in the City of London, stock broker,

severally make oath and say: And first the deponent A. B.

for himself saith; That on or about the

day of

And

in the year one thousand eight hundred and he this deponent instructed the other deponent C. D. to purchase for him this deponent by his description aforesaid, the sum of pounds, Navy five per cent an nuities, and that he afterwards paid him for the same with his, this deponent's own proper money; And further, that the said stock has been transferred to this deponent, but through the mistake of the other deponent, he this deponent has been described in the transfer books as of the other deponent C. D. for himself saith, that on or about the time aforesaid he this deponent received directions from the other deponent to purchase such stock as aforesaid for him by the description first abovementioned, and that he the other deponent afterwards paid this deponent for the same: And this deponent further saith, that in the note he gave into the Bank for directing the transfer of such stock to the said other deponent, he this deponent by mistake described him of and that the said other deponent's being so described is entirely owing to the fault and error of this deponent C. D. And both the deponents for themselves severally say, that there is no such person as A. B. of gent. to the knowledge or belief of these deponents respectively.

This affidavit need not be on a stamp, and since a recent altera. tion, no fee is to be paid at the Bank to the clerk whose depart ment it is, on receipt of the affidavit, to obliterate the false de scription and insert in its stead the right one; but till such an

affidavit is produced, they will not suffer the dividends to be received or the stock transferred. The above is a verbatim copy of an affidavit drawn and sworn to by myself, jointly with my stock broker, on such a mistake being made by him as is above pointed out. It was approved of by the proper person appointed by the directors to receive such affidavits, who is very parti eular as to the form.
