We have examined the cash and securities in London, and the London
books, and have verified the transfers from the several branches in the
Commonwealth and New Zealand, and we besr to report that, in our opinion,
the foregoing is a full and fair balance-sheet of the Bank, and that it exhibits
a true and correct view of the state of the Bank's affairs as shown by the
books. The investments are valued at market price or under.
