as such Register affects persons residing in the Irish Free State, to the Bank of England, London, desire to put on record their considered opinion that the proposed transfer would cause great inconvenience to and involve considerable trouble and expense to the investing public of the Irish Free State; and further, that such a transfer would amount to a breach of faith with the Government Stockholders of Southern Ireland—not only large holders of Government Securities, but also the important class of thrifty and saving small investors—-who subscribed for Government Funds on the faith of definite pledges that such Funds could be dealt with in the Bank of Ireland, Dublin, thereby assuring to these Stockholders a speedy and in expensive method of realising their investments if required. " The Council also desire to point out that the proposed transfer would go far to debar the Irish Investor from investing his savings in a form of security which has hitherto been regarded as the most desirable on account of the facility, cheap ness and rapidity with which it could be bought and sold. " That copies of this resolution be sent to the President and Minister of Finance of the Irish Free State, to the Chancellor of the British Exchequer, to the Governors of the Bank of Ireland, the President of the Dublin Chamber of Commerce, and the President of the Dublin Stock Exchange."
