B. Island. MEETING OF CREDITORS. In accordance with the order of Mr. Justice Peters, a meeting of the Creditors of the Bank of P. E. {sland, the Bank Building, to day About forty gentlemen were present and F. W. Hales, Esq 5 occupied the chair. A statement of busiuess dene by the Liquidators, was amonnting to $19] ,422 46. of which, $61,- 170.70 is cash now on hand. An irregular talk over the working ex- penees of the liquidators and of the directors before the Bank went into liquidation, amounted fo nething Dr. MeNeill moved, DStewar', ed as to when the Bank firat became insol- vent, showiog how long it had been kept} working merely on ‘the money of the| creditors and what compromisesand arrange- ments had been arrived at with delinquent | d:btors. The metion was oppesed by Messre. Slopgett, L. H. Davies, P. Con- nolly atid others, on the ground that it would involve a great expense to no good end. George Bear, E:q., said it would be impossible to tell when The Bank became insolvent, as it was impossible now t>#ay what the value of the assets of the Bank Waa in years cone by. H. J. Cunda!l said, that ia bis “opinion, the Bank was insolvent eighteen months or two years before the suspension; and had been kept floating by the money drawn froin Other banks. Hen. L. C. Owen said that the liquidators could not find that. the directors had been guilty of any mis- appropriations. C. ©. Gardner, Esq. , said that except for taking commission m a loan guaranteed by them, he thought there was nothing against the Directors, but their ure gence and gareleasvess. The cashier knew them so much better than they knew him, that he did not think it worth his while to falsify the books to con- cea? hia misdoings De® MeNvi'l said the Directors should i have extradited the Cashier Hon. L. H. Davies said the Directors had consulted leading lawvera with respect to the extradition of the Cashier, and had been advised that it was impossible under the Extradition Treaty. Dr. MeNeill withdrew his resclution. Mr. Sloggett suggested that some means migh t be adopted for divid ling equitably the Bank among the | remaining assets of the creditors. Some of the creditors thight be! glad to take shxres in a ship and other | preperty might be divided. A very interesting list of debtors to the Bank wes then read, and some lively cam- ments were made; but befare publishing either the list or the comments, we must | consult our legal adviser. As we go to press the discussion is still | proceeding. eee. oe Suprems Court—Hilary Term. The Hilary Term of the Supreme Conrt | was commenecd in this ¢ity to-dav, Chief Justice Palmer presiding.
