The Loan and Mercantile.

London, April 10. The Hon. A. J. Mundella, in his examination, denied that he was aware that the prospectuses regarding the security of the debentures were mis leading, but thought them only am biguous. He condemned the colonial Board's greediness for business and overtrading up to the hilt, against •which he had protested. The sugges tion that he was guilty of a policy of ■concealment was a gross injustice, but he had thought it would be injurious to inform the shareholders of Mr Larkworthy's report without confirma tion. Mr Paul^he said, never men tioned the Company's holding of Waikato lands in connection with the balance sheet of 1891. The Judge described the Company's transactions in Waikato lands as un justifiable as an investment.
