STOPPAGE OF THE BANK OF PARKER, SHORE,
AND CO., OF SHEFFIELD.

The Sheffield Independent of Saturday says! " It is our
deeply afflictive duty to announce the worst piece of local
news that ever was published in Sheffield—the stoppage of
the Old Bank of Messrs. Parker, Shore, and Co., that highly
respected firm, who have earned and maintained, -until this
time, a degree of public confidence such as no country bank-
ers have exceeded. The disastrous intelligence is conveyed
. _ _

in following notice

with the deepest regret that Messrs. Parker,
and Co., announce to their much valued connection
the public that, owing to the long-continued commercial
.epression and the heavy losses which their banking-house
has sustained in preceding years, they are under the neces-
'4v of suspending payment ; and they have also to announce
creditors of the house that immediate steps will be

taken to bring their affairs to a close.
Sheffield Bank, January 14th, 18432 "
The Sheffield Independent, published on Tuesday morn-
ing, contains the report of a meeting held at the Cutlers'
Hall, and convened by the Master Cutler, to express the
unabated confidence of the merchants, manufacturers, and
Tin the stability of the other banks of the town.
The meeting was held no Monday afternoon, and was at-
tended by the representatives of all the principal houses in
Sheffi-1-1

Master Cutler having been called to the chair, ex-
tbe painful circumstances under which the meeting
;n convened, and said that resolutions had been pre-
. whi+ he trusted would be con-

I dispassionate

then rose

to propos

That this meeting deeply regrets the circum-
-I,ave compelled the Sheffield Old Bank of
..er, Shore, and Co., to suspend payment." Mr.
_,,inery said, when they considered the character of
_.s establishment, the oldest in Sheffield, the high reputa-
tion of the individuals who were partners in the firm, and the
honourable manner in which they had conducted their busi-
ness, he believed that there was not an individual of the
100,000 inhabitants of the town but would cordially join in
the expression of regret at the circumstance which had hap-
pened. It was a public calamity, and it was their duty to
take such steps as would be likely. to prevent its being aggra-
,ated by greater calamities that mght follow.
The resolution was seconded by Samuel Hadfield, Esq.
Thomas Dunn, Esq., in giving his cordial support to the
passed a high eulogium on the honourable character
partners of the bank, and the irreproachable manner
ch they had conducted the concern. When the cir-
cumstances of Messrs. Parker, Shore, and Co. came to be
laid before the public, it will be found that in no instanced
had
rude
they deviated from a legitimate course of banking,
in ananced that
their stoppageiwas not attributable to imprudence an of
the partners in their own expenditure.
that during the last ten or twelve years, Mr. Parker and Mr.
Shore had advanced large sums to the bank, and it would
also be found that during the whole of that time they had not
taken out one penny either of capital or interest. He be-
lieved the stoppage had arisen, not from speculation or ex-
travagance on their part, but from the too groat ileniency
they had at all times shown to the merchants and mthe screw
anufac-
turers of the town, and from not having put on
tighter than they had done. The resolution was then put
and carried unanimously.

Messrs
Montgc

motion

resolved, on the motion of William
seconded by Alfred Sorby, Esq., " That in
obviate any aggravation of this great calamity, by
ssary distrust, we, the undersigned, hereby express
Are and unabated confidence in all the banks at present
g in Sheffield, viz. :—The Sheffield and Rotherham
ng Company, Messrs. Rimington and Younge's Bank,
heffield Banking Company, the Yorkshire District
, the Sheffield and Hallamshire Banking CbmPanY, and
heffield and Retford Banking Company ; and we pledge

to take their notes as usual."
f thanks was afterwards passed to the Master Cut-
udgment and promptitude he had shown in call-
'g ; and a very general feeling of sympathy and
-ssed towards Messrs. Parker and Shore, for
had befallen them in common with a large
Notwithstanding the ex-
uced on the first announcement of the stoppage
shment, it is gratifying to find that there was
indication of a pressure on the other banks in
e demands upon them not having exceeded by
few hundred pounds the usual amount. The

m Sheffield on Tuesday evening, says, " This ca-
ffair will be very severely felt at the present time
arsons both in and out of business. Messrs. Par-
ore's being the oldest bank in Sheffield, they had
greatest number of private accounts, such as the
gs of old servants, trust affairs, and others of a similar
A commission in bankruptcy will be opened in a few

The Manchester Guardian states that the claims upon the
tablishment amount to £600,000, and the present assets to

about £725,000.
