Country Banks. —The “ Dunstan Times,” remarking upon the death of the late Mr Bedborough, says.—We question if it is morally right that a man, singly by himself, should be left in charge of any of the Bank agencies. It is cruel and inhuman to require such. A lad, even for company’s sake, would not cost much, and we think that, in the interests of the shareholders, such should be conceded when the agent on the goldfields is not a married man, as in reality he should be. ' In this case the Bank has a great deal to answer for. Had assistance been at hand it is very probable that the poor agent Bedborough, who breathed out almost to his last breath unattended and uncared for, might be a living man at the present time. What else'might happen in a similar case it is almost impossible to conjecture, ■there would be nothing to prevent the whole of the property of the Bank being carried off.
