LONDON, Dec. 8, 1873
The directors of the West of England
and South Wales District Bank, the
head Office of which is at Bristol, issued q
circular yesterday Sunday announcing
the suspension of the bank owing to the
drain upon its deposits caused by
persistent and often unjustifable adj
verse rumors which have been cir
culated for weeks past. They say
the books show that the bank is solvent.
The directors hope to reconstruct the bank.
The above is the provincial bank which was
alluded to by the Manchester Guardian on
Saturday. A despatch from Cardiff says
the utmost CONSERVATION prevails in South
Wales.
IT'S IIABrLIT1Es.
The West of England and South Wales
District Bank had forty-two branches. It's
liabilities are $17,50O,OOO. It's assets
are stated at the same amount but
as they consist of local bills which are
not negotiable in London the Bank of Eng
land refused to advance upon them. The
run upon the bank for the last few days has
been so persistent that the cash in hand is
estimated at only 81, 100000. The share
holders number 1000 and their liability is
unlimited.
