upon the Joint Stock Principle,
freed and unshackled from the impost of a large premium to the
promoters, havinglor its object the public good, by the employ-
ment of the public capital.
It is therefore proposed,—
That a Banking CoinFany, un ler the title of " The BURY
AND H Eywoon BANKING COMPANY," be formed.
That there be Banks established at Bury and Heywood, and
that the business be that of a Deposit, Loan, Agency, Discoutt,
and Circulation Bank.
That the Capital of the Company be £3(0,000, in 30,000
Shares of £lO each.
That, on appropriation of the Shares, each Shareholder pay
One Shilling per Share towards defraying the necessary ex-
penses attendant Olson the foimation of the company ; a Sum
of £2 10s. per Share within one month from the appointment of
Directors; the remaining sum of £7 10s. to be called for at the
discretion of the Directors, giving three months notice of the
call, and calling fur no larger a sum at each call than £2 10s.
per Share. •
That Boards of Direct Ors be established at Bury and Hey-
wood, for conducting the affairs of the Company.
That, when 5,000 Shares are taken up, the Company to be
considered as formed, when a Meeting of the Shareholders will
immediately be called, for the purpose of appointing Directors.
to consist of such number as shall be then agreed upon.
That, at all Meetings of Shareholders, each Shareholder may
vote personally or by proxy, authorized in writing; and that the
votes be regulated as follows :-10 Shares, one vote; 30 Shares,
votes; 100 Shares and upwards, four votes.
That Fifty Shares be a qualification for a Director.
That, should one fourth of the paid-up Capital be at any time
lost, the Company to be thereupon dissolved, unless the Share-
holders, at a Meeting convened for that purpose, determine
otherwise.
That, immediately after Directors are appointed, a Deed of
Settlement lie prepared, to contain all , necessary and proper
Provisions.for ,the efficient management of the company and
the Security of the Shareholders.
Th'at the names of the Shareholders be not discloied until a
return he filed in su'cY,OMe as the law requires.

hulciars • ,

IMPERIAL RECTIFYING SPIRIT COMPANY,
CAPITA 1., £lOO,OOO, IN 10,000 SHARES OF £lO
frHE originators of the proposal taform a Company for the
purpose of Rectifying British Spirits and Manufactured
Compounds, under the above style, avail .themselves, of long
and extensive experience in the business to assure the public of
the very superior claims it has upon their confidence; and the
only reason that has deterred them from previously making it
known was, the apprehension that it might be confounded with
some of those merely theoretical sc -e es, so numerous in the
market; they now, however, sub it to practiciil awn, with
t heutmost reliance on its success

The nature of this business, compelling a large capital. in its
succeseul conduct, affords at once an explanation of the fact of
its having been hitherto confined to the hands of but very few
individuals, and has thence, very naturally, become with them
a monopoly greatly important and lucrative ; but the now active
and successful application of the principle of combined contri-
butions places the advantages, hitherto confined to the select
few, within the reach of all.

_ .
That the people of Lancashire should send away their capital
to London or to Bristol, for an article which they are equally
competent to' produce at home, is a mercantile oversight which
it is high time to remedy. And to give some notion of the
amount to which these remittances extend, the fact may be
mentioned, that about 600,000 gallcins of Gin alone are annually
sold in the town of Liverpool. And some idea of the extent to
which the business is carried may be derived from the circum-
stance of one London house employing twelve Travellers. . That
so great an omission as that referred to should have existed so
long, while the population of this county has been progressing
with such rapid strides, is not very unlike a deep reflection on
the Spirit and enterprise of such towns as Liverpool and Man-
chester.

The public have now before them more than one projected
establishment. for the Distillation of Spirits, which, from their
products being made on the spot, must greatly facilitate and
cheapen the process of subsequent Rectification here. It should
also be observed, that the transmission alone of Gin from Lon-
don to Liverpool, Manchester, and other places in this county
burdens the price of that article with no less than an extra six-
pence per gallon.
It is intended that this establishment shall embrace all the
branches of
_the general business of Rectifying—in the manu-
facture of E'ritish Compounds, Spirits of Wine, &c. that it
shall not interfere with the Wholesale Dealers, but be confined
to the supply of the Trade only; and ifis, therefore, almost un-
necessary to suggest, that the Dealers, who have hitherto been
excluded from any share in the profits of this departmtnt of
their business, may now combine it with these oftheir usual
occupation.
Two or three other of the peculiar advantages resulting from
a large establishment, such as the one now proposed,. may be
briefly alluded to, viz., the prodtiction of a much superiorarticle
than can be procured ot, a small scale; the promptitude of sup-
ply in the locality of this part of the kingdom ; and the conse-
quent reduction in the cost. and the competency of such a Com-
pany to accommodate purchasers with a greater extent of credit
than can be afforded by the private or small capitaliit. The
projectors have iherefore, determined to establish a Company,
to he called THE IMPERIAL RECTIFYING SPIRIT
COMPANY, with a Capital of £lOO,OOO, in 10,000 Shares at
£lO each. _

That the first instalment be £1 per Share, and be paid within
fourteen days after the appointment of the Directors. That the
subsequent calls be made in such proportions (but never ex-
ceeding El per Share) and at such periods as the Direciors see
necessary, upon giving one calendar month's previous notice.
That two shillings and sixpence per Share be paid on allot-
met, a portion of which to be applied in defraying- the expenses
of constituting the Company, and the surplus carried to the
credit of the joint fund,
Thai a deed of settlement be prepared, containing all neces-
sary provisions fur the security of the Company, and for its
efficient management ; and, in order to limit the liability of the
Shareholders, a clause be inserted in such deed, providing, that
in case one-fourth of the subscribed capital shall be at any time
lost, the Con.pany shall be dissolved, unless threg;fourths of the
Proprietors shall otherwise determine.

That so soon as 3 000 Shares be subscribed for, (the Shares
to be transferable,) the Company shall be considered as formed,
and a Meeting of the Subscribers called for the purpose of elect-
ing the General Board of Directors, to consist of Niue Share-
holders, possessing not less than forty Shares each, who shall
continue in office one year, one-third retiring each year, but
who shall be eligible to be re-elected.
That all the concerns of the Company shall be under the
management of the General Board of Directors, by whom all
officers and clerks shall be appointed.
That the holder of five Shares shall be entitled to one vote;
twenty, to two votes; and fifty or upwards, to three votes; each
Shareholder to vote by himself or proxy, such proxy being
a Shareholder.
