Ist. The great want of a thoroughly Colonial Banking Institution for the whole Colony of New Zealand Having been long felt, it has been determined by the Provisional Committee to supply the same by placing before the public the present carefully considered scheme, with the full confidence that it will meet with very general support. 2nd. As a first step, it is proposed to offer to the people of this Colony one-half of the nominal capital, or 200,000 shares, in fair proportions to each of the Provinces throughout New Zealand, on the basis of the respective populations of each Province, reserving the other half to be disposed of hereafter, as tho rapid progress of the Colony may demand and shareholders may decide ; but in uo instance will any of the remaining scares he offered for •ale out of the Colppy without having been first offered to the Colonial holders, nor will any but * New Zealand Register be kept. srd, It is intended that the Head Office of the Rank shall be in Dunedin, and that a General Manager of high professional standing shall be appointed to guide the operations of the Bank j and also that a Board of qualified Directors shall be elected from among the Committee to advise with the General Manager, and generally watch the interests of the whole In-, stitution. 4th. As soon as a sufficient number of Shares shall have been applied for to warrant the commencement of business, the Head Office will be opened in Dunedin, in suitable Premises already secured under offer, and thereafter Branches will gradually be opened in the Chief Centres of Settlement throughout the Colony. If will be the chief aim of the Promoters of this Bank to aid and conserve alike the interests of the whole community in thin Colony. The Mercantile, Trading, Pastoral, Agricultural, Mining, Artizan, and Laboring classes will each have fair treatment and support from the Colonial Bank. To the Mining Interest special attention will be given, with a- desire to acquire for he Miners the Mint value of their Gold, whethei a large or small quantities, and until Biiciiviiliiii r be ascertaiiftd a liberal advance will be made upon any Gold deposited for the purpose of coinage. • ' i-L • * s 11 hiteiified by the Promoters that this Bank shafi purchase Gold, but merely be prepared to make advances upon it until realised, in the same manner that it,will be ready t° do upon Wool, Grain, or other produce. 7th. The amount of New Zealand Money in the hands of the three Banks from Australia. trading in the Colony on the 31st December last, as shown by their several returns furnished to the Government, appear thus, without giving odd numbers TT .
