The security for the notes is in no way diminished and the lia- bility of the proprietors remain the same.

Note: A copy of the proposed New Ordinance can be seen dur- ing the usant banking hours (Sun- days, Pablie and Bank Holidays excepted) in Hongkong at the Tend Office of the Corporation or at the offices of Messrs. Johnson, Stokes & Master, Prince's Build- ing, Solicitors to the sald Corpora- tion, and in Shanghai at the Office of the Corporation, from the date hereof until the date of the above mentioned coufirmatory meeting." The Chairman said. As you are aware, this meeting has been call- ed in order that the shareholders of the Corporation may authorise the Directors to take all necessary steps for the enaciment of a new Ordinance to amend the present constitution of the Corporation, You will observe from the notice, which has just been read, that a copy of the proposed Ordinance could be seen during the periods specified at the Head Offee of the Corporation and, at the office of the Corporation's solicitora in Hongkong and also at the oflce of the Corporation in Shanghui.
This is sufficient to comply with the existing requirements. A ́n matter of fact, however, a copy of the proposed, new Ordinance has been sent to every branch of the Bank and shareholders huve been given a full opportunity of perusing it at all places where there are branches or agencies.
