NEW CAPITAL FOR LOCAL BANK.
AFFAIRS OF INSTONE BANKING CORPORATION.
BUSINESS RENEWAL?
At an extraordinary, general meeting of the shareholders of the Instone Banking Corporation, Limited, (in voluntary liquidation) held this morning it was announced that the liquidators have aucceeded in interesting outside capitaliste in the affairs of the Bank and that a Sydicate has signed an agree- ment in which they pledge them. selves to provide the Bank with further canital; sufficient to permit. the Instone Banking Corporation, Ltd. to re-commence and re-operate their business paying all credi- tors of the Bank in full,
After a detailed explanation of this Agreement which the liquida tors (Messrs. C. A. C. Rodrigues and Instone Brewer) aubmitted for approval, the Meeting speedily signified their appreciation of it,
that realising"
the avold. ance of delay in paying all debts would prevent an otherwise possible hardship to the less well-off of the depositors.
The meeting accordingly directed that the Company should enter into this Agreement with the Syndicate and deputed Mr. Instone Brower to fix the Company's seal,
The Bank notifies that a slight further delay in paying the credi- tors' cannot be avoided, as it is necessary first to obtain a Court Order consenting to the proposed arrangement; but Immediate steps are being taken in respect to this.
It will be remembered that the Instone Banking Corporation, Ltd., suffered n Bovere blow last year from the action of the Kwanetung Provincial Government in respect to the Company's branches in Can- Lon and Shekki; and the recent de- cision to liquidate was based on the realization that unless new capital were received adequate to replace the lense suffered by the Bank on that occasion, subsequent activities would necessarily be confined to a modified scale.
WORTHLESS WOOD STOLEN.
RIVAL CLAIMANTS APPEAR IN COURT.
A very strunge incident accurr ed during the hoaring of a case before Mr. T. S. Whyte Smith, at the Kowlon Magistracy this morn- ing, when two`men claimed that they were the owners of four plecos of wood which formed the subject of a charge of larceny.
The accused person was charged with stealing four pieces of wood from No. 1, Salisbury Avenue, the residence of Mr. Clement Yau.
Detective Sergeant Humphreys mentioned that since the de- fendant's arrest another Chinese had claimed the wood,
When Ofe new claimant was questioned by his Worship, he said that the wood was his and he could identify it. Mr. Yau, how- ever, said that he was unable to sinte definitely that the wood was his property.
two
The defendunt, who had revious convictions for Inrceny, was sentenced to two montha' hard labour, and when the ques- Kon of the ownership' of the wood was raised by the police, his Wor- ship agked Mr. Yau if he would allow the other man to have the wood as he (Mr. Yau) placed no value on it.
