At the Annual Meeting of Proprietors held on Thursday , the 3 rd February , 1853 , at the London Tavern , Bishopsgate Street , the following Report for the Year ending the 31 st December , 1852 , was read by the Secretary . John Sadleir , Esq ., in tne alr REPORT . Your Directors have more than ordinary pleasure ^ . submitting to the Proprietors a general statement of the attairs ol the Company , and the result of the Half-year ' s Accounts ending the 31 st December , 1852 . In June last your Directors decided , that the large and steady advance in the business of the Company made it desirable to increase the Capital from £ 300 , 000 to £ 400 , 000 . In carrying out this measure , they offered to the Proprietors the option ot the New Capital at a premium of £ 3 10 s . per Share , and they have the satisfaction to state that the whole amount was at once taken up . The sum of £ 17 , 500 arising from the Premium , has enabled your Directors to extinguish the dead weight of ± . x 7 , 000 , arising from the Preliminary Expenses which had accrued from the year 1836 , in establishing the various Branches of the Com-During the past year your Directors have opened branches at Colchester , High Wycombe , Richmond , and Uxbridge , which they have every reason to believe will tend materially to promote the interests of the Company . The marked improvement in the progress of the Bank has enabled your Directors to give expression to their entire approval of the uniform zeal and integrity of the numerous Officers employed in London , and at the Country Branches , by presenting to each Officer a gratuity of 10 per cent , on the amount of his salary . The net profits of the Half-yenx ending the 31 st December , 1852 , after reserving an ample sum for bad and doubtful debts , amount to £ 14 , 299 7 s . 2 d ., as set forth in the Balance Sheet , signed by your Auditors . Your Directors recommend that a Dividend at the rate ot 6 per cent , per annum , and a Bonus of 2 per cent , ( equal to 8 per cent , on the year ) , both iree from Income-Tax , should now be declared . This , if approved by the Proprietors , will leave £ 4674 19 s . 4 d . to be carried to the Guarantee Fund , which will then be increased to £ 44 , 325 7 s . Your Directors have great gratification in stating that their respected Chairman , John Sadleir , Esq ., has laid the foundation of a Provident Fund , for the relief of Officers who , irom misfortune , sickness , or superannuation , may become incapable of providing for themselves and their families . Your Directors have thought tbat the moBt acceptable return they could offer to Mr . Sadleir would be some general measure , by which this Provident Fund might be systematically enlarged , for the benefit of the Officers . They have " given to this object their most mature consideration , and have established a graduated scale of guarantee among the Officers , which combines the advantage of mutual watchfulness and control over their fidelity and good conduct , with a regular contribution by each Officer , to the increase of tho Provident Fund . Your Directors anticipate that tho result of thi 8 plan will , in the course of a few years , give an extended and efficient aid to tho benevolent views of the Chairman . Tho Directors retiring by rotation are—John Wheelton , John Griffith Frith , and Richard Springett , Esquires , who have respectively given notice of their intention to become- candidates for re-election .
