New diclosures regarding the failure of Farrow's Bank were made at the Guildhall to-day when the directors Farrow, Crotch, and Hart were brought up. The prosecutor stated that the discovery of the bank's true position was made by a New York firm, Norton and Co., which had concluded an agreement to take over control of the bank paying £500,000, of which £100,000 was payable in compensation to the retiring directors. Mr. Read. Norton's London manager, who was elected to the managership of Farrow's Bank last October, started an investigation the result of which was that the bank was proved hopelessly insolvent After that the agreement was cancelled and the matter submitted to the Board of Trade and the Treasury The prosecutor said that except in 1908 the Bank made nothing, but there were losses totalling over £1,000,000, apart from depreciation in the value great concessions have been made, azd, of securities. The total deficiency was estimated at £2.800,000.
