LIVERPOOL BANKING COMPANY

Tn THR mnrrnm np rum Livmmmanr. RTANTDATM
am a holder of a large number of shares in the
Liverpool Banking Company, that stopped in October last.
At the last meeting, the directors assured us that the
bank would resume payment shortly, Three months have,

however, elapsed, and the time seems as far distant as
ever. But though they do not pay us a dividend, they
wish us to pay them a call!
1, for one, cannot afford to do so. My shares were
purchased at a high premium, as an investment yielding a
fair return ; my income is now stopped, and the directors
demand more money of us ! In this state of things, the
best thing that can be done is to call in all outstanding
accounts, and return us our money, or what of it remains.
1 I want mine badly, so do many of my friends theirs.

Your; obliged,
A LARGE HOLDER

We learn that there were other signatures of Liverpool
clergymen attached to the address of confidence in Dr.
Hampden besides those mentioned in our last. Amongst
them were those of the Rev. W. M. Falloon, Rev. H.
Carpenter, Rev. H. Parr, and Rev. Longuville.
