NEW ZEALAND,
TO WIT.

In the matter of a Bill intituled "An Act to further 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
introduce a Bill to be intituled "An Act to further amend
'The New Zealand Bank Act, 1861.'"
The object of the said Bill is to confirm and validate certain
resolutions passed at the half-yearly general meeting
of the proprietors of the said bank, held in London on the
28th day of August, 1890, and confirmed at a special general
meeting of said proprietors, also held in London on the 18th
day of September, 1890.
The following is a copy of the resolutions above referred
to:—

1. "That the £1 15s. per share of the existing shares in
   the capital of the bank numbered 1 to 100,000 inclusive, and
   £2 10s. per share of the shares in the same capital numbered
   100,001 to 150,000 inclusive, be and the same respectively
   are hereby cancelled, such capital having been lost or being
   unrepresented by available assets; and that henceforth
   dividends shall be paid on the first-mentioned shares as
   representing £5 5s. each, instead of £7 each; and on the
   secondly-mentioned shares as representing £7 10s. each,
   instead of £10 each: but such reduction shall not interfere
   with or in any way alter the liability of shareholders to
