NEW ZEALAND,) In the matter of a Bill intituled "An Act
TO WIT. ) to amend 'The New Zealand Bank Act,
1861.'"

NOTICE is hereby given that the Bank of New Zealand
intends to present a petition to the General Assembly
of New Zealand, at its next session, praying for leave to in-
troduce a Bill to be intituled "An Act to amend 'The New
Zealand Bank Act, 1861.'" The objects of the said Bill are
-(a) To confirm and validate certain resolutions passed at
a special general meeting of the proprietors of the said bank
held on the 11th day of October, 1888, and confirmed at a
special general meeting of the said proprietors held on the
19th day of October, 1888; and (b) to declare that payments
to reinstate shares to their original value, as provided by
No. 2 of the said resolutions, should not increase a share-
holder's original liability.

The following is a copy of the resolutions above referred
to:-

1. "That £3 per share of the present paid-up capital of
   the bank be, and the same is, hereby cancelled, such capital
   having been lost or being unrepresented by available assets,
   and that henceforth dividends shall be paid on such shares
   as representing £7 each instead of £10 each, the original
   amount thereof. But such reduction shall not interfere
   with or in any way alter the liability of shareholders to con-
   tribute a further sum of £10 as provided by the bank's Act
   and deed of settlement in the event of the assets of the cor-
   poration being insufficient to meet its engagements."

2. "That the Directors be empowered, at their option, to
   receive, from shareholders willing to pay the same, £3 per
   share to reinstate their shares to the original amount of £10
   per share, and on all shares so reinstated to pay dividends
   on the original amount of such shares: Provided that such
   payment to reinstate shares shall not render the share-
   holder liable to pay any further or larger amount than he
   would have been liable for if the shares had remained at £10
   each as originally created."

3. "That the several assets and accounts held for realisa-
   tion, and outside the category of what may be regarded as
   ordinary and current business, be liquidated by the Directors
   as speedily as may be, having regard to advantageous reali-
   sation thereof; and that in the meantime such assets be
   transferred to, and held and treated in globo in, a separate
   liquidation account, and so as that surplus in realising any
   one asset may be set against deficiency in realising any
   other without passing such surplus or deficiencies respec-
   tively through the ordinary profit and loss account."

4. "That the words beginning 'and if' in clause 102 of
   the deed of settlement, to the end of the clause, be, and the
   same are, hereby deleted."

5. "That, in disposing of the new shares created and
   authorised to be issued by the resolution of the special
   general meeting of proprietors held on the third day of
   October last, the Board of Directors may make it one of the
   conditions that payment for such new shares may be made
   by such instalments as the Board of Directors may think
   fit."

And notice is hereby further given that copies of the said
Bill will be deposited at the office of the Examiner of
Standing Orders at Wellington at or before the commence-
ment of the session.

Dated this 11th day of April, 1889.
