The Official Receiver said that Bir James stated that the business was just solvent when he entered it, but no balance-sheet was pre- pared, while the Profit and Loss count appeared in the private ledger. An a count was submitted to the War Office in 1921 but was not sent to the Official Re ceiver and to the debtors. He stated that many temporary members of the staff, dur ing the war were incompetent. Cheques were honoured which should not have been honoured and customers were allowed to overdraw without authority. A large number of temporary customers withdrew their accounts on demobilisation. This was a beary drain on the resources of the Bank.
