Mr Garrett also raised the question of endorsing the Bills of Messrs H J Osborne & Co Ltd which were sent to the British Bank of South America and it was decided that this should be stopped as soon as possible and that at a convenient time the Secretary should write to Messrs H J Osborne & Co Ltd acquainting them of this fact, and asking them to pay their Bills through some other Bank than the British Bank of South America.
