| ‘The Bank of P. B

Island.

| Dear Str,—A person subscribing ‘self ‘‘A Shareholder and Depositor,’ nobody's dictum equal to hs own. Among other things he asks ‘* If soporofics, ad.nin- istered in the shape of Aunual Re sports. by | deluded directors, and accounts faisified by ithe Cashier, were calculated to enlighten the shareholders ? This question is peculiarly interesting | from a shareholder’s stand-point. He |

| admits that the dircc'ors administered a} [+ soporific” tohim. He admits the direct- cheated, He |

a

admits that the Cashier fal-itied jaccounts. Iam inclined to the opinion ‘that the ‘‘Seporific” which the shareholder |

| received was in the shape of dividevds and | / not reports; and since the business appears | to be deluded and false from beginning to end, would it not be advisable for a ‘share

holder,” to refund the dividends now that | his intellect is clear and free from the ** soporific” state. The directors and}

cashier were the servants of the share- holders—paid by them to look after their business. It was the privilege of the share- holders to call a meeting «nd inquire into}

the management of the Bank. ‘‘Share- holder and Depositor,” by his training might have a much greater} knowledge of banking than _ others.

It might be considered gross neglect of duty in him not to look carefully into the aff.irs of the bank, and give the others the benefit | of his knowledge ‘and prevent himself and others from falling into the arene condition which he now complains of.

A ‘‘Shareholder and Depositor,” to-| gether with the directors, had Sa) | means of knowing the truths of their annual | reports, and in making snch statements to! outside depositors and the public, who had no such means,they must be guilty of frand; for they must be aware the public relied on) them in regard to the affairs of the bank. | He asks, ‘‘how does the shareholder stand?” I answer he stood better in the community | than he dees now. Heshould have asked | himself that question twelve months ago, | And he should have contributed his double | liability f r resumption instead of liquidat- ion, because he should have considered that his honor and reputation was bound np with the direcors in uphok ling the bank. As he has preferred liquidation, be should in| all honesty pay his ha ility in cash and leave his deposits on the same level with t'e other dep stors, who had not the opp rtunity cf receiving a “ soporific’ in the shape of a divid n’, He accuses the cashier of falsifiying the accounts. He has net informed the public whether it was Mr. Brecken or Mr. Cundall, the! previous cashier, he alluded to. He must have positive information when he makes such a statement. As he is in possession of such facts I hope he will recognize his, responsibility as a Shareholder, and will institute proper proceedings against the guilty ones immediately.

The liquidators, [ presume, do not require auy advice from me. They have good legal Councillors. The creditors of the Bank expect them to do their duty! without fear, favour, or affection; and as men who must give an account of their, stewardship they must act It is to be, regretted that the men who should help | ‘them are obstructing them in settling the | affairs of the Bank, speedily and economi-

cally. The Direct! rs and Shareholders! should put their shoulders to the wheel and help the liquidaturs to declare a) handsome dividend. That is the way to) avoid litigation and expenses.

Yours truly, R, McNett. New London, 26th, Dec., 1882.

P. S —At the time the Merchants Bank suspended payment, a countrymin asked one of the Directors of the Bank of P. E | Island how the Merchants Bank stood !

The reply was I know nothing abont it,

but added, ‘‘ask me about the old Bink

and I can tell you.” This same gentleman imagines he is quite irresponsible, yet if he

had a poor man’s name to a note of hand he would exact the uttermost farthing.

The commencement of the New Year would

be @ propitious season for the Dir: ctors to remember the poor who have suffered by their negligence.

Yours &c.,
