Clarence Charles Hatry, who was born in 1890, for some years had a successful career as a financier and company promoter in London, but in 1920 the Commercial Bank of London, which he directed, failed for a large sum. In 1929 he entered into heavy engagements, to meet which he and his associates raised money by pledging with the banks forged stock certificates. In .September, 1929, the shares of the Austin Friars Trust and other Hatry companies fell heavily. Hatry confessed and the London Stock Exchange suspended dealing in the securities concerned. In January, 1930, Hatry was tried and found guilty, his sentence being penal servitude' for 14 years. The total deficiency was stated to be £13,500,000.
