The great want of a thoroughly r Colonial Banking Institution for the whole Colony of New Zealand having long been felt, it has been determined by the Provisional Committee to.isupply the same. by placing before the public: the prtsent-carefully considered scheme, with the full confidence that it will meet with very general support. 2nd. Asa first step it is proposed to offer to. the people .of -this Colony one-half of the nominal capital, or .200,000 shares, in fafr proportions to each of the Provinces throughout New Zealapd, on the^'asfe of the respective populations of each Province^ reserving the other half to be disposed of herealter, as the rapid progress of the colony may demand and shareholders may decide ; .but in no instorice will any of the remaining share's be offered for sale out ot the Colony without having . been . first offered to the Colonial holders,- nor will any but. * New Zealand Register be kept. 3rd.
