Having read the accompanying Correspondence 1. Make a short Abstract, Schedule, or Docket of the several letters and other papers. 2. Draw up a Memorandum or Précis, i.e., a brief and clear statement of what passed, not letter by letter, but in the form of a narrative. DIRECTIONS. (1) The object of the Abstract, Schedule, or Docket is to serve as an Index. It should contain the date of each letter; the names of the persons by whom and to whom it is written; and, in as few words as possible, the subject of it. The merits of such an Abstract are (1) to give the really important point or points of each letter, omitting everything else; (2) to do this briefly; (3) distinctly; and (4) in such a form as readily to catch the eye. (2) The object of the Memorandum or Précis, which should be, not letter by letter, but in the form of a narrative, is that any one who had not time to read the original letters might, by reading the Précis, be put in possession of ali the leading features of what passed. The merits of such a Précis are-(1) to contain all that is important in the Correspondence, and nothing that is unimportant; (2) to present this in a consecutive and readable shape, CLERKSHIPS, June 1876. CLERKSHIPS, expressed as distinctly as possible; (3) to be as brief as is compatible with completeness and distinctness. Brevity should be particularly studied. The Abstract should occupy 1 or 2 pages only, or 3 at the most. CORRESPONDENCE RESPECTING THE VARIOUS OTTOMAN LOANS. No. 1. MR. FRANKLIN to the EARL OF DERBY. London Institution, Finsbury Circus, MY LORD, UNDER date of 29th June, Lord Tenterden did me the honour to acknowledge receipt of the Memorandum transmitted by me on 26th of same month, wherein were indicated points in which a so-called Convention between the Ottoman Government and its own bankers violate essential conditions for the original contract for this Loan. Among the papers then on the table of Parliament was not included one dated 27th of the preceding April, wherein the Bank had pretended to justify its action in the matter. Since then currency has been given to that paper, and your Lordship's justice is relied upon promptly to afford like currency to the following refutation of the Bank's injurious misrepre sentations. The Bank pretends that : "In 1873 the Imperial Ottoman Bank concluded arrangements with "the contractors of the Loan respecting its future service." This makes no disclosure of who were they that in capacity of "contractors" arrogated to themselves the power to surrender rights and securities which are the very essence of the original contract, set forth in bonds long ago passed out of their hands. Suppose among the first contractors had been managers of the Bank itself, who, to avoid identification, had commissioned themselves, i.e., the Bank in its corporate capacity, to act as "agents of the contractors" for disposal of the bonds at a notable advance upon the true contract price. Suppose also that the same financiers have afterwards from time to time involved the Porte in onerous pecuniary obligations, and contrived to fund them by new creations of bonds. And suppose, moreover, those same financiers get themselves constituted Receivers-General of all Revenues, including those expressly assigned for service of the 1862 Loan, with opportunity to intercept and divert those assignments to the service of later Loans in hotch-potch, or for preferential satisfaction of their own claims in any other shape. Then on what pretext could they, their agents or allies, affect to represent bonâ fide holders of the 1862 bonds, whether as contractors, attorneys, or in any other capacity? Be it remembered, that a sufficient protest against all and every such pretence of agreement to the so-called Convention or arrangement was, at its inception, served upon all concerned, as well as transmitted by your Lordship's own agency to Constantinople. Moreover, and on supposition that the so-called Convention could supersede the original contract, is it not confessed by the Bank's latest statement, now under review, that not even a bare announcement of monthly entries to credit of the 1862 Loan can be issued unless and until the Ottoman Finance Minister of the day shall have signified his approval! Consequently, nothing can be secure until control over the bondholders dues has passed out of |
