shipbuilding, during a period of depression could not reasonably expect much outside assistance, especially on personal security, and as it had nothing else to offer it had to close its doors. The management, it ap- pears, did not realize the position of the bank until it found the drafts of the firm to which it had made such extraordinary ad- vances, refused in Britain. So great was this shock that it at once brought the board to its senses, and a vigorous effort was put forth by the President, who is considered one of the most honorable men on the Island, to extricate the bank from its diffi- culties, but it was too late. When the firm whose drafts were refused, was known to be in trouble, some* of its wealthiest depo- sitors withdrew their funds; and this drain upon the resources of the bank continued

In doing this, the board blindly violated one of the principal safeguards of its charter, which provides that -‘‘ The aggregate of all the debts due to the said bank from the direc- tors thereof as principals, endorsers or

The result of the failure of Jas. Duncan & Co, and the suspension of the bank is not likely to prove so disastrous to the Island as was as first expected. The Merchants is, we think, the youngest bank in the Pro- vince, and those who were in a position to watch its operations never considered it very strong. Judging from transactions that have come to light its management must have been of a reckless character.
